see following Explanation: Well, it seems to be some kind of remote control for crane and large trucks with trailer. The only reference I could find is the German glossary http://www.die-kranfahrzeuge.com/lexikon/ where you will find "Nachlenkeinrichtung". |

supplementary rear steering Explanation: Various German sources for "Nachlenkung" show that this is a manually controlled option to supplement 'normal' rear steering, thus enabling the operator to manoeuver the trailer/vehicle in very tight spaces or around curves. |
