Can the trailer remain attached to the support truck with a simple pintle hook attachment?
A low-cost pintle hook attachment may become detached from a support truck during some high-energy impacts. However, when used with the recommended heavy duty safety chains, the TTMA-100 will remain attached to its support truck, even under severe impact conditions. Hence, the trailer will remain attached to the rear of the support truck and not pose a problem to construction workers or adjacent traffic.
