Calculation method

Calculation method

Additional horizontal wheel travel (cm)

Travel=lift/tan(slope), final=start+travel.

Required final horizontal position (cm)

Travel=lift/tan(slope), final=start+travel.

Remaining wedge run (cm)

Travel=lift/tan(slope), final=start+travel.

Symbols and units
a
Required wheel lift (cm)
b
Wedge slope angle (degrees)
c
Wheel starting position along wedge (cm)
d
Usable wedge run (cm)

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Ideal point-contact wedge geometry; tire radius, deformation, traction and load ratings excluded. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints. Ideal point-contact wedge geometry; tire radius, deformation, traction and load ratings excluded.
