Thank you. I am reading between the lines of a scope of work that I am quoting for a potential customer. None of us in 30 years rigging, trucking and mechanical engineering have ever heard this particular term (ground pressure per wheel set). They specifically asked for the capacity of each...
I am looking for either guidance or a formula for calculating ground pressure per wheel set for a truck and trailer that has a capacity up to 80,000 lbs. The tandem axle capacity for both front and rear is 34,000 lbs each and the capacity for the front steering axle is 12,000 lbs. Thank you.
