Towing with the dumper
Dumpers are not designed as towing
vehicles, however, trailers may be towed
providing that:
1 The combined weight of the trailer and
its load does not exceed the specified
maximum dumper payload.
(see"specifications")
2 Trailers may be towed in first gear on
level dry ground, provided a purpose
made towing pin is used.
3 The dumper skip must be loaded with
half the rated payload to ensure tyre
adhesion when braking.
Never tow loads up, down or across
gradients.
Towing the dumper
The dumper should only be towed if
recovery is needed of a broken-down unit,
or to free a “bogged down” machine.
Always ensure that ropes, chains, etc.
used to tow the dumper have sufficient
safe working load capability.
When towing the dumper, always ensure
that the speed is kept to an absolute
minimum.
Always tow the dumper with the gear
lever in neutral.
Never attempt to start the dumper by
pushing or towing.
