Truck type selection/Advance cargo declaration formats
|
Road restrictions decide the type of truck which can load the cargo to move between two distances/states ex. maharastra to silvassa/vapi in gujarat etc...
20' container weight is aprr. 2200 kgs/tank container 20' and 40' normal cont. is 4400 kgs while flat rack containers 40' is 5500 kgs.
Empty truck weight is also added to this tare weight of container and the gross weight of cargo to arrive at the correct truck selection. ex. a 20' normal container requirement will be as under
a. cont wt. 2200 kgs +
b. truck own wt. 9000 kgs or 11000 kgs depending on plain skeleton chassis or steel chassis.+
c. gross wt. of cargo say 22000 kgs.
total 2200+11000+22000 =33200 kgs.
Four type of container trucks are available in market currently.
a. upto gr.wt. 26200 kgs
b. upto gr. wt 35200 kgs
c. upto gr wt 40200 kgs
d. volvo upto 55000 kgs.
So in the above discussed sample case, we have to take truck type (b) to avoid material seizure at gujarat or other checkpost. Fine on excess loading if type (a) truck is used will be 33200-26200=7000-00 kgs , so rs. 7000-00 plus 7000 kgs will be offloaded on road to be moved in another truck which will have to go all the way to the checkpost empty from mumbai.
