If you want three US tons, it would be 6,000 lbs. If you are looking for the British ton, it is 6,720 lbs. Lastly, the Metric Ton (in countries other than the US, simply called a Tonne) is 6,613.86 US lbs., approximately.

The US ton is called the Short Ton and is 2,000 US lbs per ton. The British ton in called the Long Ton and is 2,240 US lbs. Both are based on what is called the hundredweight, but the US follows 100 lbs. per hundredweight while Briton, oddly enough, says a hundredweight is 112 lbs. The Metric Ton is 1,000 kg and thusly not based on the hundredweight system but is about 2,204.62 US lbs.
