What is the maximum number of fully loaded trolleys or container trailers that can be towed?

The maximum number of fully loaded trolleys or container trailers that can be towed is six. This limit has been established for safety reasons, as towing more than this number can significantly increase the difficulty of maneuvering, braking, and managing the overall balance of the vehicle.

When towing multiple trailers, the driver must consider factors such as visibility, the turning radius, and the braking distance. Each additional trailer adds weight and length, which can affect the control of the vehicle and increase the risk of accidents. Regulations are in place to ensure that operators can handle their loads safely in the airside environment, which can be congested and unpredictable. Maintaining this limit is crucial for operational safety on the airfield, where quick reactions and precise control of vehicles are vital for preventing incidents.

Understanding these safety protocols and regulations is essential for anyone operating in areas where heavy equipment and vehicles are common.
