How Much Can a Truck Carry? Common Questions Answered!

Are you planning to buy a truck and wondering how much it can carry? This is a common question for many people, especially those new to trucks. This article will answer this question in detail and provide you with other helpful information about payload and transportation regulations in Vietnam.

Truck Load Capacity: Choosing the Right Truck for Your Needs

Actually, the question “how much can a truck carry?” isn’t quite accurate. The ability of a truck to carry goods is determined by its payload, not the number of axles (“cầu”). Payload is the weight of cargo allowed on a truck, clearly stated in the vehicle registration and depends on several factors:

• Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW): Each truck model has an allowed GVW. For example, the Hyundai H150 truck has a GVW of 3.5 tons.
• Number of Axles: The more axles a truck has, the greater its load capacity. Trucks can have 2, 3, 4, or more axles.
• Axle Configuration: Truck axles can be single or double. Double axles have a higher load capacity than single axles.

To choose the right truck, you need to clearly define your needs and the payload you need to transport.

For example, Mr. Minh in Long Bien District, Hanoi wants to buy a truck to carry construction materials. He needs to carry about 2 tons of goods per trip. Mr. Minh should choose a truck with a GVW of around 3.5 tons, such as the Hyundai H150 or Thaco Towner 990.
