Which component of the MHU-196/M lift trailer supports the lift arms during transport conditions?

The retractable travel locks are designed specifically to secure the lift arms of the MHU-196/M lift trailer during transport conditions. When the lift arms are not in use, these travel locks engage to prevent unintended movement or fluctuation, ensuring that the arms remain stable and secured throughout transit. This design feature is critical for maintaining safety, preventing damage to the equipment, and ensuring operational readiness upon reaching the destination.

While hydraulic locks, fixed support bars, and bracing cables are integral components of the lift trailer, they serve different functions. Hydraulic locks are typically used to manage the lifting mechanism itself, fixed support bars may provide structural integrity during operation, and bracing cables help stabilize the trailer under certain conditions. None of these alternatives serve the specific purpose of securing the lift arms during transport in the same manner as the retractable travel locks.
