What this mod does
Heavy Industrial Module: 150K lb – 1M lb, by $Richy Rich$, takes heavy hauling in American Truck Simulator to the extreme: it adds an industrial module cargo in 18 weights, from 150,000 to 1,000,000 lb in 50,000 lb steps, in single, double, triple and extended sizes. It came out on November 4, 2026 and already has over 4,000 subscribers.
What it changes
- A standard 7.74 m cargo for regular lowboys and an extended 13 m cargo for extended lowboys, recommended for the heavier weights.
- Pay from 3x (150,000 lb) to 30x (1,000,000 lb) what a stock mixtank cargo pays; normal bonuses and penalties apply.
- State weight limit raised to 1,000,000 kg (affects all trailers) and an «Extended Heavy Lowboy – 9 Axle» purchasable from level 20.
- XP, empty trailer mass, axles and accessories unchanged.
Version and warnings
The author confirms it works on 1.61.x and 1.62.x (updated November 5, 2026). He warns that stock engines cannot pull these weights and recommends engine mods; users report steering problems above 400,000 lb. Because it touches pay and weight limits, use it in single-player with a profile backup. It weighs 54 MB. More in the ATS trailer mods guide.
