Rear Stabilizers
The stabilizers, which are located on the right and left of the frame’s rear end, can be individually lifted
and lowered by means of hydraulic cylinders.
The purpose of the stabilizers is to transfer machine weight to the front of the machine in order to assist in
compensating the cutting forces when shearing down the face.
