Iraq Towing Capacity Calculator

How to Use the Towing Calculator in Iraq

Navigating Iraq’s diverse terrain requires reliable towing calculations. Our Iraq-specific towing calculator helps drivers and transport companies make safe, cost-effective towing decisions. Here’s how to use it effectively:

Step 1: Understand Your Vehicle Weight
Start with your vehicle’s exact weight. This includes fuel, passengers, and cargo. Iraqi weight stations provide certified measurements – crucial for accurate calculations.

Step 2: Trailer Weight Matters
Include the trailer’s empty weight plus its load. For construction equipment transport common in Basra’s oil fields, add 10% safety margin to your estimate.

Step 3: Select Terrain Type
The calculator offers three Iraq-specific options:

  • City Roads (Baghdad urban areas)

  • Highway (Main routes like Baghdad-Mosul)

  • Mountainous Areas (Kurdistan region routes)

Each selection adjusts safety factors based on Iraq’s road gradient standards.

Step 4: Input Distance Accurately
Use actual route distances. For long hauls between Erbil and Kirkuk, add 15% extra kilometers for checkpoints and alternate routes.

Reading Results:

  • Safe Capacity shows in green for values above 500kg

  • Red Warnings indicate need for load adjustments

  • Cost estimates use current Iraqi dinar fuel rates

  • Mountain routes display special permit requirements
