License dongles (one computer versions)
Rockey4ND dongles
We are using Rockey4ND Dongles for one-computer versions. These new dongles
doesn´t require separate installation disc, the installation will start automatically
when dongle is attached first time to the computer. Just attach the dongle and wait
until the light stops blinking.
Sentinel dongles
Old type dongles (Sentinel) will still work on TrailerWIN and they don´t need to be
switched, both versions dongles are supported and can be used on same computer.
However these Sentinel keys need a separate driver that can be downloaded from our
homepage www.trailerwin.com under the button “Support-Drivers”. Use this driver on
both updating on old computer and installation on a new PC. Please note that
sometimes the installation of a new driver requires you to restart the computer.
License & Use of software

You may use the TRAILER CONSULTATION Computer Software on one or more computers in one
office or in one factory area. You may use the TRAILER CONSULTATION Computer Software on a
computer network when the network is working only in one office or in one factory area. Usually
the printout text shows the licensed owner and user of the software. All other use, on other
companies, addresses, locations strictly forbidden !
You may not make any changes or modifications to this or any of the TRAILER CONSULTATION
Computer Software or databases. You may not decompile, disassemble, or otherwise reverse
engineer the TRAILER CONSULTATION Computer Software. You may not rent or sell or lease or
copy it to anyone.
Yearly update
The program is continuously updated with new features and new models. Therefore, the
program should be updated regularly once per year. The updating policy is cumulative,
which means that you will have to pay for skipped years if you have not ordered an update
the previous year(s). The license will expire after 5 years and then it is necessary to buy a
license reactivation.
Multiple updates during the year

To meet the request for several updates during the year we have now introduced this as a
standard method to keep the software up‐to‐date. For a small extra fee (approx. 20% of the
normal update price) you can order additional updates during the year if you need to get
new products and trucks into your program. This fee will be charged also when ordering a
replacement update on other media (download link instead of USB) or the company name
and/or company logo is changed during the calendar year. Contact your dealer for more
information.

Outdated version & license expiration

Outdated version message
If you are running an old version of TrailerWIN the program
will show you a message at startup reminding about
updating to new version. When you see this message,
contact your dealer for an update.
License expiration and

Rockey4ND key ID
The TrailerWIN license is valid for 5
years, if you haven´t updated the
program you will get a message of
license expiration. You can check
the date for expiration in Help-
TrailerWIN info. After this date the
program will switch to DEMO mode
automatically and you need to
purchase a license re-activation in order to get it
running in full mode again. In this list you can also
see the Rockey4ND key ID nr and licensed company
ID.
Important Notice for TrailerWIN Setup

If you see an error message during the first part of installation that says “file operation with *.DLL
file cannot be made” the problem is likely to be the level of user access (Administrator rights).
(Please note the error message can differ depending on your operating environment.)
In some cases, installation of TrailerWIN to Windows Vista, Win 7, Win 8 & Win 8.1 or Win 10
operating environments can occur only if you are logged on as Administrator.
Hard Disk Space needed for TrailerWIN

There are many improvements in this version of TrailerWIN compared to previous versions of the
program. New models of trucks and extra equipment have been added to the program.
Consequently, the size of the TrailerWIN data files has grown and they will take up more space
on the hard disk of your computer.
It is recommended that you have at least 15 GB of free space on the hard disk before installing
the TrailerWIN.
Please note that if your hard disk is almost full it makes your computer slow and unstable.

Installing the new update from USB card

due to a security reason. The installation must be started manually.
1 Insert the USB-card into the USB port.
Caution! Be careful not to bend the contactor up or down when plugging into USB.

Menu Truck
Chassis
Choosing Chassis or editing Chassis data.

You choose the Chassis in three phases: The
make .... Model ... Wheelbase /
Cab variations. The model list is
in alphabetical order and you
can jump in the list by holding
down “Ctrl”-button and press
the first letter in the truck
name, for example to jump to
“Volvo” press Ctrl-V a few times
and you will get Volvo models.
After choosing the model and

wheelbase you can control and
edit weight and dimension data.
Please note that the data in our

database is based on a basic
vehicle with one option of axles
and without extra equipment.
Therefore the weights and
dimensions might differ. Always
check and update the values
due to the specifications for the
actual vehicle from the
manufacturer.
Chassis data is taken from

technical datasheets. We can't
give any guarantees about this
data.

