ABSTRACT:
A new and improved tilt trailer stabilizer apparatus includes a first bracket assembly which is connected to a first edge of a tiltable bed assembly of a tilt trailer. A second bracket assembly is connected to a frame assembly of the tilt trailer. A brake assembly is connected between the first bracket assembly and the second bracket assembly for slowing relative motion between the tiltable bed assembly and the frame assembly when the tiltable bed assembly is moved from a horizontal orientation to a tilted orientation and vice versa. The first bracket assembly includes a first hinge assembly for connecting to a first end of the brake assembly, and the second bracket assembly includes a second hinge assembly for connecting to a second end of the brake assembly. The brake assembly includes a fluid-based, motion damping assembly. A lock assembly is provided for locking the tiltable bed assembly to the frame assembly when the tiltable bed assembly is in a horizontal orientation. The lock assembly includes a first lock member connected to the tiltable bed assembly. A second lock member is connected to the frame assembly, such that the first lock member is placed in registration with the second lock member when the tiltable bed assembly is in a horizontal orientation. A lock pin is provided for securing the first lock member to the second lock member when the first lock member and the second lock member arc placed in registration.
