Trailer Stability and Support Technology

Trailers with axles in the center or toward the rear of the vehicle are usually equipped with a landing leg, or jack stand, that provides a stable configuration when the trailer is not attached to a tow vehicle.  These landing legs may weigh from 40 to nearly 100 pounds, and are generally secured to the trailer in a horizontal position when connected.  Transitioning a landing leg from the deployed position to the raised position requires brute strength; there is no mechanical advantage that helps the soldier (often soldiers) lift the landing leg into position.  Conversely, when lowered, there is nothing to dampen or slow the descent of the landing leg.  Obviously, both of these situations can lead to injury. 

Further endangering soldiers, certain trailer models require soldiers to crawl underneath the trailer in order to fasten or detach landing leg retention mechanisms.

To address these problems, Williams Innovations introduced Trailer Stability and Support technology, which is adapted into Landing Leg Assist Kits for a variety of trailers.  By designing specially located handles, levers and locking pins, we have made it possible for a single soldier anywhere in the 95th percentile of size and strength to safely deploy or secure any landing leg from beside the vehicle.

The Trailer Stability and Support technologies from Williams Innovations, LLC are patented technologies that make connecting or disconnecting trailers faster and safer. Like all products from Williams Innovations, they are designed to be easy to use, easy to install, and easy to maintain. Protected by US Patent 6848702.
