Why do some trailers on lorries not use all their wheels? Like some are raised up, why not use them all?
In: 15
Wheels rolling on the ground will wear them out. However, more wheels touching the ground spreads the weight of the load so each wheel carries less.
For light loads, only a small number of wheels will touch the ground. More weight pushes the other wheels down to help spread the load over multiple wheels.
