How To Motorize Your Truck’s Landing Gear
The device can lift up to 30 tons, which reduces the risk of damage to the trailer nose and landing gear from drivers that don’t crank a loaded trailer to the correct height.
EZ Winder offers two universal trailer kits. The I-Beam EZ Winder Kit works with box, reefer, chip, and flatbed setups. It includes the EZ Winder motor, all required bracketry and mounting hardware, a 12-volt 20Ah SLA battery with a smart charger and wiring harness, and detailed installation and operation instructions. The Sidemount Kit is similar but is compatible with tanker, bulk, pneumatic, chassis, and drop deck flatbed. Included is the EZ Winder motor, along with side-mount bracketry, a C-Channel battery mount and bracketry, a 12-volt battery, and necessary instructions. All purchases include a battery pack and smart charger for independent operation from tractor power.
Installation takes around 1 1/2 hrs. The company provides detailed written and video instructions after purchase and maintains a helpline for technical support. The system will operate without power from the cab for up to 180 cycles or 60 days. You can recharge the battery through the 7-way.
The device is capable of shifting from high to low gear along the company’s patent-pending sliding hinge. It’s easy to operate - just push the power button and press and release the up or down buttons to use. And, since the EZW is battery-powered, the cab doesn’t need to be hooked to a trailer to operate.
Customer reviews share how easy the winder is to install and praise how well it can reduce injuries.
Contact the company directly to purchase the EZ Winder or secure a 90-day trial.
