Loading and operation
Air suspension, winch and hydraulic loading flap
Air suspension improves combination stability and driving comfort, particularly on uneven roads. Lowering the semi-trailer reduces the loading angle and facilitates loading sports cars, lowered vehicles and vehicles with a long front overhang.
The electric winch enables safe loading of vehicles that cannot drive onto the platform under their own power.
The optional full-width hydraulic loading flap shortens setup time and reduces manual ramp handling.
Loading immobilised vehicles
4 wheel skates
The CITY LINER semi-trailer can be equipped with four wheel skates for loading vehicles with locked wheels. They make it easier to move an immobilised vehicle on the platform while using the winch.
