Single Axle Dump Trucks: Will it haul?
Single axle dump trucks are the introductory type of dump truck models, typically truck cab with a customized bed in the rear. The truck bed is equipped with hydraulic powered ram, which lifts and dumps its contents off the truck.
The truck bed is commonly used to transport various loose materials such as salt, sand, and dirt to and from a job site. Single axle dumps come in various sizes, hauling capabilities and cab types – all to which suit various light to medium hauling classifications within urban settings where as tandem axle dump trucks are the next step up for heavy landfill hauling.
Single Axle Dump vs 1-Ton Dump – what's the difference?
One-ton dump trucks are the smaller type of single axle dump trucks, which typically feature a pickup truck cab with the dump bed in the rear. Since 1-ton dump trucks feature a pickup truck cab, they are generally smaller than the medium to heavy duty single axle dump trucks, thus making it easier for maneuvering within the city for smaller jobs.
Most landscaping companies within urban areas tend to lean towards 1-ton dump trucks so they tend to be synonymous with landscaping trucks. Another common place to find 1-ton dump trucks are on the farm, as they serve as cost effective alternatives to more expensive agricultural hauling equipment that share similar tasks.
Like pickup trucks, single axle dump trucks share the similar brands and models such as Ford, Chevy, Ram and more. You'll find very similar cab models, such as the F-350, F-450 and F-550 for Ford. Dodge Ram models include the Ram 3500, Ram 4500 and Ram 5500.
Do I need a CDL for Single Axle Truck?
Yes and no. The requirement for a CDL (Commercial Driving License) is dependent on a few things. First, it's important to check on local and state/provincial rules on what type of vehicle requires a CDL. Typically, the requirements for CDL revolves around the vehicles GVWR (gross vehicle weight restrictions) and if they are under 26,000 lbs. Most 1-ton dump trucks fall under that metric and some heavier duty models can go over.
Secondly, the CDL will be dependent on your line of work so it's important to remember that even if your single axle dump truck weighs less than 26,000 lbs., and you intend to have heavy payloads that will increase the GVWR to over 26,000 lbs., a CDL might be required depending on local or state/provincial requirements.
Single axle dump trucks vary in sizes and hauling capabilities, so when you're starting your search for the best single axle dump truck for you, the GVWR is the best place to start.
How much can a Single Axle Dump truck haul?
As described earlier, the different models of single axle dump trucks will determine your payload. Smaller or entry level landscaping dump trucks such as Ford F-350, RAM 3500 or Silverado 3500 HD have a payload capacity of up to 4 tons or 7,800 lbs. Larger commercial single axle dump trucks can have heavier payloads of up to 7.5 tons or 15,000 lbs. To calculate an estimated payload capacity, the curb weight of the truck should be subtracted from the GVWR, and then can be double-checked with the manufactures' model specifications to ensure the accuracy. Then you can haul away safely and within your local or state/provincial requirements.
