TOWING PIN AND HOOK
IMPORTANT
Do not tow a trailer or attachment which is not in perfect working order.
Using a trailer in poor condition may affect 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.
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
authorized gross vehicle weight, tractive effort and maximum vertical 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 country (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, brake
system…).
