6 Loading and Unloading
6.1 Load distribution
Before loading, check the max. load capacity that you
are able to transport with your trailer.
Check that the max. permissible body dimensions of
your trailer are not exceeded.
The load distribution works directly on the road handling of the
towing vehicle tension.
NOTICE
Poor / one-sided load distribution of the goods!
Strongly uneven / point load distribution can lead to over-
stresssing and damage to the trailer components.
►
►
Before loading your trailer, check which load objects are
the heaviest.
►
►
Position the heaviest objects centrally on the cargo bed
and in the area of the axles.
►
►
Distribute the goods evenly over the cargo bed
- Avoid point / one-sided load distribution.
