Best Answer

Depends where you are, as weight allowances are much different in various countries. For a tandem axle straight truck in the US, the max weight would be 54,000 lbs. In a dump truck, that typically equates to 13 - 15 US short tons of payload (dependent on the tare weight of the vehicle, of course). If you're referring to a tractor pulling a trailer, a standard five axle unit (steer axle, tandem drive axles, tandem or spread trailer axles) would be allowed a max gross weight of 80,000 lbs. under the federal bridge law, which, depending on the empty weight of the vehicle, could typically permit you anywhere from 20 to 25 US short tons of payload.

They come in many sizes and configurations.

You'd have to be a little more specific as to which one you had in mind.


How much fuel does a tandem dump truck use per hour?

In idle? The configuration of the tractor has nothing to do with determining that.

How many yards will a tri-axle dump truck hold?

i believe a tri axlw will hold about 14 yards of top soil A Tri-Axle will hold up to20 - 25 yards of soil depending on weight. A Tandem will hold about 14 - 17 yards of soil. Tri-axle can hold about 30 yards of mulch. How much it will hold, depends on the size of the box. I can 'legally' load 20 yds of 'pit-run' (gravel) in a 24 foot tandem trailer (in my province).
