The meaning of the word tonnage. Types and sizes of 30 ton trucks

KamAZ dump trucks are different in terms of carrying capacity, in terms of body volume in cubic meters. So, for example, KAMAZ-6520, its carrying capacity is 20 tons, and the volume of the body is from 12 to 20 cubic meters (sometimes the sides are increased). KAMAZ-65115, 15 tons, 10 cubes body. There are 12, 14 tons, there are even 25 ton dump trucks. For this reason, it is necessary at the beginning to decide which dump truck will carry the cargo (which one from the KamAZ family).

How many cubes are in a KAMAZ dump truck model 53111, 6520.

To find out the amount of m3 in a Kamaz dump truck of manure, soil, sand, gravel, snow and other materials, we estimate the capacity of the standard 13-ton 53111 and the 20-ton version 6520. Kamaz is the most common dump truck in Russia, and indeed in all CIS countries , it can be found in almost every construction site. Naturally, potential customers are interested in how much will fit into the body this truck bulk materials, firewood, construction waste and all sorts of bricks.

The standard volume of the KamAZ-55111 dump platform is 6.6 cubic meters. That is, if the load is of a small mass, for example, sand, then it just fits into the body of about 6 cubic meters. But if we are talking about the transportation of firewood, bricks, then we must remember that the machine has a carrying capacity of only 13 tons. Accordingly, the old Kamaz, especially with a dead engine, simply will not take out too much cargo.

The dimensions of the KAMAZ 5511 dump truck are presented in the table:

There is also KAMAZ-6520, which is newer, its sides have been increased to 20 cubic meters, and its carrying capacity is also 20 tons. So, the result of how many cubes in the dump truck can be seen in the table, different materials calculated by density and weight, the table will be presented below.

Weight parameters and loads KAMAZ 6520:

  • Curb weight a / m, kg - 12950
  • Vehicle load capacity, kg — 14400 (20000*)
  • Gross vehicle weight, kg …………………………………………………… 27500 (33100*)
  • load on the rear bogie, kg - 20000 (25600)

How many cubic meters in KAMAZ models 6540 and 65201.

load capacity modern model"KamAZ - 6540" is 18,500 kg., The volume of the dump truck body is 11 cubic meters. meters, which in terms of is 1,100-about 10 liters. buckets of coal with a total weight (1,100 x 18) 19,800 kg.
And KamAZ - 65201 is able to take loads up to 25,500 kg., The volume of the dump truck body is 16 cubic meters. meters, which in terms of 1,600 tons of 10 liters. buckets of coal with a total weight (1,600 x 18) 28,800 kg.

The number of m3 in KAMAZ - table.

Material Kamaz-53111, m 3 Kamaz-6520, cubic meters
Concrete blocks and construction debris from concrete5,5 8
Manure uncompacted and compacted6.6 (up to 7 if with a slide)20
bricks6,5 10
Crushed stone 0-40 mm6,6 13
Gravel coarse 40-70 mm6,6 12,5
Sand dry6,6 12,7
The sand is wet6,2 9,52
The soil is dry6,6 14
Chernozem fresh5,9 9,1
Expanded clay6,6 20
Firewood6,6 20
Asphalt crumb6,6 10,5

As can be seen from the table, new dump truck KAMAZ-6520 can take more cubic meters of light cargo, for example, the same brick, but it cannot carry more than 10 cubic meters of concrete or black soil, despite the size of its body. Therefore, when ordering such a dump truck, you need to be prepared for the fact that the driver will refuse to load the car completely. Otherwise, he may just have an accident, break down his truck, get a fine, and considering, not very high quality"Tatarins", the frame of the dump truck may simply burst. But the old Kamaz-53111 can almost always be loaded to the very top, without worrying that the car will be overloaded.

How many cubes are included in KAMAZ of different materials.

