Driving with the trailer
When transport driving, you can either pull or push the Roll Trailer along a pre-planned
route. We recommend pulling the Roll Trailer. When backing up the Roll Trailer, you must
have unimpeded rear visibility.
The driver must always carefully observe the driving route and drive at the speed required
by the situation.
Drive with load only on previously checked driving route.
Never exceed the recommended driving speed. According to technical specification of solid
rubber tyre 22x16x16 speed limit is 6km/h with load and 10km/h with empty trailer. Do
not exceed max distance limit 2000m due to the risk of overheating tires and bearings and
respect required standstill time at least three hours between driving cycles.
Keep COG of cargo as low as possible. Avoid exceeding max gooseneck angle (±70°) to
increase service life of tyres. When performing turns always observe outer turning circle
of tugmaster and inner turning circle or trailers rear part.
Cross bumps and another uneven terrain drive very slowly.
Sharp turns drive very slowly.
The issues listed below may have a detrimental effect on the manoeuvrability of the Roll
Trailer and require that you lower your speed:
• load weight
• the location of the centre of gravity in the vertical direction
• the location of the centre of gravity in the horizontal direction
• aisle widths
• road inclinations
• speed bumps, railroads and other uneven spots
• underpasses
• lighting and visibility
• other traffic
• road condition
• slipperiness of road surface
• bends.
