Abstract
This article discusses the relevance of using timber trucks for the removal of timber. The existing schemes for the layout of timber road trains are given. The analysis of the main ad-vantages of logging trucks with trailers, logging truck tractors with semi-trailers, logging trucks with drop trailers, as well as three-link logging road trains is carried out. The dependences of changes in the load capacities of saddle and trailer road trains on their specific load capacity are presented. The regularities of changes in the specific volume of the platform from the carrying capacities of trailer and saddle road trains are given. The dependences of the mounting length of the frame and the specific area of the platform of saddle and trailer road trains on their carrying capacity are analyzed. A comparison of the efficiency indicators of a trailer logging road train and a logging road train with dissolution is given. The patterns of changes in harmful emissions into the environment during a given period of time by heavy-duty multilink timber haulers are shown. The technical and economic efficiency of hauling timber of the same batch by different configurations of timber road trains is con-sidered. The regularities of the performance of three-link and two-link road trains from the permissible speed of their movement, as well as the regularities of changes in their fuel characteristics when driving on roads of a var-iable longitudinal profile, are analyzed.
