Simulation Research on Climbing Ability of Shovel Loader with Four Tracks

In this paper, a virtual prototype of the shovel loader with four tracks was established based on the truth designing dimensions. Then the simulation was done to analysis its ability to get over the 30°ramp. The simulation results indicate that the shovel loader with four tracks can get over the barrier successfully which prove that this new kind of tracked wheels have strong maneuverability, which can greatly expand the using area of the shovel loader. This simulation provides theory supports for the further development and research of this new kind of tracks.
