German term

Sattelstütze

German to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks Trailers for transporting large loads
Sattelstützen: mechanische Betätigung, Last- und Schnellgang, Hublast 24 t, Ausgleichsfuß, von einer Seite zu betätigen.

I believe this must be the supporting post at the front of a trailer, but I can only seem to find the term in association with bicycles (seat post) and that cannot be the correct term here. I would be grateful for any help with this term.
TIA

Just discovered references to landing gear. Does that seem appropriate?

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Many thanks for your highly useful input, Maya (and Ingeborg). I opted for 'landing gear' (the semi-trailer reference was not needed in the context). Your assistance is greatly appreciated."
