How much cover is needed before tracked plant can be used on the tank?

There is no one answer, it depends on the size of the plant and the size of the load. It is not just the weight of the plant itself, it is the weight of the material they could be carrying. The amount of cover will vary depending on the size and loads of the vehicles. With tracked plant, it does tend to be slightly larger surface area in contact with the tank, which means a bigger boot space.

It can be reduced, probably an equivalent weight the load vehicle cover. You can reduce it slightly with track plant because of the larger surface area in contact with the tank. However, there isn’t one area we would do this. If you have a particular machine in mind you can send us the specifications, our technical team help and give you the cover levels or what spreader plates are needed. We can calculate all this for you.
