Trailer Rear Stabiliser TRS 1

The TRS 1 Trailer Rear Stabiliser is a mechanical safety device designed to increase trailer stability during loading and unloading operations. It helps reduce the risk of unwanted vertical trailer movement, particularly when material handling equipment enters a semi-trailer that is disconnected from its tractor unit.

The stabiliser is positioned under the rear section of the trailer, providing additional support and contributing to safer working conditions during goods handling operations.

Thanks to its fully mechanical operation without the need for an external electrical or pneumatic power supply, TRS 1 provides a practical solution for loading docks, warehouses and logistics facilities. The device can be operated entirely by one person.

Main Advantages

• Improved trailer stability during loading and unloading operations
• Enhanced workplace safety when material handling equipment operates inside the trailer
• No external power supply required – operates without electricity or compressed air
• High load capacity – maximum load of 12,000 kg
• Wide working range – 550–1,200 mm in the standard configuration
• Easy handling – can be operated by a single person
• Mobile construction – transport wheels and a handling lever allow easy positioning
• Optional configuration – centre support bracket for trailers with a single central longitudinal beam

Construction

The TRS 1 stabiliser features a robust steel structure with a mechanical screw mechanism that allows the working height to be adjusted.

The device is equipped with upper contact pads that provide support beneath the trailer structure and lower support feet that ensure stable contact with the ground.

The construction also incorporates fixed transport wheels, a lockable swivel wheel and a handling lever, allowing the stabiliser to be moved into the required position.

The handling lever is equipped with a locking pin and can be adjusted within a 90° range.

The structure is manufactured from S235/S355 steel with EPDM rubber components and features a powder-coated surface finish.

Operating Principle

The stabiliser is primarily intended for situations where a semi-trailer is disconnected from its tractor unit and positioned at a loading dock. When a forklift or other material handling equipment enters the trailer, unwanted vertical movement may occur. TRS 1 provides additional support beneath the rear section of the trailer, helping to reduce this risk.

1. Positioning the Stabiliser

The stabiliser is moved beneath the rear section of the trailer using the handling lever and transport wheels.

2. Adjusting the Working Height

The mechanical screw mechanism is operated via the lift control pin using commonly available hand tools. Turning the mechanism clockwise extends the structure, bringing the upper contact pads towards the trailer's supporting frame.

3. Stabilising the Trailer

Once the required height has been reached, the stabiliser provides additional support beneath the rear section of the trailer during loading and unloading operations.

4. Releasing and Moving the Stabiliser

After loading or unloading is completed, the mechanism is turned anticlockwise to retract the structure. The stabiliser can then be returned to its transport position and moved to another trailer.

Important: TRS 1 is designed exclusively for trailer stabilisation. It is not intended for lifting trailers.
