SAFETY TIPS
SAFE TOWING
Don’t move wrecker or extend
boom where overhead power lines
may be encountered.
Don’t continue to wind in winch
cable after the hook is against the
boom end.
There are two key factors in safe towing:
1. Have enough front axle weight for safe steering.
2. Avoid excess rear axle weight.
The issue here is safety. Unsafe steering may cause a serious accident.
It is recommended that a safe steering formula that maintains at least 40
percent of the UNLADEN (unloaded) front axle weight, for towing, be
used.
That formula is expressed as follows: ML =.6 FAW x WB/OH
where:
ML
=
maximum lifted load for safe steering.
FAW
=
unladen (unloaded) weight at front axle.
WB
=
wheel base or distance between the center of the
front axle to the center of the rear axle(s).
OH
=
overhang or distance from the center of the rear
axle(s) to the lift point of the towing device.
