TOWING PIN AND HOOK
Located at the rear of the lift truck, this device is used to attach a trailer. Its capacity is limited for each lift truck by the authorised
gross vehicle weight, tractive effor t and maximum ver tical force on the coupling point. This information is given on the
manufacturer's plate fixed to each lift truck (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: IDENTIFICATION OF THE LIFT TRUCK).
- To use a trailer, see current regulations in your countr y (maximum running speed, braking, maximum weight of trailer, etc.).
- Verify the trailer's condition before using it (tyre condition and pressures, electrical connection, hydraulic hose, braking
system…).
Do not tow a trailer or accessory which is not in perfect working order. Using a trailer in poor condition may effect the lift truck's
steering and braking, and hence safety.
If a third party helps in coupling or uncoupling the trailer, this person must be permanently visible to the driver and wait until the lift
truck has stopped, the handbrake is on and the I.C. engine is switched off before performing the operation.
NOTE: There is an OPTIONAL rear-view mirror which allows the lift truck to be approached more closely to the trailer ring.
