Btw the tow ring on trailer is vertical as opposed to horizontal which is how my heavy trailer is configured and pretty much every other one I have seen?
What is your tow vehicle?
Also it’s pretty dangerous to run without wheel arches , they are also handy for standing on/mounting reels etc on or using for work space.
Ive used these many times in asia. Im so tall that its only chest high so i try not to make eye contact with people walking by. Ive also had to use the toilets in your pic i had to switch hotels to one with a real toilet.

Tow ring is horizontal Only, being cleaning Chain of gas stations located. Within 10 miles gap, i hire the local goods carrier every move from one station to other. Further in india, using Own vehicle for towing truck is illegal.
That is a fascinating fact (no sarcasm). Sorry if some of my earlier comments were in poor taste. No disrespect was intended.
I guess I am a little surprised that a professional truck driver would even agree to tow your trailer the way it was configured prior to your dismantling it. With the reels hanging forward off the bed, and the absence of fenders over the wheels, it would never pass a safety inspection in the US.
If you search the forum here for “trailer layout”, you’ll see a ton of great threads on how others have laid out their rigs.
Additionally, there’s a facebook group dedicated to just pictures of “pressure washing rigs”.

That looks like a pintle hitch ring and those should always be horizontal. IF that’s what it is…

This is kinda screwy for me. I can’t figure out how it isn’t vertical in that picture.

I have to admit, I have no idea how to tow that trailer. Just curious what the side on the tow vehicle looks like. I know what trailers hitches in US normally look like but that must be something down under.
Nah, they’re used everywhere. Search pintle hitch and it’ll be obvious. They’re great for heavy trailers

Excuse my ignorance then, I am familiar with ball and goose-neck hitches. I don’t think I have even seen that type of hitch. What is it that makes it better than a ball hitch? I looked at some pics and it appears to be similar in concept as a ball just a different method.
Thanks for your info.
Mainly military and farm equipment I think?
Do you transport will the water tank full of water?

Very common on larger trailers for dump trucks, or even commercial wood chippers. Our wood chipper is a pintle hitch.
