Supports & Stability Devices for Trailers

    Stable standing on different surfaces

    Suitable support solutions for safely parking your trailer

    Supports and stability devices ensure that a parked trailer is reliably stabilised. Especially on uneven or sloping ground, height differences can be compensated for and unwanted movement of the trailer reduced. In this way, the supports provide a stable stand during transport breaks or for longer periods of standing.

    AL-KO VT offers a range of solutions for different trailers and requirements. Depending on the area of use, corner steadies as well as pivoting and fixed support feet are available.

    Supports from AL-KO VT – Your Benefits

    Suitable solutions for various requirements

    Your benefits at a glance:

    • Stable standing: Supports ensure safe stabilisation of the trailer when parked.
    • Compensation for unevenness: Different models allow for the compensation of different ground heights.
    • Various load ranges: Solutions are available for smaller right up to heavier trailers.
    • Convenient operation: Depending on the model, adjustment is made using a handle, crank or removable crank.
    • Different designs: Corner steadies as well as fixed and pivoting support feet offer a choice suited to your application.

    Corner steadies

    Stability and height adjustment for different parking surfaces

    Corner steadies make it possible to compensate for unevenness in the ground and stably support the trailer. Operation is by means of a removable crank on the hex, so the supports can be extended to suit the ground height.

    Winterhoff corner steadies are designed for various trailer models. Depending on model, using four supports, trailers with a gross mass of up to 1,800 or 2,000 kg are supported.

    Pivoting support feet

    Flexible adaptation to differing ground conditions

    Pivoting support feet combine a space-saving design with flexible height adjustment. Thanks to their swivel and rotating function, they can be adapted to various ground conditions and provide a stable stand for the trailer even on uneven surfaces.

    Depending on the model, operation is by hex or crank. The pivoting SF-60 support feet are designed for a static load of up to 1,300 kg per support.

    Fixed support feet

    A straightforward solution for additional stability

    Fixed support feet offer a simple way to provide additional stabilisation for a parked trailer. They can be universally fitted to different trailers via the support tube and, depending on the model, are operated via 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 midsize trailers. For applications with higher static loads, pivoting support feet or corner steadies are available.

    Which support is suitable for my trailer?

    Trailer, static load and area of 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 even larger trailers stabilised. Pivoting support feet combine high static load capacity with flexible adaptation to different ground heights. Fixed support feet offer a straightforward solution for smaller to mid-sized trailers and applications requiring lower static loads.

    In addition to permissible load, the installation situation, dimensions, and operation 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 thus help achieve a safe stand.

     

    This depends, among other things, on the weight of the trailer, the required static load, the installation situation, and the area of use. For higher loads, for example, corner steadies or pivoting support feet may be used, while fixed support feet provide a simple solution for lower static loads.

     

    Fixed support feet are positioned via the support tube and provide straightforward additional stabilisation. Pivoting models also feature a swivel and turning function, allowing for more flexible adaptation to different ground conditions.
