Four-Wheel-Steer Trailers 

DS4400 Cap. to 100,000 lbs


 

Four-Wheel-Steer:

Hamilton Four-Wheel-Steer Trailers feature identical fifth-wheel-mounted axles at both ends connected by a steering rod. As the diagram indicates, turning the towing tongue causes the rear wheels to follow the front wheels through a nearly identical path... permitting use of more trailers and/or narrower intersecting aisles than either caster-steer or ordinary fifth-wheel-steer trailers.


Consult factory or local distributor for purchasing information.

  Reversible Towing Tongue

A popular option on the four-wheel-steer trailer is a reversible towing tongue. Hounds at both ends of the trailer are fitted with quick-release pins that permit moving the towing tongue from one end to the other. This permits reversing direction of the trailer or train with no turn-around space. Note that if multiple reversible fourwheel- steer trailers are to be towed in train, they must be equipped with pintle hitches at both ends.