Update Mercedes data from Bodybuilder portal Json-file into TrW

In TrailerWIN all the new Mercedes Benz models are displayed without their own weights. This is
done because the weights are very different depending on what specifications the customer
chooses on the vehicle.
In version 2023-05 we have now made a function so you can import data from JSON-file from
Mercedes BB-portal into TrailerWIN. This will update the data to the specified vehicle data in BB-
portal.
Create the vehicle in Mercedes Bodybuilder portal

To get the data for the truck, you are advised to go to the MB bodybuilder website, login and
define truck specifications due to instructions on Bodybuilder portal. Then click on “Technical data
sheet”:

Finalize the specifications by defining additional selections in next window and press “Generate
data sheet”:
Choose “Export data”
This creates a .json-file into your Downloads-folder on your computer. Save this file and use for
example BM-code in filename for easier localization later.

Importing the .json file data into TrailerWIN

In TrailerWIN you start to first choose same Mercedes model so you need to localize a model with
same first 6 digits in BM-code, wheelbase isn´t important now as we will update the data from the
saved .json file.
Press the “Json”-button and go to your Downloads-folder to find the recently saved .json-file and
click “Open”:
The data will now update with the

information from the .json-file created in
Bodybuilder portal.
Note ! If you have pre-selected a truck with
wrong BM-code you will get a warning and
you need to do a new selection, this due to
the fact that TrW reads basic model
information from our own database that
isn´t yet present in the .json file presented in
the portal.
If all is correct you will now get updated

truck data and also correct cab selected for
the truck.
Data that can be updated are:
- Full baumaster-code (BM)

- Wheelbase and axle distances
- Front and rear overhang
- Frame height over road
- Cab type
- Cab height over frame
- Cab rear wall position
- Permissible axle loads per axle.
- Permissible gross mass for truck.
- Curb weights front and rear axle.
- Wheel radius

Scania data 2013-2017

When selecting SCANIA
2013 -> models You will get
new information to select.
Now You also have to
choose the gearbox-type
from a dropdown list.
Different type of gearbox
have different weight.
On rear-axles we also have
different final-drive options
to choose, the same Rear
axle can have 2 options.
Final drive type is in the last
code on rear axle
description (ex: R660).
Choosing the truck model is

started with menu's from
up to down. For example in the following order:
1. Model series type

2. Cabin model series and engine ( P13 means P type cabin, 13 litre engine)
3. on same row chassis / suspension for example SA
4. Cabin
5. on same row Gearbox
6. Wheelbase and after that You can choose axles/Final drive etc.
It is important to choose these in this order, because the choices made in the top menus will
change the possible options in dropdown-boxes below.
Under the picture of the truck You can choose the axle types. For rear axle You can also select
final drive.
Allowed weights: Allowed front axle weight, allowed rear axle weight and allowed total weight are
defined by chosen axles, unless the common allowed weights are limiting the weights.
For example: If You choose 21000 kg rear axles and your Trailerwin is set on EU-regulations, the
weight will be limited to allowed rear axle weight: 19000 kg.
If You want to use this greater value 21000 kg, You will need to type it manually in field "G.V.W.
rear axle".
Some additional data can be modified by clicking button:

Scania data 2018->

When selecting SCANIA 2018 -> models You will get more information to select. Now You also
have to choose the engine-type and frame type from lists. You also have possibility to give lift-
axles on chassis and to give extra devices weight on front- and rear axles to better meet the
correct weight on customer truck.
Choosing the truck model is started with menu's from up to down and left to right. For example
in the following order:
1. Model series and Axle

configuration
2. Cabin model series and
engine size ( S13 means S
type cabin, 13 litre engine)
3. Engine type
4. Chassis height / suspension
for example NA
5. Frame type
6. Cabin version (more cabins
in cab-window)
7. Gearbox type
8. Wheelbase
9. Specify liftaxles (e.g. 2,3 for more information see liftaxles)
10. Front axle type
11. Rear axle & final drive
12. Extra weight on front axle for devices on truck
13. Extra weight for rear axle
It is important to choose these in this order, because the choices made in the top menus will
change the possible options in dropdown-boxes below and filter out the selections. For help on
selections you can click on the Help-button to get a window with explanations for models.
Allowed weights: Allowed front axle weight, allowed rear axle weight and allowed total weight are
defined by chosen axles, unless the common allowed weights are limiting the weights.
For example: If You choose 21000 kg rear axles and your Trailerwin is set on EU-regulations, the
weight will be limited to allowed rear axle weight: 19000 kg.
If You want to use this greater value 21000 kg, You will need to type it manually in field "G.V.W.

