The position of the load on the trailer is extremely important. If it is too far forwards, there will
be too much weight on the ball hitch and there is a risk that the draw bar will break. Too
much at the back, there is a risk of the trailer having uncontrollable yaw, and therefore a very
high accident risk.
The trailers made by COCHET SA. Comply with the legislation n°55 and are designed to have
a hitch height of between 395mm and 465mm.
STRAPPING DOWN THE LOAD
The load to be transported must be strapped down tightly to avoid any movement in the event
of an emergency stop. Correct strapping will also prevent the load from moving and as a result,
any movement away from the centre of the trailer, therefore eliminating the risk of trailer yaw.
In order to strap the load correctly, use the rings provided. You can also use the bars on the
trailer sides if the trailer is fitted with them, or you can hook the straps directly onto the trailer’s
chassis.
