A typical 53' dry van would weigh between 9,000 and 11,000 lbs.
10,000 lbs. to 20,000 lbs. Some are made to be particularly lightweight, and some are armored.
The dimensions of a 53 foot trailer are a length of 6.3m, a height of 0.94m and a width of 1.02m.
53 foot
Assuming you're referring to a 53' semi trailer, 41,000 - 43,000 lbs. for an 80k combination is typical.
53 foot
That's how long the trailer is. The Surface Transportation Assistance Act, which brought the 53-foot trailer into being, required that "53" be put on a 53-foot trailer so people would know it was longer than the then-standard 48-foot trailer, and it would need to swing wider in turns.
In the vicinity of 9,000 - 10,000 lbs.. more weight of course if it's a refrigerated and insulated trailer.
Oh, isn't that just a happy little question! Well, it all depends on how much scrap metal you have on that 53-foot trailer. Each trailer can hold a different amount, so it's important to weigh it to know for sure. Just remember, whether it's a little or a lot, there's always a way to turn that scrap metal into something beautiful!
The total square footage inside a 53 foot semi trailer is about 3,400 square feet. This space can only be fully occupied if the semi truck and trailer weight combined is 80,000 pounds or less. Federal law regulates how much a loaded semi truck and trailer can weigh. There are also limits on axle weight to arrive at this total. It is 12,000 for steer tires, 34,000 for drives, and 34,000 for tandem axles.
A 53-foot tandem trailer typically has a maximum gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of around 80,000 pounds, which includes the weight of the trailer itself, the cargo, and the truck. The payload capacity can vary based on the specific trailer and truck combination, but generally, the cargo alone can weigh between 45,000 to 50,000 pounds. It's important to check local regulations and specific equipment ratings for precise limits.

About 40,000 pounds worth, which is enough to fill a 53-foot trailer to about three feet deep. It would be silly to use a 53-foot trailer for a load like that, so they'd use a short trailer.
