What problems can soft ground cause to a loaded dumper?

Soft ground poses significant challenges for a loaded dumper, primarily because it can lead to the machine becoming stuck. When a dumper is on soft ground, the weight of the load can cause the tires or tracks to sink into the ground, making it difficult for the vehicle to move. This situation often results in the dumper losing traction, unable to propel itself forward, and consequently getting immobilized.

In such conditions, the risk of equipment damage also increases, as the vehicle may struggle to extract itself from the soft surface. Therefore, understanding the implications of soft ground is essential for operators to prevent accidents and downtime. Enhanced traction, increased load capacity, and improved maneuverability are typically not benefits associated with soft ground; rather, they are attributes of more stable surfaces.
