Talk:Dolly (trailer)

message: Is I.T.E.C. a standards body (as in "the I.T.E.C H-dolly ...") or a manufacturer? Two of the external links are to pages on http://www.itec-inc.com/ which is not appropriate if they are a manufacturer or vendor. --Scott Davis Talk 12:14, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems to me ITEC is a manufacturer. Relatively clear images, though. Could one write in the link text that it's a commercial link until better is found? G®iffen 15:50, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The commercial links were removed as linkspam a while ago. The only link on the page right now is to a USA government site. --Athol Mullen 22:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm working at the da: translation, and I can't figure out exactly how the "hinged drawbar" in the Australia section works? Where doet it hinge in what direction? Furthermore I'd like to know more about the above mentioned H-dolly - What makes the difference to the A-dolly? G®iffen 15:39, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll try to choose some suitable photos to upload. I have a lot of photos of trucks, trailers, dollies, etc. but will need to choose something that isn't legally privileged. A hinged drawbar means that the drawbar has pivots on both sides just in front of the 1st axle, allowing the front of the drawbar to hinge up and down relative to the dolly frame. The drawbar is shaped like an A when viewed from above, with the coupling at the top and the pivots at the bottom corners. The pivots are often attached directly into the front hangers of the suspension. --Athol Mullen 22:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you, I had the idea, but I wasn't sure. That system is seen at most full trailers I've seen. G®iffen 10:26, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Danish translation

message: I just don't get it.. Is it a term I'm not familiar with or does it really have five wheels? I can't see any fith wheel on the photo and can't really imagine where there should be space for another wheel. Somebody help me.. --|EPO| 20:19, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Fifth wheel refers to the turntable on top of the dolly, as illustrated in the European type dolly trailer photo above. If you click on that photo, the description of it contains the same terminology. Also note that that photo is in commons, and can hence be used in every language wikipedia. --Athol Mullen 22:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In danish for EPO: fifth wheel er det der på dansk kaldes en skammel. Det er koblingsanordningen :-) Jeg undrede mig også i lang tid. G®iffen 10:06, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: D'oh - many thanks to G®iffen for explaning in Danish.. :) --|EPO| 16:18, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
