Helps prevent accidents due to landing gear collapse
Provide back-up landing gear support for spotted trailers with the TS-5000 Trailer Stabilizer. Seldom used or rusted landing gear may collapse under extreme weight conditions. When the trailer stabilizer is positioned snug under a spotted semi-trailer at the loading dock, it will support a static load capacity up to 140,000 lbs.! The extra wide top plate (66”) and twin vertical supports will help absorb momentum caused from landing gear collapse and help minimize the trailer nose from dropping or tipping.

Extra support for heavy and uneven loads
When fork trucks load at the front of trailers, the trailer can become nose heavy and tip. Uneven and heavy loads placed at the front of trailers can also cause the trailer nose to tip. The TS-5000 Trailer Stabilizer can help prevent trailer up-ending and trailer tip-over.
Support 65% of the trailer width
The 66” top plate of the TS-5000 covers 65% of the total trailer width (102”) and more than half of a 48” pallet loaded snug to one side of a trailer. This extra-wide top plate provides safe and secure support, especially for uneven loads when there is a greater risk of trailer tip-over.
Ideal Applications
- Servicing heavy loads (Paper, Glass, Beverage, Automotive, Food and Packaged Liquids)
- Servicing uneven loads or have uneven drive approaches
