Support foot for Robustec trailer: how does it work? What are the differences?

The trailer support foot is essential hydraulic equipment for professionals working in the road and agricultural sectors.

 

This is because its function is to lift, support and support the loads present in vehicles, such as trucks and trailers, planters and sprayers, trailers and trailers in general, among others. 

 

Robustec models were developed to add all the strength, agility, safety, robustness and stability that this type of operation requires. 

 

Next, understand how our trailer support line works and its differences, in addition to the main features and benefits offered by these implements. Follow along!

 

 

Robustec hydraulic lifting devices are available in a wide variety of models. Furthermore, they can be customized according to each client’s needs.

 

In order to stabilize the trailer when it is disconnected from the vehicle, preventing it from falling or sliding, the support foot is fixed to its lower part.

 

To do this, the operator simply lowers the implement until the base touches the ground, then lowers the foot using manual control so that it is firmly supported on the ground and ensures that the trailer remains level. 

 

In this process, Robustec implements have important differences, which guarantee even more practical and safe operation. Are they:

 

 

The Robustec trailer support foot is made of high-strength laminated tubes. They are sized to meet vertical and lateral loads without risk of buckling problems.

 

The structure also has two tubes that work inside each other, through telescopic operation, which guarantees the rigidity and safety of the assembly in different positions.

 

 

To avoid involuntary movements and guarantee the positioning of the trailer, as well as preventing falls in the event of a break and the implement falling due to a possible internal oil leak, the trailer support foot also has a check valve.

 

More than adding even more safety to the equipment, the part also facilitates the handling of hydraulic couplings, eliminates oil waste, generates more savings, guarantees the cleanliness of the entire system and, consequently, increases its durability.

 

 

To attach the lifting device to the implement, the Robustec catalog offers several models for different applications. Furthermore, if the customer prefers, it is also possible to develop a personalized system, according to their demands.

 

The support base close to the ground has two models. They must be chosen when purchasing the device, as they have different advantages. While the fixed base guarantees more rigidity and stability, the articulated one offers better accommodation to the slopes of the ground.

 

 

The Robustec trailer support foot has a series of advantages in terms of ergonomics. The main benefit is convenience for the operator. This is because there is no requirement for physical effort to position the device and activate the crank.

 

When lifting the implement, it is only necessary to activate the hydraulic control, while it is still on the tractor. Thus, there is more practicality, comfort and safety in the process.

 

 

In addition to all the differences mentioned above, the Robustec trailer support foot also has excellent operating speed control.

 

This is a technical feature that prevents sudden movements and overloads in the hydraulic system, increasing its useful life. Added to this, there is a guarantee of greater safety and precision in positioning the desired height.

 

Speaking of durability, the implement is subjected to a rigorous cleaning and preparation system, in which the parts are immersed in tanks with chemicals that guarantee their complete cleanliness. Afterwards, the finishing is done with electrostatic epoxy painting.

 

Among the main advantages is its maximum resistance and safety, total stability, suitability for different heights and high resistance to bad weather.

 

Robustec’s hydraulic supports are the best solutions when it comes to supporting loads. With them, you reduce lifting time, guarantee precise adjustments, add more convenience for the operator and have maximum quality and safety throughout the entire process.
