Operation and maintenance guide for the support device of Flatbed semi trailer

The support device of Flatbed semi trailer, commonly known as outrigger, uses the principle of standing wood jack. It is located at the front end of the Flatbed semi trailer frame and is used after the Flatbed semi trailer is separated from the tractor. Today, we will introduce in detail the operation and maintenance methods of the support device of Flatbed semi trailer for your reference.

Operation method of support device

1. In the unloaded state, you can use the gear or slow gear to operate the outrigger, but when the vehicle is overloaded, you cannot use the gear. Only by using the slow gear can the outrigger be stable and safely unfolded and retracted.

2. When the Flatbed semi trailer is separated from the tractor, be sure to pay attention to the flatness of the ground. If the ground is uneven, pads should be placed under the support plate of the outrigger to prevent the vehicle from tilting or the outrigger from being damaged.

3. When retracting the outrigger, retract the rocker to the original position to prevent the "kick" phenomenon during the vehicle's driving and avoid damage to the outrigger.

4. In special cases, if additional support or vehicle height adjustment is required, a hydraulic jack can be used. Place the jack in the designated position, then slowly raise it until the required height is reached, lower it after use, and return it to its original position.

Maintenance Guide for Support Devices

1. Inspection: Regularly check the damage, deformation or corrosion of the outriggers and jacks, and repair or replace them in time if any abnormality occurs. In addition, special attention should be paid to the tightening of the outrigger bolts to prevent loosening and loss of support.

2. Lubrication: Regularly lubricate the moving parts of the outriggers and jacks to reduce wear. Use appropriate lubricants and lubricate according to the instructions in the operating manual. The manufacturer of LIONKAR Flatbed semi trailers recommends that lithium-based grease be added to the vehicle after one year of use or 30,000 kilometers to ensure the normal use of gear parts.

3. Storage: When the outriggers and jacks are not in use, they should be properly stored to avoid exposure to humid or corrosive environments, and try to keep them dry and ventilated.

The support device of the Flatbed semi trailer is an important component to ensure the safety and stability of the vehicle. Correct operation and regular maintenance of the support device are essential to extend the service life of the vehicle and ensure transportation safety.
