The
frame assembly
is composed of two formed-steel main rails reinforced by six formed-steel
crossmembers. The
drawbar coupler
is used to couple the trailer to the towing vehicle pintle. The two
handles
are used to manuever the trailer by hand. The two
safety chains
hook to eyebolts on the
towing vehicle to prevent the trailer from fully breaking away. The
landing gear
supports the trailer
tongue when not coupled to the towing vehicle; the
landing gear
is adjustable, has a caster, and has a
swivel mount allowing it to rotate up for added clearance. The four
D-rings
are used to secure the trailer
onto a transport or to lift the trailer. The
multi-leaf springs
cushion road shock.
The
spare wheel
is used to replace a wheel.
The
brake actuator
uses the trailer's momentum to engage the trailer brakes when the towing vehicle
slows down and stops. The
emergency braking breakaway lever and cable
engage the trailer
brakes if the trailer separates from the towing vehicle. The
handbrake lever
is used to engage the
parking brake when the trailer is stopped or parked.
The
intervehicular cable assembly
connects to the towing vehicle’s receptacle.
