What's your vehicle's payload limit?
Use the payload limit shown on your vehicle's Tire and Loading Information label when possible.
Step 1 of 4 · Vehicle
Use the bag's actual labeled weight
Concrete mixes are sold in several bag sizes, and mixes of the same size can differ between products. Use the weight printed on the bag or the manufacturer information for the specific product rather than an assumed figure.
Why concrete gets heavy quickly
Concrete reaches a payload limit faster than almost anything else you'll buy in bags. Twenty 80 lb bags is 1,600 lb – more than the payload limit of many pickups once a driver and a passenger are on board.
Check your own figure first on the vehicle payload page.
Frequently asked questions
- How many 80 lb bags of concrete can I carry?
- It depends on your vehicle's payload limit minus the people and cargo already on board. Enter those numbers above and LoadCheck gives the count for your vehicle.
- Which bag weight should I use?
- Use the weight printed on the bag. Common mixes come in 40, 50, 60 and 80 lb bags, and you can also enter a custom weight.
- Can I split a heavy concrete order into trips?
- Yes. When the full quantity exceeds your available payload, LoadCheck shows how many bags to take per trip and how many trips that takes.
