"I drive 18 wheeler" who asked you?

What's your problem with the statement?
Somebody's tried to explain the reasons and tells reasons for believing and you are asking him "who asked you "?

To increase area of contact and decrease pressure on ground.
Remember that these trucks carry heavy loads. If they have few tires, the pressure will be much on those few tires and on the ground but with so many tires, the pressure is distributed and thus, less on the ground.

I drive 18 wheeler, I would know.

How does it feels driving those vehicle? I had a lift in one when serving in ogun state, the thing be like say I dey inside plane.

Spot on.

This is the kind of used in transporting The largest gas berth in the World to Dangote's refinery

It’s nothing special. The bigger the load it will carry the more wheels it will have; Bicycle 🚴 does not carry to much load unlike keke, or a car 🚗 and so forth. Think of the wheel as humans. The larger the load the more people you add to carry the load.

GanagiBitrus:
Generally speaking, the Heavier the Load, the More the Number of Tyres.

But talk about spending over 4m just on Tyres! Rail transport would have been more suitable, unless perhaps it's not for long distances.

Which N4m?

You should be talking of N12m

You garrit.

That's not practical, turning the truck will put the rear tires under serious stress.

The thread dey correlate now..

For balance. So that it doesn't tilt over.

The day I witnessed an overloaded trailer tilt over and fall ehn? I was shocked that day 'cause before then, I never thought it could ever happen.

It's has so many tires cos the truck is not real. First, the tires are so close that it makes not sense when it comes to spreading the loads. Second, the truck is so long that it will be unlikely to be able to turn in an intersection. Dump trucks that carry heavy loads are usually short while trailers are usually limited to 53 feet so that they can usually maneuver.

That would have been correct the Oyinbo found a solution for such problem. It's called rear differential and on trailers, wheels are almost independent of each other's.

Just two reasons
1. To spread the weight of the load over a larger Area to reduce the pressure on the tared roads
2. To share the weight of the load over several tires to reduce the tendency of bursting under load and temperature

Wide load