To calculate how many cubes of soil, sand, crushed stone, expanded clay or other material are in KAMAZ, you need to know the cubic capacity of the body. You will also need it to calculate the cost of transporting any material. An important parameter when calculating the cubic capacity of sand is its moisture content and density. Depending on these indicators, cubic meters will be calculated.

"Eurotent" is a conditional concept denoting freight car with a semi-trailer dimensions close to the indicated characteristics. In the eurotruck, as the eurotent is otherwise called, it fits across the width of 2 europallets 120 cm long each.

Approximate Specifications cargo compartment car with a carrying capacity of 10-15 tons

A significant variation in the parameters is due to the large number of options for cargo compartments.

A distinctive feature of the cargo compartment of the thermovan type is the ability to maintain for a long time (10-20 hours) the temperature at which the loading was carried out, provided that the external temperature is from -10C to +20C. In addition, on some models, there is the possibility of heating the cargo compartment, which allows for a longer time and at lower external temperatures to maintain the internal temperature.

The "Transport" section was developed on our website so that our client, or just a visitor to the site, when viewing this page, could imagine what vehicles are and what kind of car is needed for trucking any cargo.

For example, customers often call and order 10 tonics onboard for transportation of two pipes, weighing 500 kg and 6 meters long, we suggest using 3 tonics to save money on this. They also often ask again for a multi-ton car with a large cubic capacity, but in fact the load from customers is not heavy, for example, insulation. We suggest using a car with a small capacity, say 5 tonic, or 3 tonic, but with a large cubic capacity, i.e., in simple terms, a car with a large van or a car with a large booth, this leads to savings Money– the client does not overpay for the tonnage of the machine. Yes, of course, non-standard cars with large booths or vans differ in price from standard ones, but not as much as in terms of tonnage. Kinds Vehicle standards can also be found in this section.

Previously, Russia had its own incomprehensible vehicle standards, for example, previous generation the generation of our parents. Now we are looking at old cars with a smile on our faces, for example, ZIL, which had a cabin larger than a body, or KamAZ with a body only 9 meters long, like flatbed KAMAZ so is the tented KamAZ - 9 meters long, 2.25 meters wide, and all this is not economically not profitable, although they built all of Russia on these machines. Now, thanks to the exchange of experience with European countries, our transport is more cost-effective, more practical, the same KamAZ pulls a semi-trailer 13.6 meters 2.45 m. width with a capacity of 33 europallets, (0.8mx1.2m) the same ZIL or now a 3-ton ZIL goby carries a decent volume in the back. Although the main part, both customers and vehicle owners, as well as forwarders, give all their preferences to foreign-made vehicles. Over the years, foreign freight cars have been gaining credibility both in the freight transportation market in Russia and in the international freight transportation market.

With TransServiceTorg, quality, reliability, comfort, directly for the driver, power reserve, softness in motion (pneumatic vehicles) are thought out to the smallest detail. Many customers, when placing an order for cargo transportation, emphasize that there must be foreign-made euro trucks.

On this page, we decided to convey to you in detail information about which vehicles are needed for the transportation of goods, so that you have an idea about the transport that will deliver your cargo and, in accordance with the characteristics of the transport provided to you for transportation, could complete the cargo in your warehouse. If you have any questions and you need to clarify the price, or place an order for transportation, you can fill out order form, or contact the manager.

Vehicle - 20 tons 120 cubic meters(8m + 8m width 2.45m height 3m) - one hundred and twenty, in the language of forwarders, transport companies, transport owners. Cars of 120 cubic meters with a carrying capacity of 20-30 tons are in great demand for cargo transportation over long distances both in Russia and for international cargo transportation due to their cubic capacity, which differs from a standard euro truck by almost 40 cubic meters. A machine of this type is also very convenient for groupage cargo, for the collection of passing cargo, for bulk and light cargo. Regular customers of such machines are manufacturers of insulation, diapers, cotton wool, high equipment, etc. The formulas, as it is customary to call transport workers, are as follows: 8 + 8, 9 + 7, 7 + 9, 6 + 10, meaning the 1st is the length of the tractor, the 2nd is the length of the trailer, the height of all is basically 3 m -3.05 m, the length of the usable area is 16 meters. Cars of this kind are mostly tented with a crate inside, furniture vans do not often come across, there are no refrigerators of 120-ok.

