Loading and Unloading
•
The HKT
lowerable
trailer is mainly designed for
transporting motorcycles and small vehicles.
•
You will mainly find a description of the loading/
unloading process for motorcycles below.
6.1 Load distribution
WARNING
Negative/low drawbar load - risk of skidding!
If the vehicle is loaded incorrectly, you can create a negative or
inadequate drawbar load which causes risk of skidding.
►
►
Distribute the weight evenly across the trailer.
►
►
Observe the minimum and maximum drawbar
load forces of the trailer.
►
►
Do not exceed the maximum permissible drawbar load
of the towing vehicle and trailer coupling.
Observe the information on the maximum
permissible vertical load on the drawbar.
Correct load distribution
Vehicle loaded correctly
The trailer and the towing vehicle are stable with all
wheels on the ground.
Optimal driving characteristics and minimum risk of
skidding.
Incorrect load distribution
Vehicle loaded incorrectly
The trailer is tilting backwards; the towing vehicle is tilting
forwards = the drawbar load is too low or negative.
The trailer tends to swerve, which increases the risk of
skidding.
