9. Caution / transport
Bring device into position for transporting; check for
transport readiness.
Do not carry passengers, and keep away from the
danger area.
The tractor can tow trailer implements weighing up to 3
t in weight; trailers with an axle weight of over 3 t must
be fitted with brakes.
Maximum speed, depending on the type of operating
permit, is 25 km/h or 40 km/h.
Observe the relevant speed limits and traffic regulations
when transporting the implement by road. Always take
the centre of gravity into account.
Observe the corresponding road traffic regulations
(StVZO or local equivalent). These specify that the user
is responsible for the correct hitching of the tractor and
implement for driving on public roads and rights of way.
Attached implements must not affect the safe driving of
the tractor-trailer combination. The attachment of the
implement must not result in the maximum permitted
axle weight of the tractor, the maximum permitted total
weight, or the load capacity of the vehicle tyres (regard-
less of air pressure) being exceeded. For safe steering,
the front axle of the tractor must bear at least 20% of
the vehicle‘s unladen weight.
The maximum permitted width of the load is three
metres. The tractor and trailer must not exceed a total
length of 18 m.
A special permit is normally required if the maximum
permitted dimensions are exceeded.
No avoidably overhanging item must endanger other
traffic or road users (sect. 32 StVZO or your local
equivalent). Overhanging items that cannot be avoided
must be covered and fitted with warning notices. Safety
devices include appropriate lighting and signs around
all sides and the rear of the vehicle and towed imple-
ment, e.g. red/white striped warning signs (423 x 423
mm) and triangles (stripes of 100 mm in width, angled
at 45°, running from outside to bottom).
Towed implements and semi-trailers must be fitted
with rear red revolving flashing lights and lateral amber
flashing revolving lights, and must be driven with the
vehicle lights switched on at all times – even in daytime
(additional warning lights must be fitted if the implement
protrudes by more than 400 mm outside the normal
trailer lights).
RABE can supply, as optional extras, the safety covers
required for transport on public roads.
RABE can also supply the TÜV certificate required for
issue of an operating permit in certain jurisdictions.
When transporting on public roads in Poland, the war-
ning triangle (20.1/1) must be fixed to the centre of the
machine.
