Mass quantity for tipper trucks

Question

We use different size tipper trucks how do I find out what is the mass quantity they are allowed to carry according to road regulations of SA.

Answer

The mass allowed is determined by the axles (number of axles and number of tyres on each axle), the manufacturers rating, the weight rating on the tyres and the power of the vehicle.

It is not just a simple question. The maximum gross weight allowed is 56 tonnes - but there are provisos to this dependent on the above. We would need more information.