Yumba

Vehicles with Yumba semi-trailers are used for the delivery of bulk cargo (intercity transportation and international shipping). The volume of the trailer in terms of cubic capacity increases at the threshold, after this threshold the ceiling height in the trailer is 3m - 3.05m. This trailer is most convenient for customers selling their products in boxes or for transporting tall equipment. The minus of such a trailer is still in the same threshold, for example, if the products that need to be delivered in euro pallets (1.2m * 0.8m), then it will be more difficult to send 33 pallets already on this machine, as well as non-standard pallets (transportation of laminate, equipment in their pallets from the manufacturer). The width of the trailer is the same as for all euro trucks 2.45 m - 2.50 m before the threshold, height 2.65 m, dyne 3.9 m - 4.20 m, after the threshold height 3.0 - 3.05 m, useful length body - 9.70 m. There are Yumbas with an extended base of up to 12.20 m of useful length along the floor, the volume increases accordingly. The volume of a standard Yumba is 96 cubic meters.

Board 20 tons

Vehicles such as flatbeds, open areas, scows are mainly used for transporting special equipment with top loading or for construction purposes. AT summer season such vehicles are used at 100%, therefore, during the season, such vehicles are usually ordered a day or two days before the shipment. Flatbed trucks with bunk, ramps, and lagoons are used to transport pipes. A standard onboard vehicle is convenient for all types of cargo: for transporting equipment, pipes, bricks.

The dimensions of the onboard vehicle are as follows: 13.6 m - long; 2.45 m - 2.50 m - width, side height - 70-80 cm. When transporting pipes, cones are usually installed in order to increase the volume to load more pipes. Onboard vehicles are of different lengths, but mostly they are trailers of domestic and Belarusian production. There are cars with a length of 8 m, 9 m, 10 m, 12 m, we recall that the width according to the standards is 2.45 m, but for trailers domestic production only recently began to customize the dimensions of the bodies under the euro standards.

Nowadays, almost all customers who send orders in large volumes adjust their cargo to the standards of onboard euro platforms, for example, the transportation of bricks, blocks, slabs. Pallet sizes are usually customized onboard machines co standard sizes(length - 13.6 m; width - 2.45 m).

Eurotruck 20 tons 82 cu.

Eurotruck 20 tons 82 cu. there are the following types: tentovanny, furniture van, thermos. This figure shows a hitch with a lifting capacity of 20 tons. Eurotruck with a volume of 82 cubic meters in transport logistics is considered the most common and popular vehicle. Most of our clients request such vehicles for transportation. Euro truck dimensions: 13.6 m; length - from 2.45 m to 2.50 m; width about - 2.40 m; height - 2.70 m.

This car is quite practical for cargo transportation both in Moscow and the region, and around the world. If you need, for example, to transport cargo in a rigid van, then for these purposes there is a car - a furniture van. If you need to keep the temperature regime for a while, then for this there is an isothermal van with the same dimensions. A tented euro truck is used to transport equipment, non-perishable products (with a sanitary passport), for transportation hazardous substances(with ADR approval), for the transportation of large cargo with top and side loading, for the transportation of simple products on euro pallets with rear loading. 33 Euro pallets (1.2m x 0.8m) are placed in the semi-trailer.

The refrigerator is considered to be a special vehicle, since its isothermal van is equipped with an additional motor to control the temperature regime inside the body. The car is actually specialized, it is mainly used for the transportation of food, medicines, equipment, rarities, etc. Refrigerators are in demand both in summer and in winter; in summer they work at minus, in winter at plus. Temperature conditions(+25 C/-25 C). Inner dimensions refrigerators are the same as those of a standard Euro truck (Length 13.6 m, width 2.45 m, height 2.40 m - 2.70 m), loading only rear.

