Ferry problem

[[Food] Hungry Bandit]

The ferry from Chios to Mitilini has an entrance ramp. It's too high for the Kässböhrer K.SLL trailer. (Flatbed trailer that can haul machinery) In the Greece DLC map, this is a major problem, as there's no other way to reach Mitilini besides taking the ferry. There exists one other ferry route to Mitilini, from Kavala, that ferry has a lower ramp.

This was the trailer I brought with:

Have you tried to raise your (truck) suspension to check if that might help with the problem?

I don't think I can on this truck. I'm currently driving the new Iveco S-Way, there's only a 4x2 suspension available. No rear or mid axle to lift on this one.
There's a ferry route from Kavala to Mitilini, which does have a low enough ramp to enter. It's possible with that one to bring a flatbed with small tyres onto the island.
It's a little bit annoying though as the external contracts don't allow you to choose which trailer you want to bring.
Now that I'm aware of the ferry ramp heights, I can remember to plan ahead.

It happened to me with my Schwarzmuler lowloader. I turned round and successfully reversed onto the ferry.

That might be something I need to remember. There is a decent amount of room to turn the truck around and reverse onto the ship. It was the first time I encountered that problem, it kind of confused me. It's the middle part of the trailer that gets stuck on the ramp. I tried to brute force it by moving the trailer to the part where it gets stuck, then disconnecting it, and attaching the trailer back on. The physics didn't enjoy that. Going on the ramp at a higher speed only damaged the truck, so that too didn't work.

I did €3 000 damage to my truck trying to speed on board before I thought about turning round.

.

Im not talking about the mid%rear axle, but the suspension which can be (temporarily) raised/lowered on every truck...even seperat for the front & rear.

I was having the same problem, kind of.

The truck itself got stuck or damaged when I tried it.

Iveco Stralis Hi-way 4x2, even with the suspension all the way up. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not...
Haven't tried another Truck yet.

It is with several ferries in greece. Can't tell which ones exactly right now. But you can clearly see the steep ramp before you try to enter...
