Pipe Load Chart - Standard U.S.

Truck Load
The chart below is a guide when determining the number of pieces of pipe that will fit on a truck.
This is based on standard U.S. truck size.
These numbers are based on using a max weight fit of 45,000 lbs., load width: ~102"w x ~102"h, and weight based on 40' lengths pipe.
