Rite-Hite Trailer Stabilizer reduces risk of landing gear collapse

Rite-Hite says its TS-5000 Trailer Stabilizer is trailer landing gear's new best friend.

Rite-Hite says its TS-5000 Trailer Stabilizer is trailer landing gear's new best friend.

The new stabilizing design, with a wide top plate, twin vertical supports and dual base plates, decreases the risk of landing gear collapse when the unit is properly positioned.

“The Trailer Stabilizer has been designed to help prevent accidents that can happen when loading or unloading spotted trailers at the loading dock,” said Andy Olson, Rite-Hite marketing manager. “Heavy loads in front of the landing gear, uneven loads and faulty landing gear can all cause the trailer nose to drop or roll.”

Static load capacity of the Trailer Stabilizer is 70 tons (140,000 lbs), which is more than three times the combined maximum weight allowed for a forklift and load today.

The Trailer Stabilizer comes with an extra-wide top plate (12 inches by 66 inches) and covers up to 65% of a trailer’s width. The two base plates are 10 inches by 16 inches. Three 13-inch tires and ergonomic positioning handles allow the Trailer Stabilizer to be moved into position easily. An optional communication flag alerts workers and truck drivers that the unit is properly positioned.

This unit extends up to 56 inches and retracts down to 40 inches, allowing it to service nearly all trailer configurations.
