Abstract: The present invention is an anti-counter rotation device that includes a gear wheel and a latch. The gear wheel is attached to the shaft of a trailer landing gear. The base plate mounts the latch to the trailer landing gear and includes an axle. In a first position, the latch engages the gear and permits rotation of the shaft a first direction (e.g. clockwise (CW)), but prevents rotation of the shaft in the opposite or second direction (i.e. counter clockwise (CCW)). In a second position, the latch operates in an opposite manner; that is, the latch permits rotation in the second direction (i.e. CCW), but prevents rotation in the first direction (i.e. CW). The latch has a width sufficient to accommodate multiple horizontal positions of the crank handle or shaft. One or more spacers on the axle or base plate may be utilized to locate the latch in relation to the gear. A locking pin may be used to insure the spacers and latch remain on the axle.
