We have issued (version 02.2 issued on 2023-04-24) of our excel calculation sheet for vehicle builders.

The sheet features:

• database of a number of host vehicles;
• custom host vehicle can be defined by user;
• you can define your loads at specific positions on the vehicle;
• you'll get calculated a center of gravity position and resultant load on front and rear axle;
• warnings appears if the max allowed load is exceeded for the selected host vehicle.

If you make MEWP you can:

• define front and rear stabilizers' positions;
• calculate front and rear stabilizers' resultant load,
• you can turn the stabilizers OFF if not desired.

Features for a rail drive calculations:

• define number of axles (single front, single or double rear axle)
• single and double axle front and double axle rear bogie
• define a rail wheels' diameter;
• define front and rear axle position;
• define the vehicle design travel speed;
• define the track uphill inclination;
• the sheet calculates front and rear rail axle load;
• the sheet calculates drive power needed to travel at the desired speed at defined uphill;
• you will be warned if the rail wheel base vs design speed doesn't comply EN 15746 criteria;
• you will be warned if the wheel load vs diameter doesn't comply EN 15746 criteria.

Feel free to send this calculator directly to your email. We just need to know who is interested of our files.
