To improve traction and help prevent wheelslip and wheelslide, most motorized vehicles carry sand onboard. By operating a control device in the cab, usually in the form of a button or a lever, the driver can deploy sand to the wheels, using a sander.

While sand can help drastically with the loss of traction, it does so only on motorized vehicles. When in need of pulling power this may be sufficient, because only motorized vehicles are doing the work, but when needing braking power, it may not be enough as there is no way to supply sand to the cars, that too could be wheelsliding.

Sand is a limited resource and should be used sparingly.
