Product Safety

We take your safety and safety of our products very seriously. To that end, we have invested a significant amount of effort in supplying you, our customer, with the proper information and necessary warning labels to inform and educate you on the safe and responsible operation of your Foldy trailer and its accessories.

That being said and despite our best efforts to inform and guide our customers to act responsibly, we are not in a position to control our customers behaviour nor can we reasonably be expected to stop negligent, irresponsible, reckless or unsanctioned use of our products.

It is important to understand, the Foldy trailer carries with some inherent safety risks that go beyond its road worthy certificate of conformity and that cannot be ignored. These risks are particular prevalent when the trailer is folded into the vertical position and precautionary safety steps must be taken to avoid it from tipping over. Please take a moment to understand these risks:

  • The Foldy trailer weighs approximately 200 kg
  • When in the vertical folded position, the Foldy trailer’s center of gravity is raised
  • As the Foldy trailer is folded into the vertical position foot print of the trailer is significantly reduced.
  • On a smooth, horizontal, stable floor free of debris and any external forces the Foldy trailer will stand stably in the vertical position.
  • The trailer can be easily tipped over by external force (such as,but not limited to, a bump or a knock) when it is unsupported and in the vertical position.
  • Serious harm, injury and even death can result from the Foldy trailer tipping over and landing onto someone.
  • It is therefore of critical importance that the Foldy trailer never be allowed to rest in the vertical position unsupported. The Foldy Trailer must rest up against a wall in its final resting position or be strapped down on the specifically designed Foldy mover cart in order to prevent it from tipping over.
  • Never attempt moving the Foldy trailer when it is in the vertical (or near vertical) position. This will result in the Foldy Trailer tipping over. The only exception is if the Foldy trailer is strapped down on the specifically designed Foldy mover cart.
  • Always ensure the floor is smooth, horizontal, stable and free of debris before folding your Foldy trailer.
  • We highly recommend that two persons complete the folding and unfolding tasks for the Foldy trailer.

It is your responsibility to use your trailer as instructed and only as instructed for your own safety and safety of others. Should you determine that the instructions are not fit for purpose or there is an error, please contact our customer support team immediately. Please do not create your own unsanctioned operating instructions.

Should you not wish to accept these risks or do not wish to follow the safety instructions and have not used your Foldy trailer yet, please contact our customer services team to arrange a product return and refund. Collection, rework, repackaging and restocking fees may be applied.
