Abstract

See full text

A sideloader liftgate system automatically extends a stabilizer leg when a liftgate is deployed, and automatically retracts the stabilizer leg when the liftgate is stored. Adjustment of the liftgate and stabilizer leg is carried out in response to a single user command. The invention prevents a user from forgetting to extend the stabilizer leg for safely using the liftgate, and also prevents a user from forgetting to retract the stabilizer leg before towing the trailer.
