Tractor and trailer weights

my volvo 780 full tanks (240 gl) d12 autoshift 3 axle scales out at 20,300

 

That is why we called them boat anchors

 

I always thought dry vans were in the 13K pound range and reefers at 15K. This is an interesting thread and please keep her going.

In the mid 60's I drove an LR Mack with a winch and 90,000 lbs rear ends and it weighed 35,000 lbs. the lowbed that i pulled with it was a 16 wheeler that weighed 48,000 lbs. and was rated at 100 ton cvapacity. Total of 83,000 lbs empty.

 

ya it's a boat anchor i can only have 45.500 in the box but thats better than the 09 pro star we had that couldn't have 44k in the box and be under 80K

had a load and we were 80,800 in the pro star with full tanks so they repowered the load to a pete also with full tanks and on the same scale with that same trailer he was 1,700 lighter.

 

i find this trailer Hyundai 53x102 modell eco trl,12720 pds with standart dual wheels and tires,(with ss tires 400 pds more lees weight)

 

here the strick lightweighttrl 53x102 with aluminiumfloor only 11400 pds

 

90,000 lb rear ends?

 

I'm guessing planetary axles, very common in the oil patch up here.

 

2007 volvo 780 with a 53' reefer can still haul 45500.