Change and move cabin on truck and add spoilers

You can change and modify truck cab and change the location of cab in horizontal
and in vertical direction.
In menu Truck-Cab you can find additional cab models for all brands. It´s also
possible to change to a cab from another manufacturer in this window.
Here you can also find OEM spoilers if they have been present on the drawings
given to us. The spoilers can be found when placing check-mark in first or second
spoilers-checkbox.
To adjust position of the cab, for example to adjust the cab height, you can give a
value in “+x” or “+y”. You are also able to adjust the cab length by giving a value in
cabs lengthening.
When You change truck cabin this way, only cab drawing changes, weight
information is not changing. You can also use this window to give new (x,y)
coordinates to cab and maybe also lengthen the cab drawing.

In body data program user is able to change the incline length and incline angle.
The Ramp for beaver tail body type can be found in mixed equipment: "Ramp"

Side post places in timber truck body
It is possible to give self the side post placing on timber truck body type.
Following picture shows, the meaning of dimensions dx1, dx2, dx3, dx4, dx5, dx6:
Side post dx 1 = dimension from body start to first side post.
Side post dx 2 = dimension from first side post to second side post.
Side post dx 3 = dimension from second side post to third side post.
Side post dx 4 = dimension from third side post to fourth side post.
Side post dx 5 = dimension from fourth side post to fifth side post.
Side post dx 6 = dimension from fifth side post to sixth side post.
If Side post dx 1 = 0 , in this case TrailerWIN calculates places automatically.

Choosing side doors for the body in truck body or in trailer body

Give the weight in kg/m or total subframe weight in kg.

The centre of the gravity of the subframe is automatically on the middle of the
subframe, but it can also be changed to the some other point.

Subframe weight is calculated on axle weights.

Constructing the subframe in FrameWIN program does not transfer the weight of
subframe automatically to TrailerWIN.
Load
From Menu: Truck – Load (or

Load's centre of gravity) or the
button:
You will get the window below
for the load details.
To move the centre of the

gravity of the load you can
adjust the values in this window.
You can also move the centre of
the gravity of the load by
dragging the load label by
mouse.
In load window you can also give vertical CoG for the load(s), for more details see
Giving CoG for Load and partloads

Multiple loads
You can also have multiple loads on a truck or trailer, this option is
possible when you click on the r adiobutton “Special load”.
If You choose this, You can give load as many separate part loads. Using this option
you give values for every separate part loads: load weight in kg and the place of
the centre of gravity for this load.
You give the centre of gravity from the front axle or from the centre of the rear axle
or rear bogie.
Also note that you can also add loads as boxes or from our large database of load
pictures.

In the side view picture above You can move the load arrows in horizontal direction
to move them forwards or rearwards with mouse. To move in vertical direction you
change the CoG dimension in Load window.

Maximum chassis weights in the picture
Three rows for weight data:

- Unloaded weight including driver
- Loaded weight
- Permitted mass
For front axle unloaded and loaded data row, depending on the user option settings,
you can see the percentage of mass on front axle in {}-brackets. If you have
activated CoG in user option you can also see the CoG in horizontal (x) and vertical
direction (y). For more details for CoG calculation see Vertical CoG calculation for
trucks.

Vertical CoG calculation for trucks

In TrailerWIN you are able to calculate vertical CoG for truck for both empty and
loaded vehicle. The data for vertical CoG is not in TrailerWIN database of equipment
but you can easily give proper values for Truck, body and each accessory from one
single window. The CoG for load is given in Load window where you can specify
separately for partloads to get a calculated total CoG point for the load. To show
CoG calculation on drawing you need to activate “centre of gravitys place Truck” in
User options as default setting for new calculations:
Or activate the function per calculation in Truck-TRUCK / TRACTOR centre of

gravitys place window
The value for CoG is shown after front axle weights in the drawing and as a list of
devices with CoG-distance from ground level.

