pavement design for forklifts and cranes
(OP)
I have happy clients using 30 inches thick concrete pavement for daily forklift operations for years. Put the cost aside for a moment, what are the governing factors in a sound pavement design for these loaders? Do we simply reduce the case into EASLs?
Army has their LedRoad computer program, but I have difficulty locating it. Anyone here knows where to get a copy? thanks.

It's the big outdoor (gravel) forklifts that have the large load-bearing tires.
Inside, most cranes will put their load onto the small pads on the outriggers. Again, more of a point-type load than something spread out and moving - like the Corps might model for a parking lot/road.
