Iv driven a mixer and know how tough it is to keep your rig looking good.Respect to your drivers for a sharp looking fleet
great video you got the right truck to carry the weight
super clean 🖒👌
awesome video
amazing how many axles they have
Time for a new flag.
so why all the axles.
Two main reasons
1.To meet state and federal weight requirements for the roads and bridges they drive on. Simply put, more axles means more weight spread over a larger area=roads and bridges last longer which in turn helps save money.
2. Braking; Steer axle, two drive axles, three pusher axles and a tag axles means there are 14 points on these particular trucks that help slow it down and make it safe to drive for the weight they are carrying.
cosgrove notts, in addition to what Casey Dman already pointed out may I also point out that the type of swing-arm tag axle on this setup helps keep the front steer axle planted firmly on the ground by using the tandem drive axles solid suspension bars as a pivoting point. When the pusher axles supension is inflated, they also take more load off the front steering axle reducing steering traction for turns and or stopping and so forth...but then again those pusher axles need to take on and help distribute the weight -but shouldn't at the expense of steering traction/control. So that's where the tag axle in this configuration comes in handy in two ways like I pointed out above...a balance between weight distribution and steering traction control.
Simply put when the pusher axles are active the front end of the truck goes up but when the tag axle goes down it forces the front down in the opposite direction.
