WORK CAPABILITY FACTORS FOR DOZER AND LOADER TIRES OPERATING IN LOAD AND CARRY SERVICE

Since tire heat becomes a major potential problem in Load and Carry service, a method was required to determine the performance capabilities of Dozer and Loader tires so that optimum tire life could be achieved. This paper covers the need for tire limits; basic Dozer and Loader tire design requirements; the method established for determining tire capabilities in Load and Carry service, and finally the factors differentiating this rating system from the TMPH system which is used for transport type vehicles. /GMRL/
