Which type of trailer is not subject to the cable towing requirements?

Pole trailers are not subject to the cable towing requirements because of their specific design and intended use. Unlike other types of trailers, pole trailers are designed primarily for transporting long and heavy loads, such as poles, logs, or beams, which are supported through a unique frame that allows them to pivot. This characteristic means that they operate differently than standard trailers that require additional stabilization and connection methods, such as cables, to ensure safe towing.

In contrast, flatbed trailers, enclosed trailers, and utility trailers generally have more conventional towing needs. These trailers typically use standard hitching mechanisms and may require safety chains, cables, or other forms of attachment to enhance safety during transport. The cable towing requirements are instituted to improve the overall safety of grey area towing situations, especially for trailers with different balance or loading characteristics. Pole trailers, given their distinct nature and usage scenarios, do not fall under these requirements.
