When selecting a Shacman Dump Truck, customers typically evaluate the chassis based on economic factors, including chassis cost, load capacity, overload tolerance, fuel efficiency per 100 kilometers, and road maintenance expenses. Additionally, to ensure safe operation, users should take into account the following vehicle parameters:
1. The height of the platform above the chassis frame. In the industry, the standard height for a 6×4 chassis frame is approximately 1200mm. A higher value indicates an elevated center of gravity, increasing the risk of rollover incidents. Key factors influencing this measurement include tire diameter, suspension configuration, and the height of the main frame section. To accommodate typical customer usage, the industry generally utilizes 12.00R20 radial tires. Trucks Supplier has optimized the suspension and frame design to lower the vehicle’s center of gravity, achieving a platform height of 1100mm for the 6×4 Shacman Dump Truck chassis, which is 100mm lower than the industry standard, thereby reducing tire wear while maintaining safe driving conditions.
2. The compatibility between the vehicle’s wheelbase and the rear suspension is crucial. An improper assembly of the rear suspension can compromise the dump truck’s stability, potentially leading to accidents. Trucks Supplier has precisely matched the chassis with the large box, adjusting the wheelbase and rear suspension to ensure that the vehicle remains stable under full load and does not experience excessive lateral movement during turns.
3. Shacman Dump Trucks require precise steering capabilities, particularly in mountainous regions such as the southwest, where roads often feature steep inclines and sharp curves. Prolonged operation under full load can lead to elevated oil temperatures in the steering system, resulting in a release of internal pressure. This can make steering feel heavy for the driver, contributing to fatigue and increasing the risk of accidents.