Giving CoG for Truck, body and equipment

When opening in menu Truck – TRUCK / TRACTOR centre of gravitys place you will
get a window showing CoG table with chassis and accessories. In this window you
can choose & edit CoG:s:
When you click on a device the picture will show the chassis frame and device
chosen. You can see top of the hatched area showing zero-point for selected device,
can also be seen on scale on right side. To edit CoG, fill in new value in textbox
“CoG Y” and confirm by clicking on “Redraw”. New CoG for truck total will
immediately calculate.
Exporting data for CoG calculation

In Truck CoG window you can save the CoG window as
BMP-file, take picture onto Windows clipboard or export
the data from the CoG calculation to a textfile

Giving CoG for Load and partloads

When opening Load-window you can give the vertical CoG position for all type of
loads. The load arrow can be dragged in Y-direction for setting CoG and in X-
direction to give horizontal position for the load in the list.
Load boxes will have CoG in half of the height when resized, this can be edited by
moving the label up or down or give position in list of loads. When selecting load
picture you can give the vertical position for the load in the datalist for the loadpicture

List of equipment on drawing

(Truck CoG function not activated)
When CoG Truck function isn´t activated you will find a list of devices on the truck in
a moveable textbox:
The textbox can be moved by dragging the gray -handle, the textbox can be

Mirroring mixed equipment

You can mirror equipment in
TrailerWIN. With mirroring the
complete drawing will be turned
around it´s zero-point and the CoG
position will be also turned opposite
way. In some cases mirroring will flip
the drawing around it´s first point and
when zero-point is in the middle of
the equipment it will simply mirror the drawing.
Demountables, Hooklifts
For choosing the Hooklifter or some other demountable, you can check the details
(how much there is place available etc) in the preview picture.
Hooklift stability
TrailerWIN calculates the axle weights when hookliftbody’s weight and payload
weight is on the rolls or on tipping axle. Weights can be seen under the picture.
Note ! Hooklift stability calculation don´t use the calculation method in DIN
30722-1.

Tipping cylinders
In TrailerWIN you have possibility to define
both tipping hinge and position for the tipping
cylinder. You can move tipping cylinder also in
height direction by giving dy-measure. A
positive value moves the tipping cylinder
upwards and a negative value moves the
cylinder down. For front tipping gear we have
also added the possibility to move the cylinder backwards into the tipping body. This is useful
when the front tipping cylinder is built within the tipping body. For trailers the rear-overhang will
also be automatically shortened to position of hinge.

Mixed Equipment
In the Group "Mixed Equipment“ program user can find for example Snow Ploughs.
Mixed equipments
Menu mixed equipment include also sleeper cabin & bull bar
Sleeper cabins and bull bars

Included into program menu:
“mixed equipment”
Feature especially for the
Australian B-doubles
and road trains.

Weight table
The weight calculation data in table format.

The dimensions of the centre of gravity x is measured from the centre of the first
axle. You cannot edit data in this table.

Chassis Frame Overhang

Fifth Wheel Coupling / Trailer Coupling
Choosing Fifth Wheel Coupling or Trailer Coupling. The program calculates optimum
place for fifth wheel coupling. For trailer coupling you can give position in different
ways:
1. Measure from rear axle to trailer coupling,
2. Measure from bogie centre to trailer coupling,
3. Measure from tipping axle in case we have hooklift or tipping gear selected
4. Measure from trailer coupling to body rear wall.
5. Position in vertical direction from frame or from road
6. Weight of the trailer coupling in kg.
Trailer Coupling can be located on the chassis frame or under the chassis frame.
You can choose the Frame Overhang. By clicking on the buttons you can choose
the frame overhang as chassis original frame overhang or overhang to body rear.
Give position of towing coupling in Y-direction

You can now give the position of the towing bar in Y-direction. The value is calculated
from the midpoint of the frame and a
negative value moves the towing bar
lower.
You can also use the radio-buttons for

standard height positions.

Rear Overhang Max Min Warning Limits
On the Chassis Data Window you have now four new data fields.
Overhang Max = Maximum allowed overhang for this chassis

Overhang Min = Minimum allowed overhang for this chassis
Loadpoint y Max = Center of the Gravity of Loading, Maximum from rear axle
Loadpoint y Min = Center of the Gravity of Loading, Minimum from rear axle
At the beginning all the values are 0.

