Link-up arrangement


When linking two or more trailers to a towing unit, always hook the heaviest trailer directly to the tractor. The lightest trailer should be the furthest away from the towing unit. This rule applies no matter how long each trailer is. If the trailers are not joined according to weight, the unit will be unstable. The rear trailer will sway and control of the unit could be lost.
