How To Adjust Skelly Trailer For 20’ Container

[@dhenbhoy]

Thanks for the information on how to do it... Handy to know.

[@cerberusk9uk]

No problem!

[@dhenbhoy]

@@cerberusk9uk Do you know why you need to adjust the skelly to seat the container in the middle, for travelling on the road, when empty? Why can't you leave it at the back?

[@cerberusk9uk]

I don’t think it’s a ‘ legal’ requirement but please research further for your own peace of mind.

Thanks mate. Training tomorrow morning for this so this has given me a bit of a head start.

[@cerberusk9uk]

Best of luck!

Ahhh OK so each number tells you which one to use for different lengths of container? Ive got an assessment thursday but never worked containers since i started driving.

Thank you too

I get that a fully loaded container sat over the rear axles can put enormous pressure on the rear tyres and possibly exceed axle weight limits, so it needs to be adjusted for travelling any distance on the road.
Why do you need to do it with an empty container and these issues do not exist?
