[RobieVons]

Can I legally drive back with this trailer like this? when empty I drover with out loaded as it is but I've been told its illegal is this true? because to me its the same as a flat bed or if I was to strap my curtains back on a really windy day.

[chVeteran]

Crack on make sure its strapped safe

both you and I might think it’s ok but the law may say something different because those who make the law have no common sense.

[cowMadd]

As long as it's secure, shouldn't be a problem.

[Ros4lysaro]

It’s fine aslong as it’s secured tightly across the back you shouldn’t have any bother seen plenty of them kicking about & never heard of or seen one being stopped yet.

[priestHodey]

It should be fine as long as as your weight is okay.

[Jrba]

That's the purpose of the design.

[RALPERIC]

I got the same trl been all over europe with it empty and open and never had a problem its designed to be run like that with the straps and 2 bars

[Foolhardy]

Your call nobody else's

[stevest]

YES

well I've been driving trucks for 25 or so years and I've driven all sorts but never with one of those trailers , I would say myself that as long as it's secure I can't see an issue but if your in doubt put it back as if loaded until you've got a correct answer

new driver or not so long as what ever is on your trailer is secure it's fine. Which is common sense.

[DawnZee]

Yes you can

[MartJumpstart]

Me personally would strap it and make sure it’s secure and the bed of the trailer is swept clean can’t see how it’s not legal

[jaspurGade]

think the poor bloke just want attention about an trailer that's already 25 years old ....

[EmbEmery]

I’d put 2 straps on it both over the top diagonally to each side just like you would at the rear of a load

[blaz8onei]

Hmm I'm sure this trailer was designed illegally.... Jesus christ

[RobieVons]

Hmm I'm sure this trailer was designed illegally.... Jesus christ

right and what if it was only designed to be used open when loaded wyh a load too large for the curtains then closed when empty im not a f**kin know it all like nost on this group never seen or pulled one so why do lads have to straight jump all over someone for trying to get informed before doing something

it's designed to work as both, curtainsider and flat bed. It runs on rails to be folded. Why would it be illegal? If it was illegal would companies like dfds run them? It's common sense

[maucheTOP]

Yes you can its like driving a curtain sider with the curtain open

[Davelefa]

Yes you can its like driving a curtain sider with the curtain open

shedding roof panels along the road at 56 mph?

[maucheTOP]

I've done it loads of times never once had that

[Davelefa]

it happened to one of our drivers with the curtains closed. The truck was old with a fibreglass roof so it was on its last legs.

[Ilimanter]

If the curtains are secure then yes , you can drive it

[JIMRGENS]

I would say strap it up tight and crack on , I have seen other people do it and the continentals do it regularly..

[LanniUncanny]

I can't see it being illegal, BUT I'm not an expert ,
If it's easy enough to close it back up just do it ,
If not leave it as it is I would go with me gut feeling and say it's ok to run empty like that

[Katrac]

The only issue is were your coming from is the a 4metre height limit does the sheet no go higher than that maybe 4.2 now problem in belg germany austria etc

[gaspe-2356]

if only I knew what forces is he measuring

[sprinGorks]

Why not ask the firm you're pulling it for? It has to be better to get their official line rather than a couple of dozen opinions. My twopenneth worth would be if it's secure then its fine.

[Wrathy-ron]

Just put a cross around the back for your price of mind increase it slides back . Job done

[ashle_mo]

Cross straps on so carnt move and crack on

[penlZerfo]
