Legal limits can vary from state to state, but a good general rule is 800 pounds per wheel. Axel weight limits should not exceed 73,280 pounds.
20,000 lbs. statutory for each trailer axle, provided that there is a 10' spread between the axles. This does not affect the gross weight you are allowed.
With a ten foot spread, you can have up to 40,000 lbs. total on the trailer axles, but no more than 20,000 lbs on each individual axle.
The gross weight of a 53' dry van trailer typically ranges from 15,000 to 25,000 pounds when empty. When fully loaded, the total weight, including the trailer and cargo, can reach up to 80,000 pounds, which is the maximum legal weight limit for most highways in the United States. However, the exact weight can vary based on the trailer's construction and the materials used.
80,000, same as it is with a 53' van. Even with a 57' foot trailer, the 41' bridge law between the drive axles and the trailer tandems still applies.
I have a 2003 nissan murano and want to tow a trailer what is the weight limit
Yes and no, the weight of your payload + trailer weight on the truck cannot exceed the payload weight limit.
12,000 on the steers (can be up to 20,000 so long as the vehicle does not exceed the 80,000 GVW limit), and the drive and trailer tandems are permitted a total of 34,000 for each pair of axles. Trailers with spread axles are permitted up to 20,000 lbs. per axle for a total of 40,000 on the trailer axles, but again must remain within that 80,000 GVW limit.
You have to put your weight evenly between your trailer axles and your trucks rear axles. You have to know the weight limit of your truck and trailer, it should say in the owner's manual or you can read the weight limit on the tires. The majority of the weight should be on the trailer because if you put most of the weight on the truck the trailer will begin to fishtail. If it is a flatbed trailer and you look along the side you will see that it bows up, you should never load it to were it bows down because it is probably overloaded at that point. Also you should read the owner's manual to learn how to move the axles on the trailer.
44,000 is more like the limit on a tandem trailer.
96 Rav 4 tow limit is 1,500 lbs. Hitch weight limit is 150 lbs. But remember to include the hitch weight in the total trailer weight of what you are towing. And NEVER tow anything that weighs the maximum trailer weight
Gross combination weight rating (GCWR) is the maximum weight limit determined by the vehicle manufacturer, including the weight of the vehicle, passengers, cargo, and towed trailer. Gross combination weight (GCW) is the actual measured weight of the vehicle, passengers, cargo, and trailer when fully loaded. The GCWR is a set limit, while the GCW can vary based on how the vehicle is loaded.
The weight limit on a tri-axle trailer typically ranges from 34,000 to 40,000 pounds, depending on factors such as the trailer's design, state regulations, and the type of cargo being transported. The total weight is also subject to federal bridge formula regulations, which take into account the number of axles and spacing. It's essential to check local and federal guidelines to ensure compliance with specific weight limits.
