How many tons can the Xinjiang highway carry?

The number of tons of Xinjiang expressway load limit mainly depends on the type of vehicle, as follows:

1. Two-axle vehicles with a total weight of more than 20 tons.

2. Three-axle vehicles, the total weight of the vehicle and cargo exceeds 30 tons (double-coupled axles are calculated as two axles, triple-coupled axles are calculated as three axles, the same below).

3. Four-axle vehicles with a total weight of more than 40 tons.

4. Five-axle vehicles with a total weight of more than 50 tons.

5. Vehicles with six axles or more, with a total weight of more than 55 tons.

6. Although the above five standards are not exceeded, the vehicle’s loading mass exceeds the loading mass approved by the driving license.

The transportation department is mainly responsible for investigating and handling the first to fifth situations, and the public security and traffic control department is mainly responsible for investigating and handling the sixth situation.

At the same time, the Ministry of Transport also has regulations on the loading dimensions of vehicle cargo:

1. The total height of the vehicle and cargo is more than 4 meters from the ground (the total height of the container vehicle and cargo is More than 4.2 meters from the ground).

2. The total length of the vehicle and cargo is more than 18 meters.

3. The total width of the vehicle and cargo is more than 2.5 meters. As long as there is one of these situations, the vehicle's outer dimensions exceed the limit.

New regulations in 2020 - Strictly implement the national unified identification standards for illegal overloading and overloading, and localities are not allowed to simplify publicity

The Ministry of Transport requires all localities to strictly follow the "Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Public Security's Regulations on the Management of Vehicles" The "Implementation Opinions on the Normalization and Institutionalization of Joint Law Enforcement for Over-limit and Overloading (Trial)" (Jiao Gongshu Fa [2017] No. 173) shall be implemented. It is strictly prohibited to increase or decrease the identification standards at will.

Among them, the total mass limit of a six-axle train with a 6×4 drive type is 49 tons, and a total mass limit of 46 tons with a 6×2 drive type. All localities must not simply treat trains with 6×4 drive type as 46 tons because they have not applied for ETC. They must not simplify publicity and appear with slogans such as "The maximum total mass of trucks is limited to 46 tons" to cause public misunderstanding.

For 3-axle, 4-axle trucks and 4-axle articulated trains whose drive axles have dual tires on each axle and each side and are equipped with air suspension, the total mass limit will be increased by 1 ton each.
