Over the years, driving speeds of construction vehicles have steadily risen. Even the small- and medium-sized machines for material handling and transport (wheel loaders and telescopic loaders) have followed this trend. Today, operators reach speeds of over 30 km/hr when driving on roads. If a wheel loader drives over a bump, the resulting shock is […]
