ABSTRACT:
A stabilizing system for a vehicle carrying a load supporting platform (10), to prevent the platform from tilting when the load is unevenly distributed about the longitudinal center line of the vehicle, the system comprising a pair of jacks (17) which are pivotally attached to the platform (10) at the sides thereof outside the adjacent wheels (15). The jacks carry inwardly extending foot plates (18). The jacks are lowered behind the vehicle wheels which are then driven in reverse so that the tires ride up onto the foot plates (18). In this position the jacks extend vertically to the ground and support their associated wheels thus limiting the tilting of the platform (10). A control device (20, 19) is provided to withdraw the jacks to their inoperative positions for travelling upon forward movement of the vehicle. The stabilizing system is self-engaging by reversing the vehicle after releasing the jacks.
