TTI HS-20 allowed shorter trucks to have higher weight limits than Formula B. For a 3-axle truck with an axle length of 14 feet (4.3 m), the weight limit increased from 46,500 pounds (21,100 kg) to 54,000 pounds (24,000 kg). [29] TTI HS-20 also failed to address the problem of multiple-span bridges. [28]
The RM 22/M1076 is a three-axle dolly-type trailer. It uses a mainframe assembled using electric welding, with a secondary frame supporting the front axle on a turning table and the drawbar; a steering lock allows the steering to be fixed when required. Two axles are provided at the rear and braking is on all three axles.
The tracks are entirely grade-separated and have a generous loading gauge of 3,660 mm (12 ft 1 ⁄ 8 in) width and 7,100 mm (23 ft 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) maximum height allowing for the double-stacked shipping container on flatcars to be transported, in contrast to wellcars used in other countries for double-stack rail transport.

Efficiency and productivity of the goods' packaging can be improved in truckload shipping. Compared to less-than-truckload, full truckload is cost-effective when weight is high. Full-truckload freight is faster than LTL because it is sent directly to the destination and does not make stops to pick up or drop off other cargo.
The legal weight limits will vary by jurisdiction but, for example, in the southern states of the US, they range from 80,000 to 88,000 pounds (36,300 to 39,900 kg)—about 40 short tons (35.7 long tons; 36.3 t). [8] To load the logs, the truck may be fitted with one or more winches or cranes. The logs are commonly unloaded by letting them roll ...
an axle load of more than 10 tonnes for a single non-driving axle and 11.5 tonnes for a single driving axle; a width of more than 2.9 metres; a rigid length of more than 18.65 metres; Anyone wishing to transport an abnormal load must notify the police, highway authorities and any on-route bridge and structure owners such as Network Rail.

Inflation is moderating, but economists expect that trend could reverse quickly if Donald Trump follows through with a proposal to impose 10%-20% tariffs on all imports and a 60% tariff on Chinese ...
This claimed to break two world records, one for the heaviest SPMT movement and another for most SPMT axle lines used for transportation. [16] In February 2023 Sinotrans Heavy-Lift a China based heavy transport company moved a hotel building 500 meters in Sanya, Hainan using 254 axle lines of Scheuerle SPMT with the help of 15 power packs. This ...
