utánfutót

Utánfutó is the Hungarian word for a trailer, a non-self-propelled vehicle designed to be towed behind another vehicle, typically a car or truck. These trailers come in a wide variety of types and sizes, serving numerous purposes. Common uses include transporting goods, equipment, vehicles, or even recreational equipment like boats or motorcycles.

The design of an utánfutó generally involves a chassis, wheels, a hitch mechanism for connection to the towing vehicle, and a body or platform to hold the cargo. Some utánfutók are simple open-bed trailers, while others are enclosed box trailers or specialized units such as car transporters, livestock trailers, or camping trailers. Load capacity and dimensions vary significantly based on the intended application and the towing vehicle's capabilities.

In Hungary, like in many other countries, specific regulations govern the use of utánfutók, including requirements for registration, licensing, lighting, and braking systems. The maximum weight of a trailer that can be towed often depends on the driver's license category and the towing vehicle's specifications. Safety features such as trailer brakes and stabilizing hitches are important considerations for safe operation. The term "utánfutó" encompasses a broad category of towed vehicles used for a multitude of practical and recreational purposes.
