How much can a dump truck and trailer carry?

A standard dump truck typically has a payload capacity ranging from 10 to 14 tons, while larger models can carry up to 16 tons or more. When paired with a trailer, the combined capacity can increase significantly, often reaching 20 to 30 tons or more, depending on the specific truck and trailer configuration. It's essential to consider local regulations and weight limits when calculating the total load. Always consult the manufacturer’s specifications for precise capacity details.
