How Does Trailer Landing Gear Work on A Trailer

The LUEN Trailer Landing Gear is an important component on a trailer that serves to stabilise and support the trailer when it is separated from the towing vehicle.

LUEN trailer landing gear structure and components:

Telescoping Legs: The LUEN Trailer Legs usually consists of a pair of telescoping extension legs. These legs are adjustable in length to accommodate varying ground clearance and provide stability.

MOTOR OR MANUAL OPERATION: Depending on the model, the legs can be operated either manually or by a motor. The motor (if present) is reversible, allowing the legs to extend and retract.

Locking Mechanism: In order to secure the outriggers in place, a latching mechanism is required. This may include a latch pin that engages the corresponding hole in the outrigger to ensure that the outrigger remains extended and stable.

Extension and Retraction Process:

EXTENSION: The trailer legs outriggers extend when the LUEN trailer needs to be released and stabilised. This can be done manually by turning the crank or handle or automatically by starting the motor. When the outriggers are extended, they provide greater support for the trailer.

Retract: After use, the legs retract to allow the trailer to move easily. The retraction process is similar to the extension process, but in reverse.

Safety and Stability:

The LUEN landing legs is designed to provide stability and prevent the trailer from tipping over, especially when the trailer is uncoupled and parked.

The outriggers spread the weight of the trailer evenly, reducing the risk of damage to the tyres or the trailer itself.

Customisation and compatibility:

LUEN Landing Gear can be customised to ensure that it is suitable for trailers with different load capacities and ground clearance.

LUEN typically offers a range of models with different load capacities, such as 25 tonnes, 28 tonnes or 30 tonnes, to suit different trailer types and uses. You can come and contact us if you need.

In summary, LUEN trailer landing legs provides stable support for the trailer through the use of retractable telescopic outriggers. These landing legs can be operated manually or by motor and are secured in place by a locking mechanism. Landing gear is an essential component for the safe and stable operation of the trailer, ensuring that the trailer remains upright and stable when detached from the towing vehicle.
