Hello colleagues,
I am writing to see whether someone can suggest some solutions to a
transportation challenge that we have here in Saskatchewan, Canada. Our
Highways Department recently opened a winter road of about 150 km length to
improve access to the far north of the province. The locals have decided
that they want to try using the road during the summer at slow speed (<50
km/h). However, commercial trucks with standard tires and wheels are having
difficulty negotiating the rocky outcrops and pockets of sand (typical
Canadian Shield landform). Can anyone suggest any technologies that might
be tried to increase the mobility of the commercial trucks on this run?
My thoughts so far are:
reduced tire pressures (Tire Pressure Control System-controlled)
Super single tires
Sand/All Terrain traction tires like the Michelin XS or XL 18R22.5 or
Goodyear 445/65R22.5 G178
Thanks for your assistance with this.
Al.\\
