  2. Weight transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_transfer

    The major forces that accelerate a vehicle occur at the tires' contact patches.Since these forces are not directed through the vehicle's CoM, one or more moments are generated whose forces are the tires' traction forces at pavement level, the other one (equal but opposed) is the mass inertia located at the CoM and the moment arm is the distance from pavement surface to CoM.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Containerization

    The loading capacity of containers must be such that their total weight (load, plus tare) is: 5 tonnes (4.92 long tons; 5.51 short tons) for containers of the heavy type; 2.5 tonnes (2.46 long tons; 2.76 short tons) for containers of the light type; a tolerance of 5 percent excess on the total weight is allowable under the same conditions as ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_load_device

    A unit load device (ULD) is a container used to load luggage, freight, and mail on wide-body aircraft and specific narrow-body aircraft. It allows preloading of cargo , provided the containerised load fits in the aircraft, enabling efficient planning of aircraft weight and balance and reduced labour and time in loading aircraft holds compared ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_logistics

    The Russian Progress vehicle has long served as a cargo vehicle which, upon departing a space station, destructively reenters the atmosphere destroying all "cargo" on board. This approach works very effectively for removing unwanted mass from a space station.

  6. Vehicle rollover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_rollover

    This force acts at ground level, below the center of mass. The force of inertia acts horizontally through the vehicle's center of mass away from the center of the turn. These two forces make the vehicle roll towards the outside of the curve. The force of the vehicle's weight acts downward through the center of mass in the opposite direction.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M939_series_5-ton_6×6_truck

    The M939 is a 5-ton 6×6 U.S. military heavy truck.The basic cargo versions were designed to transport a 10,000 pounds (4,500 kg) cargo load over all terrain in all weather.

  8. Weight distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_distribution

    Weight distribution is the apportioning of weight within a vehicle, especially cars, airplanes, and trains.Typically, it is written in the form x/y, where x is the percentage of weight in the front, and y is the percentage in the back.

  9. Crane (machine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_(machine)

    A loader crane (also called a knuckle-boom crane or articulating crane) is an hydraulically powered articulated arm fitted to a truck or trailer, and is used for loading/unloading the vehicle cargo. The numerous jointed sections can be folded into a small space when the crane is not in use.