Chassis data files do not include these
values.
If you have typed some values for

these limits, you will get warnings, if
overhang or y is over or under the
limits.
You can turn this function ON / OFF

from Menu - Options - User Options

Loadcurve
The load curve shows, how much you need to decrease load, if the center of the
gravity of the load is not on correct place.
The load curve is now also shown in red and blue, depending
on if the front-axle weight (red) or the rear-axle weight (blue)
limits the load. When checking the box “Axle weights” below the
picture, You can also see the actual front-axle and rear-axle weight at a specific
point when the vehicle is loaded according to the weight shown on the load-curve.
The coordinate window shows the distance from the body start point and the
kg:s to the point where the mouse pointer is on the diagram. With this it´s
easy to check the allowed load for a specific point of the body. For example
On this picture you can read, that if the centre of the gravity of the load is located
2500 mm from the front wall of the body, you should have 2000 kg less load for
preventing overloading on the front axle.
For Centre Axle trailers You can also give

minimum and maximum towing coupling
weight to get a load curve meeting the
allowed weights for the towing coupling.

Deloading Curve
Deloading Curve shows, how the axle loads are changing when you take load away
from the rear of the body. For example this curve shows that when you have 50% of
body loaded, the front axle weight of the vehicle is approx 9 000 kg and rear axle
weight 9 500 kg when we at a full loaded (100%) have below 7 000kg on front axle
and 19 000kg at rear axle. This curve is useful for choosing right front axle capacity
for the truck.
In this diagram you can also use the mouse cursor to see distance from body
startpoint and the actual load value the cursor is pointing on. Note that the cursor
position will determine the weight in coordinate window, not the curve itself.

Rear loading-curve/weight table (waste compactor vehicles)
Now You can see a loading situation where the load is added from rear of the body. The
diagram shows front and rear-axle weights during loading and also percentage of weight
on front axle during loading. The area where front-axle weight is below 20% of total weight
the diagram is hatched. On right side You also see a table with weights during loading the
compactor from rear end.

Truck Turning
Truck turning, outer turning radius and kerb radius on max steering wheel angle.
Default value for max steering angle is in the picture below 50 degrees. The user
can change this value. The correct value depends on the truck model.
Features in turning calculation

For calculating turning there are now some
new features implemented. Chassis data has
new data: “Front track”, default value 2000
mm. If data is available TrailerWIN shows the
track for actual truck selected.
In Turning window the static turning picture

all angles for turning axles are shown, for
inner- and outer wheel and mid-angle.
When looking at Truck turning separately

You now also see front track measure on the
picture. There are also new features for
defining turning angles.
1. Calculating turning to Ackermann

principle:
Give max
turning angle
for inner
wheel in
textbox 1 and
press the ok-button to the right of the
textbox. The program then calculates
turning so that the outer wheel tangent
points to the middle of the turning circle.
2. Calculating turning for max angles on

inner and outer wheel: Give max angles
for inner wheel in textbox 2 and for
outer wheel in textbox 3 and press the
ok-button in the light gray area. The
program defines turning between the
tangents for inner and outer wheel.
If the max-angles are given for the

vehicle the calculation is defined using them at first opening. If angles are not given in vehicle
data, the values are 0 and the turning calculation is done using 50° in Ackermann calculation.

Corner clearance calculation when towing bar is behind the end of the
body
The corner-clearance calculation has been re-fined for trucks with towing coupling behind the
end-point of the body. Minimum corner clearance is calculated for situations where the truck is
turned in 90° angle towards towing bar on trailer. The corner-movement is drawn as 2 short arcs
to show where the corner of the truck rear end will be closest to the front corner of the trailer.
The measure is calculated when the truck is 90° towards towing bar.

Adding Axles and Changing Axle Properties
From menu Truck – Truck Axles

program user can choose some axle details and also add more axles.
Example:
We choose at
first the basic
vehicle, in this
example a 6x4
chassis.
Click Menu
Truck – Truck
Axles

In Truck Axles Window:

Click Menu Edit - Add an axle
Click Arrow button on combo box “Add an axle” and then choose the axle to add.
There are 3 possibilities given in the menu:
Add front axle
Add rear axle forwards from the original rear axles (pusher axle)
Add rear axle backwards from the original rear axles
Depending on truck type, the all of the possibilities are maybe not enabled.
You can build a truck with 2 front axles and 4 rear axles.
In this example we choose a pusher axle.

Fill the technical data for the new axle and check new chassis weights and new
Gross Vehicle Weights.
TrailerWIN calculates the default value for new chassis weights on front and rear.
Check, if You can accept this value or type your own value.
You can also choose, is the new axle steered or not.
It is also possible to have different wheel radius on extra axles.

