6.3.2 Incorrect load distribution
Incorrect load distribution
• Take measures to distribute the load
correctly (See section 6.3.1 Correct
load distribution, page 53).
Incorrectly loaded trailer:
Fig. 2: Example A
In example A, the weight of the load is
not on the axle.
Fig. 3: Example B
In example B, the load is concentrated at
the front of the trailer, making the support
load on the trailer coupling of the towing
vehicle too high. The rear of the towing
vehicle is pushed down.
Fig. 4: Example C
54
In example C, the load is concentrated at
the rear of the trailer, making the lever-
age force acting on the trailer coupling of
the towing vehicle too high. The rear of
the towing vehicle is pulled up. The sup-
port load is too low. Trailer snaking may
result as the support load is too low.

6.4 Securing the load

• Secure the load in such a way that it
will not slip or become unfastened
even in extreme driving situations
(e.g. full braking, swerving or similar
actions).
The load can be secured in different
ways depending on the trailer type
(See section 4.8 Load-securing com-
ponents, page 30).
• Close and latch all side walls, ramps
and doors.
Inadequately secured load
• Check whether the canvas cover and
frame provide adequate support for
the load.
• Distribute the load on the trailer in
such a way that the load cannot slip.
NOTE
Prior to transporting heavy objects with
small support bases check with your
dealer or the manufacturer to find out
whether the trailer bed is suitable for
such transport.
