The problems of determining the parameters of a traction machine’s wheel mover with a locked asymmetrical balance bar operation, taking into account the kinematic mismatch arising from the redistribution of the vertical reactions at the driving wheels due to off-center pushing force, have been considered. An algorithm for calculating traction and braking forces, as well as drive wheels’ slippage and skid of an asymmetric balance bar based on their traction balance and the condition of equal actual speeds under a variable vertical load, have been presented. As a result of research it has been found that the greatest additional loads in the drive and tire wear of the wheel mover with a locked asymmetric balance bar will occur when it moves in transport mode on a support surface with high traction properties.