You can type wheel radius values on the row “wheel radius”.

Now the chassis has a pusher axle with small wheels.
We can also add an extra front axle.

Fender type
Menu Truck – Fender
gives You a possibility to choose different
types of fenders or make a truck without
fenders.
In Fender Window
you can choose

Building Panel Vans in TrailerWIN
When You build Panel

Vans in TrailerWIN there
are a few steps to do
before You can start
adding equipments and
make load calculations.
In TrailerWIN You
normally always add a
body to the chassis before
You make any weight
calculations etc. The same
is for Panel Vans, first thing
is to define the load space
(=body).
First we add a box-body and
in next body details window we modify following values:
Body weight kg/m -> 0 (or to
weight of possible added
innerpanels or similar)
Body width to width of vehicle.
We accept by clicking “Ok”
button and go back to main-
window. Now we have a body
added onto the Van, now we
have to adjust the position,
length and height to suit the
load-space of the Van. This is easiest to do by dragging the handles on the picture:
1. Move the body-start to

where load-space
starts behind the cab.
2. Adjust the height of
body to the roof of the
Van
3. Adjust the length of the
body to back-door of
the Van

4. The result should be

something like this:
Now we can “hide” the body,
select from the Menu Truck-
Body Type to open the body-
type window again and select
the “crossed” body type:
Now we have defined the load-

space for the Panel Van and we
can now see that TrailerWIN
calculates load to the Van. Now
we can also add equipments as
tailgate lifters and cooling
machines. These are equipment types that are bounded to the body. Tailgate lifter
will always be added to the end of the body and cooling machines to the upper
corner of the body. Without doing the previous steps these equipments will be set to
front-axle and can´t be placed correctly.
Note that You might need to adjust the dy-measure of the tailgate lifter to get it
installed in correct height position. You can also adjust needed space between body
and tailgate lifter in order to get the x-position correct.
Below an example where we have added tailgate lifter and cooling machine to
previous example:

Trailer Measures And Dimensions

If you have already chosen the trailer, you can edit dimensions and weights.
- Front corner of the Trailer can be chamfered.

For doing it type dimension dx (longitudinal) and dz (latitudinal) in mm.

Body / Bodytype for semitrailer

Choosing body type and / or axle number of the trailer
Tank Semitrailer
It is possible to give
different heights for
the front and for the
rear of the tank
semitrailer. The point
of the change you can
give with “x_step”
(mm to the back from
the king pin) and the
height difference with
“y_step” .

Container
To change Container-Length or Container-Location (changing Body overhang) do

not automatically change the center of the gravity to the center of the Container.
Note that containers might be added as a load picture from load-window as well.
CityTrailer
One axle semitrailer with steeraxle.
The picture shows the principle of the steering system.

For finding the correct linkage geometric, you have to give
the correct maximum steering axle on trailer rear axle, also
steering angle in this situation when the angle on fifth wheel (A) is 90 degrees.
Typically values for the maximum steering angle on the trailer axle are 26, 30, 35, 40
degrees. TrailerWIN uses 30 as default. When needed change it from Trailer Data
window (Trailer Button or Menu Trailer - Measures ).

You can select dolly with rigid drawbar in trailer-menu. When you
put checkmark in “Dolly” you will get separate row to give weight for
dolly and also calculation for V-value for trailer coupling. For dolly
with articulated drawbar, leave this checkbox unchecked.

Trailer type and combination ETT

A combination type ETT is available in TrailerWIN. (not available in US-versions)
This trailer type can be used for all body-

types. This trailer type can also be used in
CornerWIN for turning calculations.
Load on trailer
You can edit the centre of gravity of

the load on semitrailer or trailer. You
are also able to move it with the
mouse from the picture.
Devices on trailers
Rear mounted
crane on trailers
The option to select
rear-mounted crane
on Trailers is
disabled, to mount
crane on rear of
trailer, choose Crane
at front and modify
startpoint for crane to
meet specifications needed.
Rear mounted cranes can only be used for on trucks.

