"IT IS NECESSARY TO USE THE STABILIZER TO SUPPORT A TRAILER AND PREVENT TRAILER SWAY DURING LOADING AND UNLOADING WHEN THE TRAILER IS NOT COUPLED TO A TRACTOR."
Having a support that avoids swaying (and possible expiration) when entering a platform with a forklift truck ensures that loading/unloading maneuvers will be done on schedule.
It is becoming more and more common for platforms to be stolen while they are hibernating in campsites or even in parking lots. The anti-theft system developed by Forankra avoids this type of unpleasant situations.
If we calculate the material value of an accident involving a forklift loading a truck, we will realize that the risk and its consequences are easily avoidable, at an affordable price.
There is no specific legal regulation governing the characteristics that trailer stabilizer supports, which are telescopic supports that are manually extended to the desired height, must meet.
In these circumstances, the supports would be work equipment and Royal Decree 1215/1997, on the use of work equipment, would apply to them, especially with regard to the conditions of resistance and stability, as well as other aspects such as not having sharp edges, etc., in any case, as they are not machines in accordance with what is set forth in Royal Decree 1644/2008, they do not have to bear the CE marking.
