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. When a trailer is unsupported, the landing
gear can collapse while loading, causing serious consequences.

Federal regulations recommend that one or more trailer stands should be used to
eliminate a serious, life threatening situation.

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 or converter
dolly.
