Flatbed Equipment Hauler With Steerable Rear Axle MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 18-3-25 French manufacturer Cochet came up with this flatbed trailer fitted with an electrohydraulic steerable rear axle that's con-trolled by a sensor on the tractor drawbar.
A single hydraulic cylinder controls a tie rod on the back axle of the trailer, which is designed to drop flat to the ground. Flow of fluid to the steering cylinder is controlled by a mechanically-activated sensor on the drawbar that turns the trailer's rear axle as the tractor turns, allowing much sharper turns in the field. The new-style steering axle could be fitted to other lengthy equipment.
