http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGZAiuUpums&feature=user Do we do this in the UK? NB - 53' tralier...

Yes although TBH, it's hardly needed however I know that Parceline guys do it when switching between single and double deck trailers. Virtually every lorry I drive has a sliding fifth wheel. There's a pull handle about 4" in front and below the release handle for the fifth wheel although some units have a button in the cab. We move ours in this country for different reasons to the US because we worked out a close coupled trailer is a hell of a lot more stable and produces less drag.

Do they tell this sort of stuff when you'll learning to drive?

Nope. It's yet another in the long list of things you're "expected to know" however the Drivers CPC is supposed to counter a lot of this and mean that at least a new driver has an idea how to use a ratchet strap.

Do they hell as like. Youve got to figure it out for yourself. McK. > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGZAiuUpums&feature=user > > Do we do this in the UK? Yes. (if you can get it to move due to the rust and crap built up in the teeth) McK. |
