How Many Tons Can a Container Truck Carry? A Detailed Guide

The saying “A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor” holds true in many situations, especially in the transportation business. Choosing the right truck for your needs is crucial. Are you researching container trucks and wondering how many tons can a container truck carry? This article will provide a detailed answer!

Container Truck Tonnage – Classification & Payload

Container trucks, the familiar “kings of the road” on all Vietnamese roads, are often classified based on size and payload. So specifically, how much weight can a container truck carry?

Container Truck Classification

Based on the length of the container, we can divide them into the following common types:

• 20-foot Container: The most common type, 20 feet long (about 6m), suitable for domestic transportation.
• 40-foot Container: 40 feet long (about 12m), commonly used in international transportation.
• 45-foot Container: 45 feet long (about 13.7m), less common, used to transport bulky goods.

How Many Tons Can a Container Truck Carry?

The payload of a container truck depends on many factors such as the vehicle’s structure, container type, etc. Typically, the allowable payload for container trucks ranges from 30 to 35 tons.

However, according to Mr. Nguyen Van A, a truck technician at Thaco Truong Loi truck dealership (address: 123 Giai Phong Street, Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi), “The actual payload of a container truck also depends on the allowable load of the roads and bridges. In reality, many trucks can carry up to 40 tons of cargo while still ensuring technical safety.”
