Before starting the flatbed transport vehicle, a basic situation check must be conducted. It is necessary to check for any obstacles around the parking area of the flatbed transport vehicle; whether there are any suspicious oil stains or water stains on the ground where the flatbed transport vehicle is parked; and whether the tire pressure of the flatbed transport vehicle's chassis is sufficient. Tire pressure is an important factor affecting the transportation safety of the flatbed transport vehicle because during transportation, the tires will compress and expand, a phenomenon known as tire deformation. This is particularly evident when the tire pressure is low and the vehicle speed is high, leading to abnormally high internal tire temperatures, which may cause the rubber layer to separate from the covering layer or the outer tire rubber to break and scatter, potentially resulting in a blowout and causing vehicle accidents. Therefore, regardless of the circumstances, the tire pressure of the flatbed transport vehicle must be maintained at the manufacturer's specified value. Proper tire pressure also significantly affects the fuel economy of the flatbed transport vehicle. Improper tire pressure increases the rolling resistance of the flatbed transport vehicle's tires, thereby increasing fuel consumption.
