Loading and unloading trailers—particularly when using forklift trucks—can present a serious safety risk. When a trailer is uncoupled, changes in weight distribution can cause it to become unstable, increasing the risk of tipping or collapse.

As loads shift, weight can move from the axle area to the front support wheels without the operator realising. Under these conditions, forklift operations may result in trailer damage, surface damage, or serious injury if the trailer becomes unstable.

The Maple Trailer Support provides a simple and effective solution. Positioned at the front of the trailer, just ahead of the kingpin, it acts as a third point of support, stabilising the trailer during loading and unloading operations.
