ABSTRACT:
An attachment for logging truck-trailer combinations which have a trailer reach and sliding compensation means allowing the trailer to move freely longitudinally in relation to the truck, acts to prevent separation of the truck and trailer, and hence stripping of the load therefrom, under highway upgrade or mire conditions. The attachment comprises expanding friction brake means configured to fit within the trailer reach and connecting means to join the expanding friction brake means to the sliding compensation means. Positioning means positions the expanding friction brake means for releasable, frictional, braking contact with the inner walls of the trailer reach and brake operating means allow the operator remotely to activate the attachment to prevent separation of the truck and trailer when conditions tending to cause such separation are encountered.
