Tractor Unit Safety

A trailer mounted Sidelifter should not be operated unless a tractor unit is coupled to it for stability purposes.

Always apply the vehicle park brake before operating the Sidelifter.

Never overload axles.

Regularly check tyre pressures. Incorrect tyre pressure reduces driving performance and increases tyre wear.

SBnote

When some tractor unit park brakes are applied they stop providing air to the Sidelifter. Sidelifters with a powerpack need an air supply to operate the pneumatic throttle control on the powerpack. If this is the case then apply the Sidelifter park brake rather than the tractor unit park brake.
