AL-KO VT support systems & steady legs for trailers

    Stability on different surfaces

    Support solutions for safe parking

    Supports and steady legs keep a parked trailer stable. On uneven or sloping ground, they can compensate for height differences and reduce unwanted trailer movement. This helps keep the trailer stable during stops or longer periods of parking.

    AL-KO VT offers a range of solutions for different trailers and requirements. Depending on the application, corner steadies and swivelling or fixed steady legs are available.

    AL-KO VT support systems: your benefits

    Solutions for different requirements

    Your benefits at a glance:

    • Stable support: Supports and steady legs help keep the trailer stable when parked.
    • Compensation for uneven ground: Different models can compensate for variations in ground height.
    • Different load ranges: Solutions are available for both lighter and heavier trailers.
    • Convenient operation: Depending on the model, supports can be adjusted using a handle, crank or push-on crank.
    • Different designs: Corner steadies and fixed or swivelling steady legs provide options for different applications.

    Corner steadies

    Stability and height compensation on different surfaces

    Corner steadies compensate for uneven ground and provide stable support for the trailer. A push-on crank operates the steadies via an Allen key, allowing them to be lowered to suit the ground height.

    The corner steadies are designed for various trailer models. Depending on the version, four supports can stabilise trailers with a permissible gross weight of up to 1,800 or 2,000 kg.

    Swivelling steady legs

    Flexible adjustment to different ground conditions

    Swivelling steady legs combine a space-saving design with flexible height adjustment. Thanks to their swivelling and extending functions, they can be adjusted to different ground conditions and help keep the trailer stable even on uneven surfaces.

    Depending on the model, they are operated using an Allen key or crank. The swivelling SF-60 steady legs are designed for a static load of up to 1,300 kg per support.

    Fixed steady legs

    A straightforward solution for additional stability

    Fixed steady legs offer a simple way to provide additional stabilisation for a parked trailer. They can be fitted to a wide range of trailers using the support tube and, depending on the model, are operated using a handle or integrated hand crank.

    With a static load of up to 150 kg per support, the available models are especially suitable for smaller to medium-sized trailers. For applications with higher stationary nose loads, swivelling steady legs or corner steadies are available.

    Which support solution is right for my trailer?

    Trailer type, static load and intended use determine the choice

    The right stability device depends mainly on the trailer, its weight, the required static load and the intended use.

    Corner steadies are ideal where uneven ground needs to be compensated for and larger trailers need to be stabilised. Swivelling steady legs combine a high static load capacity with flexible adjustment to different ground heights. Fixed steady legs offer a straightforward solution for smaller to medium-sized trailers and applications requiring lower static loads.

    In addition to the permissible load, the installation conditions, dimensions and operating method of the chosen support should also be considered.

    Frequently asked questions about supports for trailers

    Supports stabilise the trailer when parked. Depending on the model, they can also compensate for height differences on uneven ground and help keep the trailer securely positioned.

    This depends on factors including the trailer weight, required static load, installation conditions and intended use. For higher loads, corner steadies or swivelling steady legs may be suitable, while fixed steady legs provide a simple solution for lower static loads.

    Fixed steady legs are positioned using the support tube and provide straightforward additional stabilisation. Swivelling models also feature swivelling and extending functions, allowing them to adapt more flexibly to different ground conditions.
