Bending Leg Stabiliser

Bending Leg Stabiliser

The Steelbro Bending Leg Stabiliser capabilities are the same as the Tilt and Extend type but provides better stability where the Sidelifter is close to a rail wagon or companion trailer. The Bending Leg stabiliser allows the foot to be extended underneath the rail wagon or companion trailer giving better stability due to further outreach.

The Bending Leg stabiliser can be deployed:

1. With the ankle fully retracted and the foot resting on the ground giving the same stabiliser outreach as a standard Tilt and Extend stabiliser.
2. On the deck of a rail wagon or trailer, with the ankle fully retracted, the same way as with a standard Tilt and Extend stabiliser.
3. With the ankle fully extended / rotated and the stabiliser housing fully tilted giving the same reach and stability as a standard Tilt and Extend stabiliser when up close to a rail wagon or companion trailer. Only use this position for situations where the Sidelifter has to get closer than normal to railway wagons or trailers.
