The SecureFix Direct Caravan Chassis Axle Stand is an essential stability solution for static caravan owners seeking to eliminate movement and ensure structural security. These stands are designed for those looking to level their unit and prevent the unsettling rocking often experienced in static homes. While they offer robust support and corrosion resistance, users should note that they are specifically engineered for under-chassis beam placement and require manual height adjustment for precise leveling.

These are designed for static caravans. Touring caravans generally require specific corner steadies rather than chassis axle stands.
These stands are built for structural support of static caravans; always ensure the combined weight of your unit is distributed across an appropriate number of supports.
The number of stands depends on the length and weight of your caravan. Generally, they should be placed at key chassis intervals to ensure even support.
No, these are designed to sit under the chassis beams using the weight of the caravan to maintain their position.
The electric galvanized finish is designed to be weather-resistant, though periodic inspection and touch-ups will extend their service life.
Use a solid, pressure-treated timber block or a concrete paver under the base of the stand to add height, ensuring the surface is level and stable.
Check that the ground underneath is level and firm. If the ground is soft, the base will sink. Use a larger load-spreading board beneath the stand base.
Clean the threads of any grit or rust and apply a high-quality all-weather grease to lubricate the moving parts.
To set up the SecureFix Direct axle stand, first clear debris from the ground where the stand will be placed. Loosen the adjustment mechanism, slide the top support to the desired height to reach your chassis beam, and ensure the locking pin or mechanism is fully engaged. Check for levelness using a spirit level on the caravan floor. For maintenance, periodically inspect the galvanized coating for any chips or scratches. If damage occurs, apply a cold-galvanizing spray or exterior metal paint to prevent surface rust from spreading. Keep the adjustment threads clean and lightly greased to ensure smooth operation during future adjustments.
