Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Preparation: Ensure the trailer tailboard and chassis are clean and free of rust or debris.
- Welding: Weld the eye plates to the trailer chassis and the slotted lugs to the tailboard frame.
- Alignment: Position the slotted lugs to align with the eye plates when the tailboard is closed.
- Pin Installation: Insert the cotter pins through the eye plate holes and secure them with the chains.
- Adjustment: Adjust the threaded lugs to minimize play and ensure a snug fit.
Compatibility
This kit is compatible with dropside trailers, tipper trailers, trucks, and horseboxes. The design is intended to work with standard 19mm antiluce fasteners/drop catches. Verify the dimensions provided (weld-on plate - 150mm total length, 50mm width, 5mm thick) to ensure compatibility with your specific trailer.
Care
- Regularly inspect the components for wear, rust, or damage.
- Clean the components periodically to remove dirt and debris.
- Apply a rust-inhibiting coating if needed, especially in harsh environments.
