 Axle tramp - Cliff Pope
I again witnessed a lorry this morning, in difficulties getting up a steep section of road.
There are two such sections on my regular commute, made much worse by the recent reduction of the speed limit to 30 mph so that lorries can't get a run-up.

What technically happens when an axle tramps? I can see that it is not the same as merely poor grip, as on a slippery road, but seems to be something to do with the suspension.
Artics seem much more prone.
