Proposal to allow for a vertical load up to 80 kg for drawbar coupling designs with a jaw that pivots about the horizontal transverse axis because such configurations are commonly used in fire trucks and other special use vehicles in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Proposal for a higher vertical load for drawbar couplings with a jaw that pivots about the horizontal transverse axis.

Draft text to introduce provisions for minimum articulation of couplings in order to prevent damage from maneuvers that exceed coupling capacities.