Lift axle situations on centre axle trailers

For centre axle trailers You can now see towing bar weights and rear axle weights when
You have lift-axles. You have additional data in Trailer-data window:
1. First You now see

weights on towing bar and
rear axles including
equipments, this is the
same as You see in the
main-window. You can
only change the own
weight for the trailer itself,
program calculates the
total weight depending on
the equipments added.
2. Front axle lifted –

situation. Here You see
how the weights are on
trailer coupling and rear-
axle if You have a lift-axle
at front and this is lifted.
The weights are
calculated for trailer with
equipment but without load. You can also see the measure from trailer coupling to
boggie steering centre with lifted axle.
3. Rear axle lifted – situation. Same calculation as previuos but here we have only
rearmost axle lifted.
These weights are only in this data window and doesn´t come on outprints.

Lift axle function in TrailerWIN

In TrailerWIN you can find a
feature for calculating weight and
turning with axles lifted. You can also switch into
CornerWIN and do turning simulations with axles
lifted. This feature works for rear axles on trucks, full
trailers and semitrailers on both first and second
trailer. For centre axle trailers you can use this
function only for first trailer and turning calculation is
possible only in TrailerWIN.
To use this function, first select a truck (or trailer)

and in chassis data window give lift-axles separated
with comma starting with first rear axle. The axle
numbers are calculated from first front axle so for a
3 axle truck the first rear axle will be “2”. If we for
example have a 4-axle truck with first and last rear
axles steered we will give lift axles: “2,4”. When
we then check the checkbox we can see a
calculation with axles lifted.

To make the turning simulation with lifted axles, simply specify the lift axles in TrW and
check the “Axle lifted” checkbox.
When moving into CornerWIN the lifted axle situation will be automatically set so you can
do turning simulations directly with lifted axles in CornerWIN. Please note that if you have
selected a center
axle trailer you
are not able to
simulate axle
lifted in
CornerWIN. For
such combination
you can also see
turning picture in
TrailerWIN.
Measures to boggie COG

These measures come visible if the boggie weight center is on a different location
than the geometric center of the axles. These measures are used in stability
calculation for HCT vehicles in Finland. The measures will be shown in brown color
to differ from the axle distance measures.

Devices for the second trailer
You can also choose devices (equipments)

for the second trailer in the combination. You
find this in trailer menu “2. Trailer: Devices”
Trailer without truck

If You want to calculate the trailer without truck, you can choose trailer type when
you start the calculation:
.
You can add the truck later.

Demount Trailer.
You can also demount a trailer from a combination. From Trailer menu choose:
Demount trailer. Note that you need to demount second trailer before demounting
the first one.
Turning calculation
Static turning calculation for the combination in the 12.5m radius circle.
In the picture you can also see the theoretical steering angles.
Circles R=2100 mm and R=2300 mm ( Center in the centre of the Fifth Wheel
Coupling ) show the needed free spaces to cab and to chassis rear frame.
For long combinations you usually need to do a turning simulation 180° or 120° in
CornerWIN program.


The arcs between body and trailer show how the corners can move.
If you have rear lifter or / and refrigerator the radius of the arc is chosen to the corner
farthest out.
If You do not want

to have the text
Corner Clearance
… on the printout,
You can turn it off
using check box
“Corner clearance”
under the turning
picture.
If You do not want

to have “Optimum

Coordinate window in TrailerWIN turning picture
In turning picture you see now a coordinate window. It shows the place for mouse
cursor in polar coordinates. You are able to measure dimensions in the picture.
On the starting point (point 1): Push Left Mouse Button down, hold it down and move
mouse to the end point (point 2). Coordinate windows shows the measurement and
direction from point 1 to point 2. In the example picture 555 < 49 means
measurement 5555mm to the angle 49 degrees.

Corner clearance calculation when towing bar is behind the end of

the body
The corner-clearance calculation has been re-fined for trucks with towing coupling behind the
end-point of the body. Minimum corner clearance is calculated for situations where the truck is
turned in 90° angle towards towing bar on trailer. The corner-movement is drawn as 2 short arcs
to show where the corner of the truck rear end will be closest to the front corner of the trailer.

The measure is calculated when the truck is 90° towards towing bar.
Corner clearance for center

axle trailers
When building a center axle trailer you will
have a warning if the corner distance is
below 250mm. Please note that TrW can´t
recognize all situations and especially when
there is a full body on truck & trailer and
cooling machine or other device at front of
the trailer it is a big risk that corners can
touch if the combination is driving downhill
onto a flat surface on a turn.

Body rear corner

movement to the
side
On the turning picture

you can see now also
the movement of the
body rear corner.
Number in brackets
