What are Hydraulic Stabilisers?

MG 0055 PE20 PRESS

Hydraulic stabilisers are devices designed to enhance the stability of heavy machinery during operation. Sometimes, they consist of extendable legs or outriggers that provide additional support by gripping the ground. Other times, like in Hydrema machines, they are integrated directly into the articulated pivot point, providing stability without the need for external extensions. These hydraulically controlled stabilisers prevent the machine from tipping or shifting during tasks such as lifting, dumping, or maneuvering on uneven terrain, ensuring safer and more precise operations in various environments.

Hydraulic Stabilisers in Hydrema Machines

At Hydrema, hydraulic stabilisers are integrated into the articulated pivot point of all our dump trucks, providing essential support and stability during operation.

Integrated Stability: The hydraulic stabilisers, strategically placed within the articulated pivot point, work seamlessly with the chassis to keep the truck balanced and secure, particularly on slopes, uneven ground, or soft terrain. This reduces the risk of tipping or sliding.

Precision and Control: These stabilisers allow for precise control, especially during heavy lifting or dumping operations. By stabilising the vehicle at its pivot point, operators can work with greater confidence and accuracy, even when handling large loads.

Safety and Versatility: Safety is paramount in Hydrema’s design. Our integrated stabilisers ensure that the dump truck remains secure in all terrains, protecting both the operator and the machine. This system enhances the truck’s versatility, enabling it to perform reliably across various environments.

By incorporating hydraulic stabilisers into the articulated pivot point of our dump trucks, Hydrema ensures superior stability, safety, and precision, meeting the demands of the toughest job sites.
