Introduction to outriggers and notes


The semi-trailer support device, commonly known as the outrigger. It is located at the front of the semi-trailer frame and is used after the semi-trailer has been detached from the tractor. The outriggers are generally hand-operated two-speed single-action, linked mechanical left and right outriggers. But now there is also a motor device installed on the original outriggers can be used as electric. The main components of the outriggers are the two-speed gearbox, the support sleeve, the support rod, the drive screw (crank) and the support disc, the structure is very simple and the function is very important. 

The single-acting outrigger is also called "one tube one". 

Linkage outriggers are also called "one tube two"  

Explanation of the double speed of the outriggers: the rocking outriggers have two speeds, suitable for no load and heavy load respectively. One slow speed, where the rocker is pulled out and cranked, is suitable for heavy loads. The other gear, fast, is the gear where the rocker is pushed into the gearbox and the rocking speed is accelerated for when the outriggers are retracted or when the load is empty. 

● Notes on operating the outriggers. 

 1. Fast or slow gears can be used when empty. However, it is strictly forbidden to use the fast gear for heavy loads. 

 2. When disengaging from the tractor, pay attention to whether the ground is level or not. If necessary, the support plate should be padded with bedding to ensure that the support surface is basically level. 

 3、When the outriggers are put away, the rocker must be taken back to its original position. To prevent damage to the outriggers when walking, the "hitting leg" phenomenon should be avoided. 

Maintenance matters: 1. 

 1. Check the tightness of the leg bolts from time to time to prevent loosening and loss of support. 

 2、After one year or 30,000 km of use, fill with lithium grease to ensure normal use of the gear parts.

Summary:

The semi-trailer support device, commonly known as the outrigger. It is located at the front of the semi-trailer frame and is used after the semi-trailer has been detached from the tractor.
