According to Hendrickson, a vehicle equipped with a front steer axle (like the Hendrickson STEERTEK and STEERTEK NXT) can be towed by any of the following methods for on-highway or on-roadway applications. The following are listed in order of preference by Hendrickson.
Method 1: Wheel lift (ideal towing procedure)
Method 2: Towing the vehicle from the rear
Method 3: conventional axle fork lift *
Method 4: Spring eye and hanger lift (may require the remove of fairings)
Hendrickson says it also recommends an alternative axle fork method for its STEERTEK NXT that requires standard tow forks and designated lift points. The company outlines the method below.
