Description

The Forest Engineering Research Institute of Canada (FERIC), researched common log truck configurations between 1992 and 1998. The main conclusion of this study was that the majority of logging trucks failed to meet the minimum criteria for safety performance, when hauling Alberta winter weights. During 1999 and 2000, FERIC undertook a supplementary project to determine what improvements could be made to bring the safety performances up to the minimum standard. Based on the results of this second study, recommendations for the specifications of logging trucks have been developed and are presented in this resource.
