What is the capacity of a dump and pup truck?

Dump and pup truck capacities can vary depending on the specific make and model of the vehicle, as well as regional variations and regulations. However, here are typical capacity ranges for dump and pup trucks:

1. Dump Truck:

- Small Dump Truck: Typically ranges from 10 cubic yards (7.6 cubic meters) to 15 cubic yards (11.5 cubic meters).

- Medium Dump Truck: Can have a capacity of around 20 cubic yards (15.3 cubic meters) to 25 cubic yards (19 cubic meters).

- Large Dump Truck: Typically has a capacity of 30 cubic yards (23 cubic meters) or more.

2. Pup Truck:

- Pup trucks, also known as tag-along trailers or tag trailers, are typically smaller than dump trucks and have a lower capacity.

- Their capacity can range from 10 cubic yards (7.6 cubic meters) to 15 cubic yards (11.5 cubic meters), but some larger pup trucks can have capacities similar to small dump trucks.

It's important to note that these are just approximate ranges and the actual capacity of a dump or pup truck may vary based on factors such as the manufacturer, modifications, and regional variations. Additionally, the type of material being transported can influence the effective capacity due to factors like weight and compaction.
