2013 Mini Cooper Countryman, Standard TransSECTION Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 BMW X5, 2005 BMW X5, and 2004 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Twin-strut underfloor platforms and twin-pillar lifting platforms are suitable for raising the BMW multi -trailer.
Lifing platforms with drive-on-surfaces are not suitable for raising in order to carry out maintenance and repair work.

The lifting platform must comply with the relevant statutory accident prevention regulations and be serviced according to the manufacturer's instructions. It is essential to follow the lifting platform operating instructions, in particular the safety instructions and carrying capacity!

Before raising the BMW multi-trailer, please observe the following points:

  • Raise the trailer only when it is unloaded
  • Remove a supplied loading ramp from the loading ramp frame so that all chassis areas of the BMW multi -trailer are freely accessible
  • There must be sufficient clearance between the carrier arms/flat girder bridges and the front guard of the BMW multi-trailer.
  • The BMW multi -trailer must always be positioned in the middle of the lifting platform.
CAUTION: You will need special additional supports for the lifting platform in order to bridge the difference in height between longitudinal member and lower edge of front guard of the BMW multi-trailer. The minimum height of the additional supports is 145 mm. Use only the additional supports approved by the platform manufacturer or specified in these repair instructions.
