The article presents the results of theoretical studies on the process of damaging root crops when they are unloaded from the dump bodies of vehicles. The results have revealed that the maximum speed of fall of individual tubers can reach 6.42 m/s. Moreover, it is well known that the permissible values of this parameter for various fall options (surfaces on which roots and tubers are unloaded) have the following values: steel or wood - 1.9-2.5 m/s; rubber - 5.6-7.5 m/s; free tuber - 3.8-5 m/s and not free tuber - 2.7-5.2 m/s. Accordingly, there is a high probability to damage a tuber when it falls. The technical solution considered in the article helps to reduce the damages of tuberous roots when they are unloaded from the dump bodies of vehicles by reducing the dynamic impact on individual tubers.
