Questions Learners Have About Trailer Load & Weight

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Trailer Load & Weight, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

Why is load security so important when towing a trailer in the Netherlands?

Unsecured loads can shift, fall off, or destabilize the trailer, leading to dangerous situations, accidents, and fines. Dutch law mandates proper securing for all loads transported in or on a vehicle, including trailers.

How should heavy items be positioned in a trailer for optimal stability?

Heavy loads should be placed as much as possible directly above the trailer's axle and as low as possible. This helps maintain balance, reduces the risk of swinging, and improves overall stability.

What is 'drawbar load' and why is it critical for trailer safety?

Drawbar load, also known as tow ball weight, is the vertical force the trailer exerts on the tow hitch. Both excessively high or negative drawbar loads are dangerous as they can severely affect steering, braking, and trailer stability, increasing accident risk.

When do I need to cover loose cargo in my trailer in the Netherlands?

Loose cargo that could fall or blow off the vehicle, such as sand or leaves, must always be covered with a net or tarpaulin. This prevents it from creating hazards for other road users and is a legal requirement in the Netherlands.

What happens if the drawbar load is negative?

A negative drawbar load indicates the rear of the trailer is overloaded, causing the trailer to pull the tow bar upwards. This significantly reduces stability, increases the risk of the trailer swinging, and is strictly prohibited in the Netherlands due to safety concerns.

How often should I check my trailer's load security during a journey?

It is crucial to check that your load is properly secured after driving for a while, especially after the first few kilometers. Additionally, it is advisable to check periodically during longer journeys to ensure nothing has shifted.
