Abstract

A device for stabilising a wheeled trailer towable behind a vehicle is disclosed comprising a frame (4) attached or for attachment to the trailer forward of the trailer wheels, a ground engaging wheel (6) able to rotate about a generally upright axis, a clutch (8) operable to damp the rotation of the wheel (6) and means to operate the clutch (8) during deceleration of the vehicle. The device (2) helps to support the nose weight of the trailer, while the clutch (8) operates to damp snaking motion of the trailer, allowing the vehicle and trailer combination to safely brake, even while the trailer is snaking. <IMAGE>
