4.2.5.3 – Notes Specific to Loading CT177 Trailers
• CT177 trailers have a very low bed and clearance problems are rare.
• However the low bed is achieved at the expense of having “wheelboxes” which project above
the bed.
• When loading it is necessary to establish whether the vehicle wheels will go between the
wheelboxes or whether one or both vehicle wheels must go over the wheelboxes.
• The wheelboxes are vey strong and there is no risk of crushing them.
5.3 – Unloading Tiltbed Trailers carrying Vehicles or other Rolling Loads
• Tiltbed trailers must be coupled to a suitable towing vehicle during the entire unloading
operation. There is no safe way of unloading with the trailer supported on its jockey wheel.
