Stabiliser Interlock System

The Stabiliser Interlock system prevents lifts from being attempted without the stabilisers being deployed. A plunger switch fitted to the stabiliser housing is activated when the foot has positive downward pressure. Until that time the lifting arms are disabled.

SBdanger

Never move the stabilisers with any load on the arms. This is highly dangerous. If the stabilisers lift off the resting place during a loading operation, the correct action is to move the load back over the stabilisers before manoeuvring the load back over the trailer, keeping the distance between the bottom of the load and the twistlocks as small as practicably possible. If the stabilisers continue to lift then first return the load to the ground before deploying the stabilisers further in order to increase foot pressure.
