Somewhere between 25,000 and 27,000 most likely. Can't really get more specific than that without knowing more information. The vehicle's powertrain will factor into the empty weight of the vehicle (e.g., an 8.3 Cummins will weigh considerably less than a 12.7 Detroit or 12.8 Cat), the dump bed itself (steel rock tubs are much heavier than both steel and aluminum dirt tubs), etc. The heavier the axles are rated, the more weight there'll be there, there's a significant difference in weight with aluminum vs. steel rims, the vehicle's overall wheelbase will affect the tare weight, whether it's a road tractor with a dump body slapped on or a true dump truck with a double frame and Chalmers/Camelback/Walking Beam suspension will affect the tare weight, etc.
What else can I help you with?
What is a tandem dump truck?
A dump truck with two drive axles.
What is a tri-axle dump truck?
It's a dump truck with four axles--the steer axle in front and three axles in back. One of them moves up and down via a control in the cab, so the tires aren't on the road if the truck's not loaded. A tri-axle dump truck carries more weight than a one-axle or two-axle truck.
How many axles does a tandem dump truck have?
Three - the two drive axles, and the steer axle.
What is the difference between a normal dump truck and a tandem dump truck?
A tandem dump truck is as normal as any other dump truck. Tandem simply indicates that it has two drive axles (as opposed to a single axle, which only has one). A tandem dump is typically allowed to gross at 54,000 lbs. From there, some dump trucks have additional axles (lift axles) which allow them to haul more weight. They're named in accordance with the number of axles behind the cab (i.e., not including the steer axle). So a tandem dump with a single lift axle would be referred to as a tri-axle, with two lift axles it would be referred to as a quad axle dump, with three lift axles it would be referred to as a quint axle dump.... at four lift axles, they're typically referred to as 'centipedes'.
What is a quad dump truck?
A quad axle dump truck is a tandem axle dump truck, with additional lifting pusher and/or tag axles. The most common configuration is two steerable lift axles in front of the drive tandems, although some will have one pusher in front of the tandems, and a tag behind the tandems.
What is a quad-axle dump truck?
A quad axle dump truck is a tandem axle dump truck, with additional lifting pusher and/or tag axles. The most common configuration is two steerable lift axles in front of the drive tandems, although some will have one pusher in front of the tandems, and a tag behind the tandems.
How many wheels does a dump truck have?
It can have anywhere from four (a small pickup with a dump body) to 22 or more (tractor and end dump trailer with lifting tag axles). For a straight truck in the US, the most wheels you'll get on a vehicle is a configuration which is known as a 'centipede' - it's a straight dump truck (10 wheels) with four lifting tag axles (8 more wheels), for a total of 18 wheels.
How much does a dump truck weigh?
2,000 pounds
What does an empty dump truck weigh?
A tandem axle (ten wheel) dump truck can typically weigh between 20,000 and 25,000 lbs., depending on make, model, steel or aluminum dump body, etc.
What is a tri axle dump truck?
A dump truck with two (tandem) rear pulling axles supported by a third fixed axle located in the middle of the truck which only reaches the ground after a certain amount of load weight.
What is larger a quad axle or quint axle dump truck?
A quint axle dump truck is larger than a quad axle dump truck. The quint axle configuration includes five axles, which allows for a higher payload capacity and increased stability compared to a quad axle truck, which has four axles. This additional axle in quint axle trucks helps distribute weight more effectively, making them suitable for heavier loads.
What does a quad-axle dump truck look like?
It looks like a dump truck that has another axle in front of the tandems at the rear of the vehicle. Most people who have these trucks have a mechanism to allow the fourth axle to be raised when it's not needed.
