  • Roll-Coupling Hitches

    The Transportation Association of Canada (TAC – formerly RTAC) developed critical performance measurements for commercial vehicles and limits to provide guidance for crafting regulations and evaluating permit requests from industry. The dynamic performance measure used to evaluate roll stability is “Load Transfer Ratio” (LTR). LTR is a physical measurement of weight transferring from one side of a vehicle to the other while negotiating a corner and when performing a predictable avoidance maneuver around a vehicle or pedestrian etc. when a truck driver doesn’t have time to stop the truck to avoid a collision. The LTR limit is <0.60. A vehicle experiences LTR = 0.60 or when 60% of the weight that normally is carried on the wheels on one side of the vehicle has transferred to the wheels on the other side resulting in 80% of the weight being carried on the wheels on one side of the vehicle. As variables change, LTR increases until 100% of the weight (LTR = 1.0) has transferred to one side of the vehicle and the vehicle rolls over.
