D. SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS
6.2. HYDRAULICALLY OPERATED TOP SWINGING DOOR
The control unit for the top swinging door is located at the back of the trailer for safety reasons so that the operator
can observe the movement of the door.
If the trailer has also been fitted with hydraulically operated roof nets,
please ensure:
•
the roof nets are fully opened or closed prior to operating the top swinging
door,
•
the correct order of operation is being observed.
The use of the hydraulically operated top swinging door requires sufficient space at
the back and at the top of the trailer. Please ensure that this is available. Also ensure
that there is no one within a distance of 10 m of the top swinging door. Check this
both prior to and during opening or closing the top swinging door.
