Crane draw-bar trailer. We have been trying to find out whether there should be safety chains between the drawing unit and trailer, but so far no one can give us the answer. Can you?
jtk You do not legally require safety chains
between your lorry and draw-bar trailer, but we feel that their fitment is a very wise precaution particularly on old equipment fitted with a pin and eye towing attachment. Of course the chains should be fitted from the trailer dolly, and should be crossed.
We would draw your attention to the Motor Vehicle (Construction and Use) Regulations 1966, regulation 60 of which covers trailer brakes.
