In our daily work at Rotontek, we see how advanced components like an electric jack and an electric trailer landing gear drastically improve stability, safety, and operational efficiency. Because both the electric jack and the electric trailer landing gear operate as core lifting systems for heavy-duty trailers, we integrate them into our engineering discussions regularly—especially when introducing next-generation semi-trailer solutions.
Below, we share a deep look into how electric landing gear functions, why it has become the favored option for fleet upgrades, and how our Rotontek 20T Electric Landing Gear leads the industry with performance, safety, and long-term reliability.
Core Components Behind Electric Jack and Landing Gear Mechanisms
To understand the mechanics of an electric landing gear system, we start with its structural and functional components. In many ways, an electric jack and an electric trailer landing gear share similar engineering principles—both rely on a motorized lifting mechanism powered by an efficient transmission system. Every time our team works with customers who previously relied on manual cranks, they immediately notice how electric systems transform workflow speed and labor savings.
In the Rotontek 20T Electric Landing Gear, the foundation of the mechanism lies in the dual outrigger structure. Instead of lifting one side and then the other, the system provides simultaneous lifting support, ensuring balanced elevation even under full load. This is especially valuable when trailers carry uneven cargo distributions. The heart of the assembly features a ball screw mechanism, a tremendous improvement over traditional trapezoidal screw designs. This ball screw architecture reduces friction, boosts efficiency, and minimizes motor strain, helping our customers achieve smoother and more powerful lifting cycles.
Because we specialize in automation-ready systems, we’ve made sure that the electric jack functionality and the electric trailer landing gear work in harmony—both designed to withstand high loads, maintain stability, and deliver energy-efficient operation.
How Power Transmission Enables Smooth, Automated Lifting
One of the most common questions we answer is: What makes an electric landing gear so smooth and easy to operate compared to manual alternatives? The secret lies in power transmission.
Our Rotontek 20T Electric Landing Gear uses a refined transmission pathway that includes the ball screw, a coupling rod drive, and a high-performance brushless motor. The brushless motor ensures long service life, low noise output—only 55 dB, significantly quieter than conventional lifting systems—and excellent overall efficiency. Because the electric jack and electric trailer landing gear share similar lifting dynamics, the same principles of controlled torque, slow-start protection, and high-precision motion apply to both.
What truly distinguishes our solution is the one-button control system. With a simple command, operators can raise or lower the landing gear, while the automatic stop mechanism prevents over-travel. This dramatically reduces the risks commonly seen in fleets that still rely on manual cranking, improving driver safety and minimizing workplace injuries.
Why Rotontek Engineering Enhances the Reliability of Modern Electric Landing Gear
As a technology-driven company trusted across transportation, construction, and logistics industries, we understand that electric jack systems and electric trailer landing gear must be built for long-term durability. That’s why our 20T Electric Landing Gear includes:
- 20-ton load capacity for heavy-duty support
- IP44-rated waterproofing and dust protection
- Two-year outdoor anti-rust resistance
- High-precision nut with 2000+ continuous load cycles
- Self-developed motor with strong torque and low noise
Our team follows a standardized production process, ensuring that every landing gear unit meets strict performance benchmarks. Because we provide factory-direct customization, customers working with unique trailer models or specialized applications can request personalized adjustments.
From the integrated speed sensor enabling fast leveling to the durable materials supporting high-frequency lifting cycles, every detail reflects our philosophy of engineering reliability and user convenience.
The Modern Advantage of Electric Landing Gear
Electric landing gear systems transform the way fleets operate, providing safer, faster, and more stable support than any manual alternative. By combining the power of an electric jack with the precision and endurance of an electric trailer landing gear, operators gain more control while reducing risks and labor intensity. Our Rotontek 20T Electric Landing Gear embodies this transformation with its efficient ball screw design, low-noise brushless motor, one-button control, and heavy-duty load capacity.
As a team dedicated to innovation, we continue to push the boundaries of what automated trailer systems can achieve, helping logistics companies work smarter, safer, and more efficiently every day.
