– Check the connection points for the Half Horizontal Beams. For actual
dimensions please refer to the “SideWings Positioning” drawing.
– Please also refer to the “SideWings Setup” drawing to get an overview of
the location of each Half Horizontal Beam in relation to the others.
– Pre-install the pillars on the Half Horizontal Beams.
– Retrofi t : If there are no bore holes present yet, refer to the “SideWings
Positioning” drawing.
Measure and mark the position of the bore holes on the side of the trailer
I-Beam.
Drill the bore holes, preferably with a magnetic drill.

M10x30 screws, 8 x ø10 washers and 4 x hexagon nuts for each pillar.
The pillars must be mounted in a position between the wheels with enough
clearance to other parts.
The pillars must be installed in such a way that the pillar in front of the fi rst
wheel is defl ected by no more than 30mm when a force of 1000N is applied
to the pillar at the position of the lock, transverse to the direction of travel
The vehicle width of 2550mm for standard trailers and 2600mm for reefer
trailers must not be exceeded.
The ground clearance of the device must be at least 340mm for the last
4550mm of a semi-trailer, for docking reasons.
