The maximum load capacity of a 53-foot tri-axle semi-trailer typically ranges from 40,000 to 50,000 pounds, depending on the trailer's design and construction. It's important to consider the trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the weight limits set by federal and state regulations. Always check specific manufacturer specifications and local regulations to determine the exact capacity for a particular trailer.
You call it a semi because it pulls a semi trailer.A semi is a type of trailer. A semi-trailer, as opposed to a full trailer, means it only has axles at the rear of the trailer and a full trailer has axles at the front and rear of the trailer. We call these in the UK "drags", as in wagon and drag, where the wagon that pulls the drag can carry a load on its own, whereas the semi-trailer truck, or tractor unit cannot carry anything without a trailer.
The interior dimensions of a 53' semi trailer is 52 feet in length and 99 inches in width. The capacity is 4050 cubic feet.
They come in two main widths of 96 inches and 102 inches.
The load on the king pin on a semi trailer can be calculated by weighing the vehicle. When weighing the vehicle on a certified scale, the steers (front tires), drives (the two axles on the semi cab) and the tandems (the two axles on the trailer) are all weighed separately as a part of the whole weight. The king pin weight is the weight of the drives.
Assuming you're referring to a 53' semi trailer, 41,000 - 43,000 lbs. for an 80k combination is typical.
Up to the maximum legal limit for the type and jurisdiction it is operating.
Maximum non permitted width is 102" or 8 1/2 feet.
Depends on the type and size of the rig, but a typical tractor weighs 15,000# and a 53' enclosed van trailer weighs about 13,000#, for a total of 28,000 lbs. Most US highways have an 80,000 pound weight limit, so the load capacity or maximum net weight of a typical tractor-trailer is 52,000 lbs.