The refrigerated semi-trailer holds 33 euro pallets, the dimensions can be found in the packaging section. Many of these semi-trailers are equipped with hooks for transporting meat carcasses. Very often refrigerators have to work with overloads, transport 25-30 tons. There are also refrigerators for the delivery of less bulky goods, from 1 ton to 15 tons, the freezing characteristics are the same as those of a large refrigerator (20 tons 82 cubic meters). Small refrigerators are convenient for delivering products between stores, warehouses, around the city and region. Often, the customer orders the delivery of his cargo individually and over long distances, with a small volume, for us the customer is always right, we deliver the cargo individually.

Machines 10-15 tons 30-70 cu.

Machines 10 tons 36 cubic meters, 10 tons 40 cubic meters, 10 tons 45 cubic meters, 10 tons 50 cubic meters, 10 tons 60 cubic meters. and so on, you can list for a very long time the characteristics of this type of car, they are very different, unlike euro trucks. As a rule, such vehicles are used only for the delivery of goods in Russia, for cargo transportation in Moscow and the region, in rare cases for cargo transportation to the CIS countries, for cargo transportation to Europe, such machines are not used.

Ten-ton trucks, as they are called in their dispatcher slang, are very convenient for delivering products around the city and region. They are used to transport Construction Materials, equipment, mixtures for construction (in bags, on pallets), many machines are equipped with a tail lift. Cars with a tail lift are convenient for companies that do not have an electric car or a forklift. When the car has a tail lift, then during loading, it lowers it to the ground, people with a rokla bring this or that cargo on the ground to the car, on a pallet or just equipment, roll up a tail lift lying on the ground, the driver raises the load to the level of the body (the whole procedure can be viewed here), and when the load has already been raised to the level of the body, it is rolled into the body and placed in the van. As a rule, the dimensions of machines of this type vary greatly, the only thing that remains is the width - 2.45 m for the convenience of transporting two euro pallets 1.2 m + 1.2 m long, height and length in the range - from 1.9 m to 3.05 m, and length from 5.3 m to 10 m, sometimes there are 10 tons of 12 m in length, such machines are usually used to transport something light and voluminous, for example, diapers, foam plastic, cotton wool and etc. To order the delivery of goods in 10 tonics of any volume, you can contact our operator.



Machines 5 tons 40 cu.

Five-ton trucks are mainly intended for cargo transportation over short distances, they are very convenient for transporting goods between warehouses, shops located not far from each other, for moving from apartment to apartment, for moving from a summer residence, from office to office. Five-ton trucks, unlike trucks, do not wind large kilometers, they are not often sent for long distances (3-5 thousand km), mainly by individual order. For example, the customer would like his cargo to be sent not as a groupage along with some kind of cargo, but separately, therefore, if the customer does not have a limit on money, the company sends his cargo individually with a five-ton truck. A very large part of the 5-ton machines in Russia are in private hands, i.e. the driver himself is the owner.

The dimensions of vans, sides, tarpaulins, refrigerated huts are very different, the standard of course is 6 m x 2.45 m x 2.40 m (L x W x H). 36 cubic meters - often, such machines with a tail lift are very convenient for small customer companies, for example, if the organization does not have a loader, an electric car, then the tail lift can raise / lower up to 2 tons. Also, such machines are convenient for delivery to exhibitions, in order to lower / raise exhibition equipment. The cubic capacity of such machines is from 20 to 60 cubic meters. Recall the cubic capacity of the vehicle varies due to the height, length, width, as a rule, is 2.45 m, in rare cases, it changes only in minus, from 2 m to 2.45 m. . on pillows instead of springs, unlike before, the cargo is now delivered in more comfortable conditions. The picture shows five-ton trucks - ZIL, and Mercedes, there are also models: Kamaz, Maz, Daf, Man, Volvo, Iveco, Isuzu, Toyota, Mitsubishi, etc. Our company prefers imported vehicles for the delivery of goods to the client.



