The deadweight of a tractor has an important impact on transportation efficiency and load capacity. The appropriate deadweight needs to take into account the purpose of the vehicle, regulatory restrictions and transportation needs. The following is relevant information:
Standards and regulations for deadweight of tractors
1.Weight range
The deadweight of a tractor varies depending on the model and configuration. Generally speaking, the deadweight of a common tractor is between 7.5 tons and 10 tons. For example, the deadweight of some lightweight tractors may be as low as 7.805 tons, while the deadweight of a heavy tractor may be close to 10 tons.
2.Regulatory restrictions
According to the "Regulations on the Management of Highways for Overloaded Transport Vehicles", the total weight of the tractor (deadweight + trailer weight) is clearly limited. For example:
The total weight of a three-axle tractor shall not exceed 25 tons.
The total weight of a tractor with six axles or more shall not exceed 49 tons.
These regulations limit the deadweight of the tractor and the load capacity of the trailer to ensure transportation safety.
Suitable self-weight selection
1.Lightweight tractors
Lightweight tractors (self-weight of about 7.5 tons to 8 tons) are suitable for transportation scenarios that require high load efficiency, such as long-distance logistics transportation. Lightweight design can increase the load capacity of the trailer while reducing fuel consumption.
2.Heavy-duty tractors
Heavy-duty tractors (self-weight of about 10 tons) are usually used in scenarios that require high load capacity and complex working conditions, such as mines, construction sites, etc. Although the self-weight is large, its structural strength and stability are stronger.
3.Regulations and practical applications
In practical applications, the self-weight of the tractor must meet regulatory requirements. For example, the self-weight of the tractor plus the weight of the trailer must not exceed the total mass limit specified by the regulations. For example, the self-weight of a three-axle tractor plus the weight of the trailer must not exceed 25 tons.
The self-weight selection of the tractor needs to take into account transportation needs, regulatory restrictions, and vehicle configuration. Lightweight tractors are suitable for scenarios with high load efficiency, while heavy-duty tractors are suitable for transportation with high load capacity and complex working conditions. When selecting, it is necessary to ensure that the total mass of the vehicle meets regulatory requirements to ensure transportation safety and efficiency.
