The volume that a dump truck can hold depends on the size of the truck. You could say that there is no 'typical' dump truck. The horsepower, the axle weight, and the size of the box are a few of the features that determine how much the truck can hold and haul.
No way of answering the question without knowing which model Ford you had in mind.
Legally, on a 26,000 GVW registered vehicle, usually five or six. On a 33,000 GVW registered vehicle, perhaps eight to ten.
14,000 - 16,000 lbs., depending on specifics.
They exist. Can be anything from a Class 1 (0 - 5000 lb. GVWR) to Class 8 (GVW of more than 33,000 lbs.) truck.
Please tell me you're not an owner/op who doesn't know this. Your manufacturer's GVW is going to be the combined weight ratings of the tandem and steer axles. If you have 40k rears and an 18k steer, you have a manufacturer's GVW of 58k - your pushers are aftermarket, and are not counted in the manufacturer's GVW. As for legal GVW, that depends on bridge law formula, and what your state's disposition is on primary and secondary roads. The last dump truck I drove was a tandem axle T800. I could gross 54k on secondary roads, but only 51.5k on the Interstate.
GVW is gross vehicle weight which is different than GCWR (gross combination weight rating). Pulling a trailer weighing 10 tons should not cause you any problems. However I am assuming you have your dump tagged at a little less than 55,000 to avoid paying heavy use tax. Even if this is not the case and you have tagged it for a heaver weight be aware that pulling that trailer while dump and trailer are loaded may put yousignificantly over your tagged weight. Just watch your gross weight or you can re-tag your dump for 80,000. When GCWR is not available on the power unit DOT will add the GVW for the dump and the trailer to get a GCW (gross combination weight).
Need to know the exact model and configuration in order to answer this. A 26k GVW box truck and a 33K dump truck aren't going to have the same tare weight.
Legally, as much as it's rated for. The legal GVW of a dump truck depends on configuration, local law, wheelbase, and other factors. For a tandem axle dump truck, they can typically legally carry between 13 and 15 tons.
Well, It depends on the truck. There is a sticker inside the the drivers door that wll tell you the GVWR. each truck is different in the apect of what they were, e.g. Tow Truck, Dump Truck etc. The 1973 F350 own Is a Custom and the GVWR is 10,000#.
GVW means Gross Vehicle Weight. That's the maximum permissible weight of the truck plus the trailer (in the case of a combination rig) plus the load. Therefore...if you take your dump truck, hook a 20,000-lb empty trailer to it and put a 25,000-lb backhoe on the trailer, the truck needs to weigh less than 25,000 lbs if you want to remain legal.
