Upgrading load and speed limits for cane transport vehicles : SRDC final project report SD01004
(BSES, 2001) Robotham, BG; Norris, CP; Geddes, RG
The primary objective of this project was to reduce costs associated with the haulout of cane by facilitating the continued development of haulout equipment, appropriate to the needs of the industry. This was achieved by:
Developing a framework for advancing road transportation of sugarcane : SRDC final report SD98013
(BSES, 1998) Robotham, BG; Norris, CP
An objective of this project was to initiate a research program for the road transportation of sugarcane. Future research projects will be undertaken with the knowledge and cooperation of key parties and therefore have realistic and achievable goals. This project has encouraged communication between road regulators, manufacturers of haulout equipment, suppliers of tyres and suspension systems, users of haulout equipment, researchers and cane growers and thus created a cooperative environment for future research in this area. In addition to the initially specified objectives, this project has addressed the current issue of legislation not adequately covering the newer types of haulouts and the non-conformity of many haulouts to current regulations.
