Powered Landing Gear
The Holland Group has released the PowerLeg 20K Series, an integrated, electric-powered landing gear system developed in partnership with Quest Transportation Products. The PowerLeg is driven directly through the landing gear's transmission and provides the torque necessary for quick operation. A push of the button raises or lowers up to 20,000 lbs. more quickly than manual cranking. An in-cab control option is also available.
The system also helps stabilize and adjust to varying dock heights. The floating riser nut reduces dock walk and ensures easy travel.
According to Holland, the system installs easily and offers low maintenance and reliable performance. All system components (control box, wiring harness, attachments, landing gear and back-up manual crank) are supplied, and a variety of optional mounting styles are available.
