Trailer Stands

The Essential Trailer Companion Tool

When left unhitched at the loading dock, common for distribution centers, trailers are prone to tip forward during the loading unloading process. This tipping effect, known as submarine, commonly results from the landing gear failing due to the forklift operator’s speed and the balance of weight shifting toward the front of the trailer. Loading Dock Supply offers three models of trailer stands designed to provide an additional layer of safety for trailers unhitched at the dock.

Three Versatile Models
From light duty ratchet-style jacks to heavy duty automatic stands, no matter what the situation is, LDS has you covered.

OSHA Regulations - Trailer Stands

OSHA Regulation - 1910.178 (k)
Fixed jacks may be necessary to prevent upending during loading and unloading when trailer is not coupled to tractor. Notice: All unattached trailers must be wheel chocked and nose supported by trailer stabilizers during loading and unloading.

TTMA Technical Bulletin No. 57
2.1 The purpose of this bulletin is to emphasize the potential of trailer nose diving or tail diving under certain conditions of loading and unloading and provide guidelines for reducing this danger by the use of stabilizing devices whenever the trailer is not supported by a tractor or converter dolly.
3.1.1 It is recommended that an adequate stabilizing device or devices be employed at the front of the trailer in all cases where a trailer is being loaded or unloaded with the trailer resting on its support legs rather than on a tractor fifth wheel converter dolly.
