Design Considerations for the Goodbary Bottom Dump Haulage Trucks

“Design Considerations For The Goodbary Bottom Dump Haulage Truck” accepts the conclusions of previous investigations indicating strong inherent advantages of the two-axle, bottom-dump rear-axle powered unit, utilizing two wheel motors, and presents a summary of a comparative study between a single tire application and a dual tire application, further concluding that single tire mounting is the only functionally sound and economically feasible choice. In the process of reaching this conclusion, included are a number of related design and operational considerations of off-road haulage equipment which will provide the greatest return for the end user.