Machines 3 tons 16-36 cu.

Three-ton trucks are very practical for cargo transportation around the city and for the delivery of goods not over long distances, they are convenient for working in the city center, where it is very difficult for large-ton vehicles to pass oncoming traffic, with vehicles that, as a rule, are parked in the city center on every stretch of the roadway . Three-ton trucks are nimble and comfortable, they do not take up much space on the roadway.

The dimensions of such vehicles vary: width from 1.8 m to 2.4 m, height from 1.7 m to 2.5 m, length from 3 m to 6.5 m. Brands of vehicles representing this type of transport are: ZIL (goby), GAZ (Valdai), Mercedes Sprinter, Volkswagen Crafter, Ford, Iveco, Mitsubishi, etc.

Body types: van, awning, board (open), refrigerator, thermo-kung, board with a pyramid (for transporting glass), tow truck (for evacuation passenger cars mobiles). Also, on an individual order, it is possible to provide a three-ton truck with a tail lift, a three-ton truck with an upper side tent, designed for ease of loading and unloading.

Cars 1-2 tons (tarpaulin, van, refrigerator) 8-20 cu.

Cars weighing 1-2 tons, the most popular, the most in demand in the field of cargo transportation in the city and in Moscow, as well as in the field of cargo delivery in the Moscow region.

A few years ago, the delivery of goods in Moscow was carried out by gazelles, now they have begun to be replaced by foreign-made vehicles, such as: Peugeot Boxer, Citroen, Fiat Ducato, Nissan, Renault, Mercedes, Volkswagen, etc. The company "TransServiceTorg" also has in its fleet vehicles with a carrying capacity of up to 2 tons of foreign production, meaning the transportation of goods by Gazelles. We mean the delivery of goods by cars similar to Gazelles, only foreign cars, although one cannot do without Gazelles.

The dimensions of the vans (tarpaulin bodies) are also diverse, according to your desire, the most suitable for transportation suitable car. Also, if necessary, the car can be tilted for loading from the side or from above. The width of the van is from 1.6 m to 2.2 m, the height is from 1.7 m to 2.5 m, the length is from 2.5 m to 5 m. Machines 1.5 tons van, practiced at home, office, summer cottages for the transportation of small cargo from warehouse to warehouse, for the delivery of small cargo from our customers to their contractors, etc. Within our company, these machines are used to collect groupage cargo from the client's location to our warehouse, or cargo brought from the warehouse to the client's location.


Description




According to their main consumer qualities (tonnage, volume, overall dimensions), Gazelle class vehicles include various models domestic and imported trucks. The cargo compartments of these vehicles may vary slightly in overall dimensions and, accordingly, volumes. Happen both with tentovanny, and with an all-metal body. Top, side, rear loading is possible for awnings.

Approximate characteristics of the cargo compartment of Gazelle class vehicles:
Length: 2.8 - 3.2 m (there are elongated options up to 4.5 m)
Width: 1.8 - 1.9 m
Height: 1.7 - 2 m
Volume: 9 - 14 m3
Load capacity: 1.5 - 1.7 tons

Cars of this class are actively used on intracity and intercity routes of short and medium range (500-700 km). Specifications make it possible to guarantee a sufficiently high average speed(up to 100 km/h) and the cabin layout provides space for one or two passengers (forwarders).

The tented version of the cargo compartment suggests the possibility of tenting and getting an open cargo compartment. The vehicle may be equipped with lashing straps and other additional equipment(lift, hard sides).

