Process Of The Truck Loaded With Wood Passing Through The Bridge Opening !
A Little Wisdom Helps You Become Smarter !
To deflat tires by half makes the truck loaded with wood pass through is not feasible !
1. Safety Risks
Tires after deflation will lead to reduced vehicle controllability and are prone to losing control of the direction. In the relatively narrow space of the bridge opening, once the vehicle loses control, a collision accident is highly likely to occur !
Deflation will seriously affect the vehicle's braking performance. If emergency braking is required during the passage, the truck will not be able to brake normally !
2. Vehicle Damage Risks
After the tires are deflated by half, under the heavy pressure of the vehicle and cargo, the tire sidewalls are overly deformed, which is likely to cause tire damage and may even lead to a flat tire !
This practice will also cause excessive compression on the vehicle's suspension system and may damage suspension components !
If A Truck Loaded With Wood Is A Little Higher Than The Height Limit When Passing Through Such A Bridge Opening, The Following Methods Can Be Adopted To Deal With This Situation :
I. Regarding Cargo Adjustment
1. Rearrange The Cargo
Rearrange the upper layer of the wood, and try to place the taller pieces of wood more compactly and horizontally as much as possible to reduce the overall height. For example, adjust the protruding parts to the middle of the cargo stack !
2. Separate The Cargo
If possible, unload part of the wood and transport it separately. After passing through the bridge opening, reload it, or arrange for other vehicles to transfer this part of the cargo !
II. Regarding Route Planning
1. Re - Plan The Route
Use professional navigation tools or logistics route - planning software to find out if there are any other feasible routes to avoid this height - limited bridge opening. Check whether there are detour routes without height restrictions or with higher height limits !
2. Inquire About Temporary Traffic Control Information
Contact the local traffic management department to ask if there are any temporary traffic control measures or special passage arrangements that can help the truck pass through the bridge opening. For example, whether it is possible to unilaterally close the road during a specific period of time to allow the truck to pass carefully !
III. Regarding The Vehicle
1. Adjust The Suspension (if Feasible)
For some special trucks, if their suspension systems allow for limited height adjustment, the vehicle body height can be appropriately adjusted to reduce the height under the premise of safety and compliance with vehicle regulations. However, this requires professional operation and ensuring that no damage will be caused to the vehicle !
2. Measure And Re - Check
Measure the height of the truck including the cargo accurately again to ensure that there were no errors in the previous measurement, and check whether there are parts of the vehicle itself (such as antennas, etc.) that can be temporarily removed or adjusted to reduce the overall height !
