Typical commercial US dump trucks are double-axle dually setups carrying about 10 cubic yards of material, which is about 10 short tons for typical materials like gravel or soil. A big, heavy-duty triple-axle model might reach 15 tons. A single-axle model based on a passenger truck might only hold 3 tons. A side-dump semi trailer might hold 30 tons.
In terms of capacity, Kuehnast acknowledges the limitations of a side dump. Given its higher sides, a 36-foot end dump can carry as much as 36 cubic yards, while Jetâs same length of side dump typically handles only 23. Side dumps, however, bring better stability, stronger construction and reduced cost, when compared with aluminum end dumps.