According to their main consumer qualities (tonnage, volume, overall dimensions), various models of domestic and imported trucks can be attributed to cars of the ZIL-Bychok class. The cargo compartments of these vehicles may vary slightly in overall dimensions and, accordingly, volumes. Happen both with tentovanny, and with an all-metal body. Top, side, rear loading is possible for awnings.

Approximate characteristics of the cargo compartment of ZIL-Bychok class cars:

Length: 3.7 - 4.2 m
Width: 2.1 - 2.4 m
Height: 2.2 - 2.5 m
Volume: 17 - 25 m3
Load capacity: 3.5 tons

Cars of this class are actively used on intracity and intercity routes of short and medium range (500-700 km). Technical characteristics allow to guarantee a sufficiently high average speed (up to 80 km / h.) A small axle load allows this car to drive freely in territories with entry restrictions trucks

According to their main consumer qualities (tonnage, volume, overall dimensions), various models of domestic and imported trucks can be attributed to cars of the 5-7 ton class. The cargo compartments of these vehicles may vary slightly in overall dimensions and, accordingly, volumes. Both with tentovanny and with an all-metal body. Top, side, rear loading is possible for awnings.

Approximate characteristics of the cargo compartment of cars of the 5-7-ton class:

Length: 3.5 - 5 m
Width: 2 - 2.3 m
Height: 2.45 - 2.70 m
Volume: 15 - 30 m3
Load capacity: 5 - 7.5 tons

Cars of this class are actively used on intracity and intercity routes of short and medium range (500-700 km). Often used for transportation of personal items, moving.

To class 10 tons of cars can be attributed various cars domestic and imported production, both with a tent and with an all-metal body. Top, side, rear loading is possible for awnings.

The class can be divided into several subclasses:
o Cars with a carrying capacity of up to 10 tons with a body volume of up to 56 m3.
o Vehicles with a carrying capacity of up to 15 tons with a volumetric (50-65 m3) and long body(up to 8m).

Approximate characteristics of the cargo compartment of a car with a carrying capacity of 10-15 tons:

Length: 5.0 - 8.0 m
Width: 2.4 - 2.5 m
Height: 1.8 - 3.0 m
Volume: 35 - 65 m3
Load capacity: 10 - 15 tons

Imported truck models can be equipped with air suspension, which significantly improves the smoothness of the ride and ensures better safety of the easily breakable cargo. Cars can be equipped with an elevator.

A 20-ton truck is a conventional concept denoting a truck with a semi-trailer having overall dimensions close to the specified characteristics. In the eurotruck, as the eurotent is otherwise called, it fits across the width of 2 europallets 120 cm long each. There are both with tentovanny and with an all-metal body. Top, side, rear loading is possible for awnings.

Overall dimensions of a 20-ton trailer:

Length: 12.5 - 13.6 m
Width: 2.45 m
Height: 2.45 - 2.90 m
Volume: 82 - 98 m3
Load capacity: 20 - 22 tons

There are a large number of modifications of semi-trailers, among which there are semi-trailers with a volume of 76 - 78 m3 - with a shorter length (12.5 - 13 m) and semi-trailers with a standard or greater length, width and height (13.6 - 15 m; 2 .5 m; 2.7 m).

The design of the semi-trailer allows you to remove the tarpaulin and thus makes it possible to load / unload from the side or from above. In addition, a semi-trailer without an awning allows you to use the semi-trailer as open area with side heights from 35 to 50 cm.

Hi all! I am back in touch and today I will tell you how to determine the carrying capacity of a vehicle using TCP.

For some, this question may seem unimportant, but this is only for those who have not yet encountered serious problems that may arise from the vehicle weight data printed in the TCP (vehicle passport).

After all, the lion's share of car owners use it not just as a means for personal movement, and more fully - for the transportation of various goods, including the dense filling of cars with passengers.

But in the automotive legislation, even for cars and vehicles close to them (TC), many restrictions are prescribed in this regard. And violation of such rules is punishable by very significant fines. And what to do if you are sure that the data on the carrying capacity in your vehicle do not correspond to reality, and the traffic police punish you in vain?

