1. Park your dump truck on level ground.
2. Engage the parking brake.
3. Grab a measuring tape.
4. Locate a common reference point on both the front and rear axles. For example, you can use the center of the wheel hub.
5. Measure the distance between the front and rear reference points. This measurement is your wheelbase.
6. Repeat the process with the truck bed in the raised and lowered positions. This will help you confirm that the wheelbase is the same regardless of the truck's load.
Tips:
- If the dump truck has dual rear wheels, measure the distance between the centers of the two wheels on each axle.
- You can also estimate the wheelbase by looking at the truck's specifications plate or by searching for the information online.
- The wheelbase of a dump truck can vary depending on the model and year.
