Can a Trailer Rope Be Tied to a Torsion Beam Rear Suspension?
1 Answers
A trailer can be attached to a torsion beam rear suspension, but there are some regulations that need to be followed. Small passenger vehicles can tow a trailer weighing less than 700kg without carrying passengers. Regulations for towing a disabled vehicle: the towed vehicle must not carry any passengers other than the driver and must not tow another trailer. The width of the towed vehicle must not exceed that of the towing vehicle. When using a soft-connection towing device, the distance between the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle should be between 4 and 10 meters. Both the towing and towed vehicles must activate their hazard warning lights, and the towed vehicle should also use its turn signals when turning. Automotive cranes and wheeled special machinery are not allowed to tow vehicles; instead, a trailer should be used for transportation. Notes on attaching the towing rope: for a split-type towing hook, ensure it is correctly assembled to prevent detachment during driving. Avoid using rigid towing bars, as they can bear excessive force. When using flexible rope connections, ensure not to tie a dead knot; use a releasable knot instead. The towing speed should not be too high; it is safer to drive at a lower speed with higher torque.
