ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for stabilizing a stationary trailer. One embodiment of the device comprises a jack and a stabilizing member. The jack attaches to the bottom of the trailer, such that when the jack is extended, a base component of the jack engages the ground. A stabilizing member attaches at one end to the base of the jack and attaches at the other end to the bottom of the trailer. The length of the stabilizing member adjusts such that the stabilizing member has one length when the jack is in the raised position, and a second length when the jack is in the lowered position. The length of the stabilizing member may be locked such that the stabilizing member retains a particular length.
