Weight of wood chips? Any chips haulers here?

Would moisture be a large factor?

 

Yup - sorry, I’ll watch and see what experts can offer.

 

Cubic yard will weigh approximately 700 lbs for straight wood chips, 900 for shredded bark. More people haul by volume than by weight. I have pulled 45,48, 53’ walking floors, all depends on what’s moving. A 45’ level full, you won’t be up to legal weight with wood chips

 

Usually straight chips or grindings that aren’t mixed with dirt I’m about 28-29 ton without shoveling corners in, of course wet/dry, type of wood, compost etc all change it, 90 yards at 58k is just over 600 lbs a yard

 

42 ft possum belly. With white fur that’s green and heavy, can easily haul 30 tons or more. Could box it out and be around 100,000 lbs.

 

Totally depends on the species of the wood and the moisture content.
I've hauled loads of green Redwood that grossed almost 100k with the trailer not full. Pine that's been decked for a long time, you could heap the trailer and maybe hit 65k.

 

I pulled 45 feet long, 12 1/2 tall, 96 inches wide Peerless chip trailer hauling fresh pine woodchips no problem getting 25 tons in the trailer.
