Beach mobility tests were performed on 6000-, 10,000-, and 50,000-pound-capacity rough terrain forklift trucks and a 20-ton-capacity rough terrain crane. Data included drawbar pull, maximum negotiable slope, and soil characteristics. An extension of the Cone Index Mobility Model is proposed to account for the additional effects of differences in front/rear tire inflations and axle loadings, and radial tires. Test observations and data analysis suggest that new approaches in developing sand mobility prediction techniques may be fruitful. (Author)
