Driving behavior
Trips with a modulbox trailer should be carried out with great care
and concentration. The maximum width of the team is 2.5m and is
therefore significantly wider than a conventional towing vehicle. This is
particularly important in narrow city traffic.
The loaded trailer has a height of almost 3.7 m, the corresponding
clearance heights must be observed. Due to its height, weight
and trailer width, the combination is „susceptible to wind“. This is
particularly important when driving over bridges and when strong
winds occur.
Driving on ruts should be avoided in any case, as there is a risk of
the trailer „rocking“. In such an emergency, tipping over can only be
prevented by targeted braking.
Overrun brake of the trailer
The trailer is equipped with an overrun brake. This has several
consequences:
The ABS of the towing vehicle does not act on the trailer, in the course
of an emergency braking the trailer can block and possibly break away.
This is particularly important in wet and slippery road conditions. If it is
slippery, the journey should be interrupted if necessary.
When reversing, the overrun brake must be pushed. This creates
increased clutch wear. Edges such as curbs should not be driven
backwards.
Coupling head height 48cm (center point) plus / minus 5 cm
Unload the module box from the trailer
The transport trailers for the modulbox have a permissible total weight
of 3.5 t and have a ball head coupling.
Every driver must show the appropriate driver‘s license.
A safe location must be selected for unloading where the modulbox can
finally be placed.
The following work steps must be carried out:
- Apply the trailer‘s handbrake
- Uncouple and remove the towing vehicle
- Loosen the transport lock
The modulbox has an electromechanical lifting spindle drive with 4
motors.
The lifting system has a lifting height of 700 mm. The drives require an
output of 2.5kW and develop an increased starting current.
The following points must be observed:
- The fuse for the power supply must be switched on
- The feed to the next network fuse should not exceed 30m
- When using cable drums, ensure that the cable is fully unwound
Failure to comply with these rules can lead to the drives failing.
On the back of the modulbox - marked in green - you will find the 230V
mains connection and the plug connection for the switching element in
a floor box
The system is equipped with an acoustic signal that reports polarity
reversal.
If the power cable is connected correctly, a short „beep“ sounds, if the
power plug is connected incorrectly, a continuous tone sounds. The
plug must then be rotated 180 degrees!
service
The lifting system includes a weatherproof switching element that is
connected via a plug connection. This works with a low voltage of 12V.
The plug connection must be protected from moisture.
