• All other Tiltbeds will have ramps or attached skids. All should be left closed until tilting is
complete.
• CT177 trailers have pull out but retained mini-skids. These should be pulled out before tilting.
They are retained by pins on the bottom of the light pods and released by removing the lynch
pins just in front of the light pods, thereby allowing the light pods to swing outwards and
releasing the mini-skids. Note that, when the CT177 light pods are swung out, although rear
lights and reflectors remain visible from the rear they are no longer in their legal orientation
or the minimum legal height above the ground. When operating on the public highway it is
essential to put a warning device (approved warning triangle) at the rear of the working area
(upstream of traffic).
