Towing Weight?

[General Baxter]

Would my hatch back, beable to tow rexy's saloon shell on a dolly (rear wheels still on the ground) with out breaking any laws? :thumb:

im sure it wouldnt break any laws - check a manual if unsure on towing weight , hell i dont think any modern coppers would know what the towing weight laws were if they slapped them across the face lol

It shouldn't be a problem.

You've got your class 2 haven't you? IIRC a class 2 puts you under a different set of rules.

If its less than 600kg then yes as I think thats the max towing weight for my 1.2 hatch.

towing weights for nova's are 500kg unbraked, 750kg braked. When using a dolly though it is classed as recovering, I've seen hundreds of small hatches pulling small hatches on dollies.

have you thought about an A-frame? all wheels stay on the ground, but because its a rigid frame the towed car follows the leading car when you take the steering lock off obviously lol

[rednova]

Towing weights are advised to avoid breaking the chassis.
