A stabilizer pad for use with stabilizer legs of a work machine is disclosed. The stabilizer pad may include a frame configured for attachment to the stabilizer leg of the work machine. The stabilizer pad may further include at least one resilient member including a plate member having one or more mounts. The resilient member may also include one or more resilient pads having longitudinal axes which are parallel to the plate member. The resilient pads may comprise at least one fiber reinforced elastomeric layer. A bottom or second surface of a resilient pad may define a continuous ground contact surface.

A trailer configured to lower an overall center of gravity. The trailer comprises a tank, a wheel assembly, an upper body height and a trailer length. The tank comprises a cavity contained within a lower body, an upper body, a transitioning body, a front end and a rear end when the cavity within the trailer is filled with a liquid fluid, the liquid fluid is evenly distributed along the trailer length of the trailer since a diameter of the lower body, the upper body and the transitioning body are equal.

A method of leveling a parked freight trailer at a loading dock, the method comprising: (a) positioning a portable stabilizing device at least partially underneath a forward portion of the parked freight trailer; (b) positioning a lift associated with the portable stabilizing device to bear weight of the forward portion of the parked freight trailer; (c) reorienting the parked freight trailer so a floor of the parked freight trailer goes from a substantially non-parallel orientation to an approximately parallel orientation with respect to a floor of the loading dock by repositioning at least one of the jack and a landing gear of the parked freight trailer; and, (e) maintaining the lift in a weight bearing position while goods are at least one of unloaded from or loaded onto the parked freight trailer.

A stabilizer for a vehicle includes an actuator assembly configured to be coupled to a chassis of the vehicle and configured to lift the vehicle. The actuator assembly is coupled to a ground pad having a bottom surface configured to engage a support surface below the chassis when the actuator assembly lifts the vehicle. An alignment member is configured to be coupled the chassis. The alignment member is configured to limit rotation of the ground pad. The actuator assembly is configured to move a surface of the ground pad into engagement with the alignment member to cause rotation of the ground pad relative to the chassis.

A vehicle includes a chassis defining a longitudinal axis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a front axle coupled to the chassis, a rear axle coupled to the chassis, a body assembly coupled to the chassis, and an implement. The body assembly defines a recess that includes a plurality of angled portions. The plurality of angled portions extend laterally outward at a downward angle away from the longitudinal axis. The implement has a proximal end disposed within the recess. The plurality of angled portions at least partially facilitate the implement in traveling through at least one of a sweep angle range or a depression angle range.

An assembly for correcting an attitude of at least a selected portion of a structure, where the assembly includes a controller affixed to a structure operatively coupled with one or more jacks operable to change the attitude of the structure; and a remote device configured to communicate wirelessly with the controller to change the attitude of a selected portion of the structure. Also disclosed is a method for adjusting an attitude of a movable structure.
