Micro trucks <1.8 tons; light trucks 1.8-6 tons; medium trucks 6-14 tons; heavy trucks 14-100 tons; super heavy trucks >100 tons
The load capacity of trucks varies significantly according to the classification of vehicle models, which are divided as follows (priority is given to comprehensive data sources with high authority and timeliness).
Mini Trucks
Gross mass less than 1.8 tons, mainly used for urban short-distance light transport.
Light trucks
With a load capacity of 1.8-6 tons, they are suitable for urban distribution or short-distance transportation, and some models use gasoline or natural gas power.
The data in 2024 shows that the annual sales volume of light trucks in China reached 1,894,500 units, which is one of the main models.
Medium Duty Trucks
Load range 6-14 tons, suitable for medium-distance transportation, balancing load and flexibility.
Heavy Duty Trucks
Load capacity 14-100 tons, mostly used for long-distance transportation or large cargo, mainly with diesel engine.
The hazards of overloading are significant: possible damage to road facilities, increased braking distances and risk of tire blowouts.
Super Heavy Duty and Specialty Trucks
Load more than 100 tons, such as mine transport trucks, military trucks and other special vehicles up to 200 tons.
Suggestion: Match the model according to the actual cargo weight and transportation scenarios to avoid the safety and legal risks caused by overloading.
More information
What is the reason why the brake pads of heavy trucks are not wear-resistant?
Due to friction, the brake pads of heavy trucks will gradually wear out. Generally speaking, the lower the cost, the faster the brake pads will wear out. The brake pads should be replaced in time after the friction material is used, otherwise the steel plate and the brake disc will directly contact, and eventually the braking effect will be lost and the brake disc will be damaged. What is the reason why the brake pads of heavy trucks are not wear-resistant?
Several brake pad problems of heavy truck brake pads
This may be caused by the thinning of the brake pads of heavy trucks, potholes in the brake pads, foreign matter in the brake pads or rust on the brake discs, etc. Generally, the abnormal noise of the brake will be alleviated by stepping on a few more feet.
Do you understand the knowledge in truck brake pads?
Trucks are the main force in my country's logistics and freight industry, and their driving trajectories can be anywhere in the country. For truck drivers and truck bodies, every thousand miles of transportation is a very difficult test. Because the truck's carrying tonnage is relatively large, this has greater requirements for the safety of the vehicle, and many old drivers will choose to make a fuss on the brakes of the truck. Below, truck brake pad manufacturers will explore the knowledge of truck brakes weighing dozens of tons with everyone.
The dangers of overloading trucks
The hazards of overloading trucks mainly include the following aspects:
What are the load capacities of the different sizes of vans?
There are significant differences in the load capacity of each size of truck, which are described below:
Is there a difference between different types of truck loads?
Significant differences do exist between different types of trucks for cargo transportation. Different types of trucks are suitable for different cargo transportation needs due to their design features and performance differences.
