Ohio weight laws dump truck

Don't know Ohio but a pusher, or a tag is about 6k installed. Duralift1120k.
Get you about 20k on axle spaced correctly, and proper tire size.
Look up Vander Haags, they have used stuff!
So do want a pusher ( front of tandem), or tag rear of tandems?
Steerable or not.

 

They both come in steerable. So pusher it is.

 

You did not state if your current dump is a twin screw or not. If you have the axle, and tires, its 800lbs per inch width for tires in Ohio, a float front with a twin screw would be good for 54,000 gross if it has the bridge. If you have room for a 20K pusher, that would allow 47,000 on a short tridem. 67,000 gross if you have the bridge. Ohio uses the federal guide lines from bridge. You can look that chart up and see where you stand. If your dump is short, might be better off with a 13,600 steerable up front. You almost need a big box to get big weights. I believe the formula is; W=500[LN divided by N-1 +12N +36]. W=overall gross, N= number of axles in the group, and L= bridge distance per group. twin axles 4'-8' are 34,000 lbs, 8'2" will get you 36,000, 9 " 39,000 and 10'1 40,000 lbs. Triples will be 10' for 43,500, 11 for 44,000, 12 for 45,000 and to get the 47,000 you will need to be spaced 15' or better for the interstate. Ohio lets you have the 47 at 8'2 but I do not believe that includes the interstate. need 36' over all to get to 67,000 on the interstate. I gave $4950 for my link steerable from Vander Haags.

I have a 2007 Columbia daycab with a wheelbase of 171" and a 31 foot belt trailer, 3 axles on the truck and 2 on the trailer. From the center of the steer axle to very back trailer axle is 450". I'm curious to know about bridge laws for this short trailer. I'm about 32,000 lbs empty.

If you have a scale shack nearby, drive over, park, go inside, and ask.

 

I think most DMV’s have the bridge law books or pamphlets for that state.
