How many cube on artic

[Chopperbob]

Hi

As a guide how many cubic metres of wood still in the round 3m lengths would you expect to get on an artic. Saying it fills up with wood before it fills up with weight.

Thanks

one golden rule if you buy fraser fur ,dont every 24 ton 9 to 8 ton is water

I spose what I'm trying to say, is how many cubic metres unprocessed does an artic hold.

I'm guessing you're asking what a timber carrying with self loading grab type wagon can hold - not some container or curtain sider type truck??

 

Depends on what the diameter of the wood is too....

 

We get processor sized wood in - we stipulated no diameters bigger than 12inches, but we give a little lee way for the base of the trunks only...

 

The truck we get in usually has on 25/26ton, and I think that works out at 'about' mid to high 30's cubes...

 

But I could - or more like, will be wrong.......

25 ton. fresh spruce around 27 cubic metres

dry timber could be 35 metres or more

Yes a self loading timber wagon.....probably taking processor size stuff.

so if the wood was light and the lorry was full to capacity ( but under its 26t)

Quite a few variants of m3 by the looks of it depending on how wet the wood is arriving then...?

Wet makes a huge difference.
