A truck load weight calculator helps you estimate the weight of material loaded onto a truck based on the truck bed dimensions, load height, and material density. This is useful for construction, farming, landscaping, and transportation industries to prevent overloading and comply with legal limits.

Truck Load Weight Calculation Formulas

Step 1: Calculate Load Volume

V=L×W×HV = L \times W \times HV=L×W×H

Where:

  • LLL = length of truck bed (ft or m)
  • WWW = width of truck bed (ft or m)
  • HHH = load height (ft or m)

Step 2: Calculate Load Weight

Wload=V×ρW_{\text{load}} = V \times \rhoWload​=V×ρ

Where:

  • ρ\rhoρ = material density (lb/ft³ or kg/m³)

Step 3: Convert Load Weight to Tons

US Tons:

TUS=Wlb2000T_{\text{US}} = \frac{W_{\text{lb}}}{2000}TUS​=2000Wlb​​

Metric Tonnes:

Tmetric=Wkg1000T_{\text{metric}} = \frac{W_{\text{kg}}}{1000}Tmetric​=1000Wkg​​

Example Calculation

Given:

  • Truck Bed Length = 14 ft
  • Truck Bed Width = 6 ft
  • Load Height = 4 ft
  • Material Density = 100 lb/ft³

Step 1: Volume

V=14×6×4=336 ft3V = 14 \times 6 \times 4 = 336 \ \text{ft}^3V=14×6×4=336 ft3

Step 2: Load Weight

Wload=336×100=33,600 lbW_{\text{load}} = 336 \times 100 = 33,600 \ \text{lb}Wload​=336×100=33,600 lb

Step 3: Convert to US Tons

TUS=33,6002000=16.8 tonsT_{\text{US}} = \frac{33,600}{2000} = 16.8 \ \text{tons}TUS​=200033,600​=16.8 tons

Final Answer:

  • Volume: 336 ft³
  • Load Weight: 33,600 lb
  • Load Weight: 16.8 US tons
