Tata Ace Specifications from Chennai

Load capacity and rate

• Maximum load: Up to 1,100 kg. Hard limit.
• Rate: Rs. 26-29 per km.
• Driver: Always included in every booking.
• Body type: Covered deck. Packaged goods, samples, light industrial cargo.

When to book the Bada Dost instead

If your consignment weighs above 1,100 kg and up to 1.5T, the Bada Dost carries it at the same per-km rate (Rs. 26-29/km). Same cost, double the headroom. Overloading a Tata Ace creates a checkpost compliance issue on intercity routes.
