Does the drop stand come with mounting hardware?
Mounting hardware such as bolts, nuts, and washers are not supplied with the drop stand and must be sourced separately.
How should I maintain the drop stand?
Periodically clean it with a damp cloth and inspect the zinc plating for damage. Apply protective paint if minor corrosion is detected.
Troubleshooting
Leg is difficult to lower or raise
Ensure the mounting point is secure and the leg is not bent. Clean any dirt or debris from the leg mechanism and sliding surfaces. If the leg is permanently fixed, ensure the trailer is on a level surface for easier operation.
Signs of rust on the leg
Clean the affected area thoroughly. If the zinc plating is compromised, apply a zinc-rich primer or paint to protect the exposed steel and prevent further corrosion.
Wobbly or unstable support
Verify that the drop stand is fully extended and locked into position. Ensure the mounting hardware is tight and that the trailer is on a firm, level surface. Check for any damage or bending of the leg itself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The drop stand is designed to be permanently or semi-permanently mounted onto the trailer chassis. Typically, this involves drilling holes through the trailer frame and securing the stand using bolts, nuts, and washers (not supplied). Ensure the mounting point is structurally sound to handle the loads applied.
Compatibility: The 48mm diameter leg is designed to fit standard trailer brackets and fittings. It can be used at the rear of trailers or at the front in place of a jockey wheel. Verify that your trailer has a suitable mounting location and that the 48mm diameter is compatible with any existing fixtures.
Care: To maintain the longevity of the drop stand, periodically clean off dirt and debris with a damp cloth. Inspect the zinc plating for any damage that could lead to corrosion. If minor scratches are found, consider applying a suitable zinc-rich paint to prevent rust formation. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
