What's wrong?
The support gear on a 2025 Great Dane Everest SS refrigerated trailer is the set of legs that holds the front of the trailer when it is parked, being loaded, or separated from a tractor. The support gear bracing mounts tie those legs back into the trailer structure. Their job is to keep the legs square to the trailer floor when weight and side force move through the trailer.
On affected trailers, the bracing mounts were not welded strongly enough during manufacturing. Under side loads, the welds can let the bracing mounts break free from the support gear. Once that happens, the support gear legs lose the bracing that keeps them upright, and the gear can collapse.
A warning sign is support gear legs that no longer sit perpendicular to the trailer floor. If the legs look tilted, shifted, or out of square before a collapse, that is the visible sign operators are told to watch for.

What's the safety risk?
An improperly welded support gear bracing mount can let the trailer collapse, increasing the risk of injury. Operators should treat support gear legs that are not perpendicular to the trailer floor as a warning sign and arrange dealer inspection before loading or working around the trailer. Repair is free at any franchised Great Dane dealer.
