How much weight can a Freightliner M2 haul?
How much weight can a Freightliner M2 haul?
I plan to build a "dungeon" with lots of traps. I have about 5.5 acres and I'm thinking of building something resembling this dungeon in about an acre of level land:
So I was wondering how much freightliner m2 would be able to haul the area and contents of the dungeon? This isn't anything I really care about, but I'm curious about what will happen. Will there be any issues? What kind of weight should I allow for the first truck, considering I'll need to do a "double drop" as shown below (there's really no way around it - the dungeon is too long to build over a long straightaway): I have a pretty good idea on the height of the ramp I want to use. It's about 3 feet off the ground when installed and 4ft off the ground if uninstalled. I just can't tell yet how much the ramp weighs. I'm leaning towards 1 ton because that seems like a fair amount and it's about a third of the overall truck weight limit of 7 tons.
I don't plan on hauling over 2 miles in a single run or anything. If the weight limits are even close to being realistic it's fine by me. It will just take a lot of work.
That's all fine. But I would also like to know the size of the dungeon. I would make it about 3x3x5.5 acres in size and 6x6x5.5 feet tall for the dungeon entrance. The entire area for dungeon contents would be another 13x13x4.5 foot area, making 26.5 by 14 foot by 20 inch area. In the center, where there's not much room for a pitfall trap and where the dragon wouldn't find it funny if he stepped one accidentally, there'd be a small (2x2) square space at the floor. In it, the dragon could find various things for his amusement. I'll do them up one of those "funny dragon puzzles" as shown below (the one with the spikes on the side, from the new "dragon puzzle" expansion).
So for the entrance, the exit, and the dungeons center, a total of roughly 17 feet of length will be made in the front yard of my town. My concern is more so with what the rest of the dungeon weighs than the "entrance stuff.
What is the payload of the Freightliner M2 106?
The Freightliner M2 106 is a large truck (measuring 6.1m length, 3.5m width and 1.4m height) with a gross vehicle weight of 6.5 tons. The payload of the Freightliner M2 106 is 810 kg (1,767 lbs), which means that it can carry loads up to a maximum of 810 kg (1,767 lbs). However, the maximum load it can carry is based on the weight of the vehicle itself (1,500 kg - 2,500 kg). The Freightliner M2 106 has a maximum cargo volume of 7,200 litres (1,850 cu ft).
In comparison to other large trucks, the Freightliner M2 106 has a large payload (810 kg or 1,767 lbs), making it suitable for cargo transport, but its cargo capacity is limited (7,200 litres or 1,850 cu ft).
How much can a M2 106 tow?
Is it a real M2? It's a good idea to add some mods before I mess with it that much. How much can the car be modified?
Re: ? I'm not an expert on the M2, but I know the M2 106 is rated at 2.5 x 4 tires (with a 2.5:1 lift). The M2 106 with stock wheels is rated at 3 x 4s, but that's with the stock wheels and stock suspension.
A lot more than a M2 M3. I have seen them go over 600lb. For the money you can get a more powerful E36 which will do the same or a C63 AMG which will out do the E46 M3 in acceleration.
I have been running mine for about a year now and I have had to drop the weight down to around 800lb. I would not recommend any more modifications. If you think you need more power then just go for it. I know people have gone as far as putting turbo kit on their M2s but the extra power is a waste of time in the short term.
Yeah, I am very interested in the M2 but this is getting too much for me right now. Too many other projects to work on. I still want one though!
Thanks. Yeah, I agree. I want it as a project car, I have had my eyes on a BMW Z4/M3 or even an old E46 with the upgraded M3 brakes.
The M2 isn't a "real" M3, but it's a damn fine BMW. The M3 is considered a "real" M3 if it has a VIN ending in 7 or 8.
Just curious, does anyone have any photos of the M2 and M3 on the dyno?
What is the towing capacity of a freightliner?
The towing capacity of a freightliner is measured in GT (gross tonnage). The actual towing capacity of a freightliner is calculated by adding the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, Gross Axle Weight Rating and Gross Tare Weight Rating. The GVW (gross vehicle weight) is the maximum total weight of the vehicle including the load and the trailer (which has a weight rating). The Axle Weight is the maximum weight of the axles and wheels including the weight of the tires and wheel axles, without including the weight of the body. The Tare Weight is the weight of empty or fully loaded freightliner including load weight.
What is a trailer? A trailer is a vehicle used to transport cargo in a train, such as a railroad car, truck, flatbed, dumper or other equipment that can be attached to a railcar. Railcar trailer couplers connect the railcar to the trailer. Freightliners that are pulled by railcars have a GVW that is determined by the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the trailer.
If a freightliner is not pulling a trailer, the GVW of the freightliner is determined by the GVW of the railcar (usually 40-50 tons), plus the added weight of the box cars or container cars (usually 8-15 tons). The GVW of a freightliner pulling a trailer may be greater than the GVW of the railcar.
What is a boxcar? A boxcar is a railroad freightcar that has one end open, the other end closed, and sometimes both ends covered. The boxcar may have a platform at one end or both ends may be open with no floor. A boxcar is a railcar that is only used to haul freight in a train. Boxcars are generally 40-60 feet long.
If a freightliner is not pulling a boxcar, the GVW of the freightliner is determined by the GVW of the railcar (usually 40-50 tons), plus the added weight of the container cars or trailer cars (usually 8-15 tons). The GVW of a freightliner pulling a boxcar may be greater than the GVW of the railcar.
What is a container? A container is a freightliner that has a closed end.
