Product Details

Product Description：

Landing gear on trailers, also known as landing legs, is a critical component that provides support and stability when the trailer is not attached to a tractor. Here’s an overview of its design, functionality, and significance:

Design and Components

Legs: Typically consists of two adjustable legs located at the front of the trailer. These can be extended or retracted to adjust the height.
Crank Mechanism:
Manual Crank: A hand-operated system that allows for height adjustment through a gear mechanism.

Electric Motor: An electric option that allows for easier operation, especially beneficial in high-volume situations.

Base Plate: The feet of the landing gear often feature a larger base plate to distribute the load and prevent sinking into soft ground.

Functionality

Stabilization: Keeps the trailer upright and stable when it is disconnected from the tractor, preventing tipping or rolling.
Height Adjustment: Can be adjusted to accommodate various loading docks and tractor heights, ensuring a secure connection.
Support During Operations: Provides a solid foundation during loading and unloading, enhancing safety for workers.

Importance

Safety: Reduces the risk of accidents during loading and unloading by stabilizing the trailer.
Efficiency: Facilitates quick attach/detach operations, improving turnaround times in freight transport.
Versatility: Allows trailers to be used in various environments, including uneven ground, making them suitable for diverse applications.

Maintenance Tips

Regular Inspections: Check for wear and tear, ensuring that the legs are functioning properly.
Lubrication: Keep the crank mechanism and moving parts lubricated to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
Cleaning: Remove debris and dirt that could interfere with operation or stability.
