Two 9-axle B-train log-hauling configurations authorized for designated provincial highways in British Columbia : evaluating their use on resource road infrastructure
Substantial benefits can be realized by forest companies in British Columbia through implementation of new 9-axle log-hauling configurations. At the request of the British Columbia Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, FPInnovations undertook analyses to assess the potential impacts of the new trucks on resource roads and bridges. The analyses considered forestry bridge capacity (up to 80 m spans); vehicle fit to the resource road, gradeability, and road impacts. The vehicle weights and dimensions authorized for designated provincial highways were the basis for the analyses.
