What is 'angle of approach' 🧑‍🔧

I decided to write about “What is 'angle of approach'” after a few colleagues asked for my help in the subject. If you are still in doubt, stick with me…

A quick answer is…

The maximum angle of an incline onto which a vehicle can move from a horizontal plane without interference. Also: The angle that is turned through by either of paired wheels in gear from the first contact between a pair of teeth until the pitch points of these teeth fall together.

Approach angle is the maximum angle of a ramp onto which a vehicle can climb from a horizontal plane without interference.

It is defined as the angle between the ground and the line drawn between the front tire and the lowest-hanging part of the vehicle at the front overhang.
