- Do not forget to connect the trailer’s electrical equipment to that of the lift truck.
- The trailer’s braking system must comply with current legislation.
- If pulling a trailer with assisted braking, the tractor lift truck must be equipped with a trailer braking mechanism. In this case, do
not forget to connect the trailer braking equipment to the lift truck.
- The maximum vertical pull on the trailer hook must not exceed 1500 daN.
- The authorised maximum train weight must not exceed the maximum weight authorised by the manufacturer (consult the
manufacturer’s plate on your lift truck).
- For lift trucks with gearboxes:
When driving with a trailer, set off in 2nd gear and go into 3rd when the conditions and state of the road allow. Do not exceed
4th gear to avoid overheating the internal combustion engine and the transmission.
