Dump truck chassis selection

When choosing a chassis, it is generally considered based on economic benefits, such as: chassis price, loading quality, overload capacity, fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, road maintenance costs, etc. In addition, the following parameters of the chassis must be considered:

 1.The height of the upper plane of the chassis frame from the ground. Generally, the height of the plane above the ground of the 6x4 chassis frame is 1050~1200. The larger the value, the higher the center of gravity of the whole vehicle is, and the more likely it is to cause a rollover. The main factors affecting this value are the tire diameter, suspension arrangement and the height of the main frame section.

2.Rear suspension of the chassis. If this value is too large, it will affect the stability of the dump truck and cause a rollover accident. This value is generally between 500-1100 (except for rollover dump trucks).

3. The whole vehicle is reasonably matched and reliable in use.
