Pole Carrying Recommendations

The following guide indicates the recommended pole trailer length for each pole shown. If your trailer isn't long enough,
to carry the desired pole, you will need to use a pole muzzle (subject to your company's accepted practice) or use a longer trailer.
If requirements include carrying longer poles than recommended ger poles within the confines of the extendible tongue, we have
three options. One option is increasing the overall length of the trailer and extension. A second option is relocating the
undercarriage rearward a maximum of 2'. The third option simply lowers the target tongue weight. If 10% or 15% tongue weight
transfer is desired, substitute 1.10 or 1.15 respectively for 1.20 in the equation. Tongue weight is an important consideration.
Too much can raise rear truck axle weights to unacceptable levels and unload the front axle, causing steering and control
problems. Too little tongue weight will result in reduced trailer control while towing.
