  • Patent number: 7229058
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement (1) to support the front end (2A) of a trailer (2) when the aforementioned trailer is parked on board vessels (3) and other vehicles, comprising connecting means (4, 5) for the detachable attachment of the support (1) respectively to a 10 trailer of the kind in question and to a mobile loading vehicle (6). The support in this case is in the form of a stand (1) with support legs (7, 8) situated at a mutual distance (A) from one another and with a crossbar (9) extending between them. Tensioning devices (12, 13), such as straps, lines, ropes or chains, are capable of being accumulated internally inside the support stand (1). These are so arranged as to be capable of detachable attachment to the deck (10) of the vessel and of being tensioned. The legs (7, 8) of the support stand exhibit friction-increasing means (51) to increase the friction with the deck (10) of a vessel.
