Component Specifications

Definition
Stabilizer legs are structural support components mounted on the chassis of backhoe loaders, designed to extend outward and downward to increase the machine's footprint and prevent tipping during heavy-duty operations like excavation, trenching, or material handling. They transfer operational loads to the ground, minimizing machine movement and enhancing precision and safety.
Working Principle
Stabilizer legs operate by extending hydraulically or mechanically from the machine's frame to contact the ground. When activated, they increase the base of support, lowering the center of gravity and distributing operational forces. This reduces stress on the chassis and prevents lateral or forward tipping during dynamic loading conditions.
Materials
High-strength steel (e.g., ASTM A572 Grade 50 or equivalent), with hydraulic cylinders made from chromed steel rods and hardened steel tubes. Wear surfaces may include replaceable steel pads or shoes.
Technical Parameters
  • Weight 50-200 kg per leg
  • Load Capacity 5000-15000 kg per leg
  • Deployment Time 10-30 seconds
  • Extension Length 500-1500 mm
  • Operating Pressure 150-250 bar
Standards
ISO 3457, DIN 15018

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of stabilizer legs on a backhoe loader?

The primary function is to provide additional stability by extending the machine's base, preventing tipping during digging or lifting operations, and ensuring operator safety and operational precision.

How do stabilizer legs differ from outriggers?

Stabilizer legs are typically integrated into the machine's design for routine stability during operation, while outriggers are often used for temporary, heavy-lift scenarios and may be detachable or more robust.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
