Best Answer

Typical commercial US dump trucks are double-axle dually setups carrying about 10 cubic yards of material, which is about 10 short tons for typical materials like gravel or soil.

A big, heavy-duty triple-axle model might reach 15 tons. A single-axle model based on a passenger truck might only hold 3 tons. A side-dump semi trailer might hold 30 tons. Non-street legal ore transfer trucks hold up to 400 tons!

How many cubic metres in a tri-axle dump truck?

As many as it holds. There isn't a set specification for this, and the bed/cargo compartment capacity will often vary in accordance with the commodity being hauled. E.g., a truck bought solely to carry mulch will carry more cubic yards/cubic meters than a truck bought to carry stone aggregates and/or asphalt, since the mulch is a much less dense material. It'll vary in accordance with that and also with the weight/length laws of the country you're in (which we have no way of telling).
