The SAF ATLAS 24 Landing Gears were originally developed for the most demanding trailer applications in the world – USA and Canada. They have proven their worth over millions of miles under the toughest conditions – on the desert highways in the western USA and the brutal winters of Canada’s far north.
This trailer support system is now available in Europe as the SAF ATLAS 24 – an especially economic, robust and reliable solution making it perfect for just about any trailer.
Features and Benefits

Patented Constant Mesh Gear (CMG)
- to change gear, the gear does not need to be shifted, just engage and dis-engage high or low gear with the journal on the drive shaft
- that makes gear changes easier, safer and more convenient regardless of the grease level or external temperature (such as in winter)
- external gearbox enables easy inspection when necessary
- special coating provides long-term protection against environmental factors and stone chipping
- high degree of operational reliability with its multi-range grease (-50º to +120º C)
- high gear 1.8 crank turns per cm
- low gear 13.5 crank turns per cm

Unique floating spindle nut
Together the spindle and patented unique floating nut are the central elements with which the landing leg operates. The new trailer support system thus supports not only the vertical load of the trailer like a standard star nut but can also compensate for additional pushing and side forces that could occur whilst coupling.
