The dangers of overloading trucks

The hazards of overloading trucks mainly include the following aspects:

Increase in driving safety hazards: overloading will make the tires deformed, increase friction, resulting in shorter tire life, very easy to blowout accidents. At the same time, overloading will lead to a serious decline in the braking performance of the vehicle, braking distance is extended, increasing the risk of brake failure and rollover. In addition, overloaded trucks in turning centrifugal force is much higher than normal trucks, very easy to rollover.

Vehicle service life is shortened: overloading will change the safety and technical performance of the vehicle, and the key components such as welded joints, frames, engines, etc. will be seriously damaged, which will greatly shorten the service life of the vehicle.

Serious damage to roads and bridges: the damage to roads and bridges caused by overloaded vehicles increases geometrically with the increase of the load, and the damage to roads caused by overloaded trucks with an overloading of 10% will increase by 40%, which seriously damages public facilities such as highways and bridges.

Increase the risk of traffic accidents: overloading will lead to a decline in vehicle handling performance, affecting the steering performance of the vehicle, easy to steer out of control and lead to accidents. In addition, overloading will also affect the stability and balance of the vehicle, increasing the risk of rollover and tailgating.

Impact on the smooth flow of roads and increased maintenance costs: overloaded vehicles can not be driven at normal speeds, may occupy the lanes for long periods of time, affecting the smooth flow of roads and the efficiency of access. At the same time, frequent repairs and replacement of parts of overloaded vehicles will also increase road maintenance costs.
