Truck performance improvements in surface mines: intervention measurements bring profits

摘要

Trucks are subjected to various loads that cannot be anticipated in the design at the OEM level. Apart from many other things, uneven and soft roads as well as uneven loading work as multipliers in terms of load on the tire and suspensions, etc. In other words, for example 20% difference from designed road criteria and 10% uneven loading on the truck plate can increase uneven load on the tire by more than 40% - setting off high tire wear and tear and component failures. This is called multiplier effect.
