46-48 depending on the trimuck n trailer..wabash is 1.5k lighter. Dan great dane
96 inches.
The weight capacity for semi trailer is 80,000 LBS. That is calculating with two or more consecutive axles to the nearest 500 LBS.
I live in Canada it might be different for you but 17000 KG per axle is the general rule
Depends on the type and size of the rig, but a typical tractor weighs 15,000# and a 53' enclosed van trailer weighs about 13,000#, for a total of 28,000 lbs. Most US highways have an 80,000 pound weight limit, so the load capacity or maximum net weight of a typical tractor-trailer is 52,000 lbs.
You call it a semi because it pulls a semi trailer.A semi is a type of trailer. A semi-trailer, as opposed to a full trailer, means it only has axles at the rear of the trailer and a full trailer has axles at the front and rear of the trailer. We call these in the UK "drags", as in wagon and drag, where the wagon that pulls the drag can carry a load on its own, whereas the semi-trailer truck, or tractor unit cannot carry anything without a trailer.
Depends greatly on the configuration of the truck and trailer but average cargo capacity is about 42,000 lbs or 4050 cubic feet.
The interior dimensions of a 53' semi trailer is 52 feet in length and 99 inches in width. The capacity is 4050 cubic feet.
The load on the king pin on a semi trailer can be calculated by weighing the vehicle. When weighing the vehicle on a certified scale, the steers (front tires), drives (the two axles on the semi cab) and the tandems (the two axles on the trailer) are all weighed separately as a part of the whole weight. The king pin weight is the weight of the drives.
Assuming you're referring to a 53' semi trailer, 41,000 - 43,000 lbs. for an 80k combination is typical.
The fuel capacity on a Semi ranges from 50 to 250 gallons sometimes more. The carry capacity can be as high or higher than 40,000 gallons depending on what is to be carried in a single trailer
