ROR gears
A NEW range of power operated landing gears designed to speed up the coupling and uncoupling of trailers has been introduced by Rubery Owen-Rockwell.
Called Powergear, it is claimed to be suitable for all types of semi-trailers using conventional manual landing legs.
ROR also claims that it can be used to provide added stability on mobile cranes or, when used in twin formation, to assist with loading and unloading of containers.
The new system gives a maximum lift of 22,700 kg (50,0001b).
It is a fully self-contained unit operated by air via the emergency air line with the additional safety feature that when the tractive unit is disconnected and the air lines removed, the trailer legs cannot be operated.
