RE: To give scale to the amount of Spod to be moved.17 Nov 2025 13:47
I think someone did find some 60 tonne payload trailers.
I don't know what the laws are there. Here they are very strict the payload includes occupants in the cab, they are weighed with the load.
Here different trailers are different weights too, so the amount they carry also varies as everything has to fall under a gross vehicle weight.
Here is further complicated by maximum axle weights so if you can't get the maximum payload into the trailer without overloading an axle then the payload is reduced.
Trailers are generally multi purpose and built for the main material they would originally carry, not necessarily perfect for the material being carried.
