Four lifting straps capable of safely supporting the total weight of the TL50 (2000kg) and being 2.4m long

It is important that before commencing transport to ensure the vehicle used is capable of towing 2000kg.
The TL50 is a road approved vehicle and therefore may be transported behind a motor vehicle of suitable
towing capacity. It is recommended that the vehicle used should have a tow bar where the top of the ball is
at a height of between 1.42 ft (435 mm) and 1.64 ft (500 mm) above surface level. These dimensions are
important for the following reasons;
1. The bottom of the Platform may be in danger of hitting the surface while driving if the tow hitch is above
the upper limit.
2. The towing vehicle will support too much weight if the Towhitch is too low.
