Description
AL-KO RANGER manoeuvring system
The AL-KO RANGER manoeuvring system lets you control your caravan with millimetre precision and zero effort. You can manoeuvre the caravan to your desired location even in the tightest of spaces and on steep surfaces using the practical remote control. Equipped with the RANGER manoeuvring system, the caravan can be practically rotated 360 degrees around its own axis.
This advanced manoeuvring aid is ideal both for single-axle caravans up to 1.8 tonnes as well as for tandem chassis up to 2.5 tonnes.
Expand your manoeuvring options with AL-KO accessories
AL-KO offers a wide range of caravan accessories to optimise the manoeuvring process. If you prefer a fully automatic manoeuvring system, the MAMMUT electric manoeuvring aid could be the right model for you. In addition, we recommend the use of suitable jockey wheels and an appropriate manoeuvring handle.
