There are many different types of support available,
depending on the load to be supported and operation of
the supports.

loading / unloading.
Place the trailer on solid, level ground.
If the ground is soft, (e.g. gravel, sand), place firm
supports under the support legs.
WARNING
Loss of stability when driving onto the trailer!
A redistribution of weight caused by driving onto the trailer
or uneven ground can cause the trailer to sink on one side.
The trailer could tip over and the load could slip off.
Lower the support legs before loading / unloading.

The support legs have been lowered all the way to the
ground and are bearing the entire weight of the trailer and
the load. The support legs can be damaged.
When loading, only lower the support legs until there is
4-6 cm clearance from the ground.