You will find the answer to this and other similar questions in this publication.

The Importance of the Load Capacity Parameter

In order to further understand everything to absolutely everyone, I will give basic information related to our question. In general, these data are mostly included in the mandatory program of theoretical training before obtaining a license ( driving license- VU). But most drivers remember this section vaguely (if it was studied at all in fact, and not on a tick), and because of this, they often get confused in the terminology associated with carrying capacity.

Not considered a full seat

On the other hand, this carrying capacity itself, as such, in the case of passenger vehicles, is far from being of interest to car owners in the first place. Most of the questions are caused by its price, "gluttony", speed qualities, etc. indicators.

But exactly weight characteristics just determine most of the popular basic qualities of a car. This has long been used by automakers as one of the fundamental principles in the evolution of branded models, and they, by now, have lost a lot of weight.

By the way, this was not always the case: at the beginning of the second half of the twentieth century. heavy light vehicles was in favor. As an example, I can cite the famous Cadillac Eldorado, which reached a weight of almost three tons: shock:, in its modification V8.2 in 1970.

Step two: determining the curb and maximum weight of the car

After you have decided on the class of the car, look at the data in the paragraphs in front of the column indicating the manufacturer - usually these paragraphs follow Nos. 14 and 15.

They indicate:

  • Column No. 14 - "permitted maximum weight, kg";
  • Column No. 15 - "mass without load, kg."

This will be your initial data for determining the carrying capacity.

Step three: determining the carrying capacity of the car

First of all, you should know that for all vehicles there are two types of their carrying capacity. Yes, a couple more terms, where without it.

These terms are as follows:

  • Estimated load capacity;
  • Rated load capacity.

We need exactly the estimated load capacity. At par, I'll say a few words below. If there are no inaccuracies and inconsistencies with the data in the TCP for the machine, then it is very simple to get the estimated load capacity:

  • From permitted maximum weight the unloaded mass is subtracted, and the resulting value will be the design load capacity.

But in fact, rarely any of the motorists does not violate these recommendations, and drivers often boast that they carried, they say, such and such loads, exceeding so much, and at least henna for the car.

What can be said here?

Both manufacturers and motorists are right. And the point here is just in the same nominal load capacity already mentioned. It is quite difficult to accurately determine it, but this is not required: it is enough to know that for passenger cars it directly depends on the quality pavement- the smoother the asphalt and the road itself, the more cargo can be transported without problems, consider this. For some models cars, for example, a similar excess can reach 14 tons payload (!).

I warn you right away: this does not apply to VAZs! Otherwise, for joy, you will load your “iron horse” with potatoes so that it will “ache” for a long and expensive time.

But what if you, for example, which, according to all calculations, is a passenger car, but at the customs office in the TCP, mistakenly recorded it as a cargo one, but you don’t want to?

If you are sure that you are right, then you need to contact the traffic police so that they send the car for technical expertise to determine the equipped load capacity. In the laboratory, on a special dynamic stand, high-precision strain gauges will measure axial loads in motion (at speeds up to 5 km / h) and calculate the true curb weight.

If it differs from the one prescribed in the TCP in the direction you need, then with the conclusion of the laboratory tests, go back to the traffic police, where you will be with the specified load capacity and class.

This can be useful not only for a fairer calculation transport tax, but also for the trouble-free transportation of more cargo without the risk of running into a fine in other cases, when a guarded carrying capacity limit is set for traveling somewhere (or for something).

  • Not all regional motorists are aware that the free entry of vehicles with a carrying capacity exceeding one ton is prohibited in the central part of Moscow (within the Third Transport Ring). The matter is further complicated by the fact that automatic video recording of violations is connected here, which makes mistakes much more often than customs officers in relation to pickups and minivans.
  • Be aware that authorities sometimes determine the number of full seats by the number of seat belts.
