They serve a dual function of keeping the plane secure on the trailer
for maintenance or for transport. The wheels of the dolly are right at
the front of the dolly in order to stay in contact with the ground when
you open up the jack mechanism. Without the bolts or firm strapping of
the dolly to the fuselage the dolly is not stable and can rotate in a
back end down sense and lose proper contact with the fuselage, taking
all its weight on the leading edge of the dolly. David
