Proper weight distribution is essential for safe towing. The axle should be selected based on the anticipated weight distribution between the towing vehicle and the trailer. Consider factors like tongue weight and the use of weight distribution hitches or sway control devices to ensure balanced weight...
Ensure that you do not exceed the weight capacity of your vehicle’s axles. Overloading or towing beyond the recommended limits can put excessive stress on the axles, leading to premature wear or failure. Be mindful of the payload and towing capacity specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Drivi...
Heavy trucksThis study has proposed a new roll-resistant hydraulically interconnected suspension (HIS) system for a tri-axle straight truck with rear tandem axle bogie suspension to suppress the roll motion of truck body. The equations of motion of the mechanical and hydraulic coupling system are ...
[37] Although not shown in the figures, suspension system 18 also has a corresponding right suspension for suspending the right spirit of the rear axle 20 from a right side rail. Suspension system 18 provides the opportunity to lower the rolling center of the vehicle and reduce vehicle weight....
The dynamic factor is calculated as the ratio of the tensile stress under dynamic load to that under static load under the same axle weight conditions, and is normally used for assessing the effect of dynamic load on pavement response, as shown in Figure 11. It is seen from Figure 11 that...
