Can the long wheelbase cross the deck transitions?

Motor graders

A grader’s wheelbase, central blade and low underbody make transition clearance as important as nominal deck length.

Measure before selecting

  • Wheelbase and tandem contact positions
  • Blade width and transport rotation
  • Lowest central clearance
  • Overall transported length

Loading approach

Evaluate the complete climb and breakover path. A machine can ground midway even when both ramp ends appear clear.

Support & load concentration

Record front axle and rear tandem reactions and leave access to securement points. Do not infer weight distribution from overall length.

Configuration traps

Blade angle can change width without changing tyre width. Check the intended locked transport position.

Build the load record

Keep the model reference, actual attachment configuration, measured transport envelope and support drawing together. A change to the machine or its loading position requires the affected comparisons to be updated.
