Rolling Resistance and Industrial Wheels
2013-2-28u2002·u20022013-2-28u2002·u2002The resistance per wheel is 14.1 lb. Since truck has four wheels, the total force to move (sustained motion) the truck is 14.1 x 4 = 56.4 lbs. Wheel diameter plays a significant role in the force required to move a load. In the example above, using a 16' diameter wheel (with a radius of 8') would halve the required force.
