Information
Trailer Tip Overs or Landing Gear Collapse
Trailer stability is affected by a complex relationship involving the number of axles, trailer weight, landing gear placement, weight and placement of cargo, weight and position of forklift, and more.
Furthermore, landing gear on trailers are not required to be inspected on a daily basis. If there are any cracks or potential failures in a landing gear your inside workers will not be aware of it.
Transport trailers present a critical safety risk due to the weight of cargo and forklifts. When the cab disengages from the trailer, there are two potential risks this creates unless a secondary support system is utilized.
- Potential risk #1: The trailer’s landing gear collapses.
- Potential risk #2: The trailer begins to upend and tip over.
Landing Gear Collapse and Trailer Upending
Trailer Stands for Safety
Prevent land gear collapse and accidents by simply taking a few seconds to place the trailer stand under the trailer’s front end. The trailer stand will act as a backup to the landing gear.
As a result, it will add extra strength and support to prevent mishaps and potentially serious damage or injury to both personnel and products.
We have a large range of manually deployed, ergonomic and shuntable trailer stands for your perfect solution to your loading dock.
