B5 Rear carriage Activating rear carriage → Carriage is in an anchored position = operational mode. Force progression during operation The lifting forces from the main frame chord (23) are transferred to the main tie rod (53) via the main tie nut (63b). At the yoke pin (26.1), the force is transferred to the rear carriage rocker (26).
