TOWING

Towing a Trailer

• 

Do not exceed the Draw Bar Pull capacity of the vehicle or maximum load of the vehicle.

Note:  Towing up or down grades will significantly reduce the capacity of the vehicle.

• 

Do not exceed the load capacity of the trailer.

• 

Do not exceed the capacity of the trailer hitch.

• 

Only use Taylor-Dunn approved trailer hitches.

•  Cargo consisting of fluid in tanks shall have fluid baffles in the tank to help reduce shifting 

load weight.

• 

Make sure all cargo is securely tied down.

• 

Do not back up when pulling more than one trailer.

• 

Drive slowly when pulling trailers with high center of gravity.

• 

When turning, be sure to allow for “corner cutting” of the trailer.

• 

Allow for longer stopping distances when towing heavy loads.

• 

Allow for longer stopping distances when driving down a grade.

• 

Block the trailer wheels before disconnecting from the vehicle.

• 

Do not disconnect a trailer while parked on a grade.

Draw Bar Pull (DBP), Definition

DBP is a measure of pulling force required to move a load. The load may be a trailing load or a 

pushed load. It is normally expressed in pounds or Newtons.

The DBP of a tow tractor is the horizontal force exerted on a load at its coupler while towing or 

pushing a load. To measure the DBP, a scale would be connected in line with the tractor coupler 

and the load. The scale will directly read the DBP as the tractor tows the load.

Tow tractor DBP specifications, definition:

• 

Normal DBP: Highest DBP that can be sustained for a given duty cycle.

• 

Ultimate DBP: Also referred to a Maximum DBP. Highest DBP achieved while traveling at 

a minimum speed of approximately 0.5 mph (0.8 kph) for a minimum of 30 seconds. This 

specification is used in calculations for getting a load moving.

Notes: 

Tow tractor DBP specifications are based on:

• 

Road surface consisting of level dry clean asphalt, brushed concrete or equivalent.

•  Maximum battery weight installed per tow tractor battery specification.

Towing a load up any grade will significantly increase the DBP required.

Most paved roads and parking lots have a drainage grade to allow water to run off. When operating 

a tow tractor at or near its maximum capacity, this drainage grade will significantly affect DBP 

required to pull the load and may result in exceeding the tractor specifications.

Transporting Pets

Pets should only be transported in a pet carrier that is securely tied down on the rear cargo deck.
