Auto Riser Trailer Stand

The Auto Riser prevents spotted trailers from tipping over due to landing gear collapse or failure.

OSHA regulations suggest that trailer stands may prevent the upending of trailers during loading or unloading when the triler is not attached to a tractor or converter dolly. It makes good sense to use the Auto Riser to keep your loading area safe and accident free. NOTE: Wheel chocks must be used in addition to a trailer stand in order to meet OSHA Regulation 1910.178 (k).

Made of heavy gauge steel, the square center down tube is topped with a wide 5”x 30” support pad that is automatically extended from a base height of 42” to 52.5”. Only one unit is required per trailer. The Auto Riser has a static load capacity of upto 100,000 lbs. The extra large 17”x 18.5”base pad maintains trailer stability even during extremely hot weather when asphalt can sink under the weight of a loaded trailer. Ergonomically designed double positioning handles with vinyl grips, allow the stand to be moved and positioned with great accuracy even in snow, sleet and loose gravel. The exclusive “gas activated levelling system”and “security locking pin”safely feature allow the Auto Riser to be the easiest trailer stand to operate in the business.
Combined, all of these unique features make the operation of this stand extremely safe, easy and efficient. Auto Riser is one very heavy-duty reliable trailer stand.

No Cranking | No Electricity | No Pressurized Air

Roto Riser Trailer stand

The Roto Riser, just like its big brother Auto Riser, eliminates the danger of having a trailer tip due to landing gear collapse. The Roto Riser should be applied for support while a traile is not attached to a tractor. NOTE: Wheel chocks must be used in addition to a trailer stand in order to meet OSHA Regulation 1910.178 (k).

The Roto Riser includes a 20” long removable handle for moving the stand. After proper positioning, use the 4 spindle handgrips to quickly raise the support pad. Once snug, slide the handle over one of the grips and apply minimum pressure to secure the trailer. The large 185 sq.in. base pad prevents the unit from sinking into hot asphalt under a heavy load.

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 recommemded 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 or converter dolly.

PREVENT HAZARDOUS LANDING GEAR COLLAPSE

Any trailer that is being loaded or unloaded with just the landing gear in position is potentially an accident waiting to happen. Federal regulations recommend that one or more trailer stands should be used to eliminate a serious, life-threatening situation.
