Steering axles on trailer.

[Flybynighter]

How do I use the steering axles on trailers? I am not useing any mods, just purchased a trailer with steerable axles, but dont know how to use them.

If axles are lowered, the steering axle will automatically steer in the right direction if you turn the steering wheel, this applies for forwarding and reversing.

Ah thanks, I was expecting more of a crabwalk ability, type of thing, as opposed to just a follow along.

It is made to help getting around in tight places with a semi. (Sorry for the music)

The crabwalk type are for special transport like huge stuff:

Who knows? SCS is about to release special transport DLC, so maybe there is some crabwalk trailer involved. On the other hand, I'm not sure if anything like it is present in ETS2, which, obviously, delivers all the physics and assets for ATS.

Btw afaik the axles in ATS are turning actively, which means that turning steering wheel will cause said axles to turn immediately. There are also passively turning axles which turn only to follow the direction the trailer is pulled in; turning steering wheel alone will not turn the axle.

CZ_bpk Yeah, Some of the delivery areas are fairly tight, thats why I was hoping for the crap type steering. Hopefully in the future.

randomizer. the trailer I am using seems to be passive turning. they dont move with the truck steering, only when a side strain from turning comes on them.

Very late reply, but for me it's backslash. (\) Not sure if I edited this or not. Had the same wonder lol.
