TurnNBurn drill adapter for semi trailers
FAQS
Frequently asked questions
- 01A landing gear drill adapter is a tool that attaches to the crankshaft of trailer landing gear and allows a cordless drill to raise or lower the trailer legs instead of manual cranking. This tool significantly reduces physical strain on drivers and speeds up trailer hookup operations. The TurnNBurn® landing gear adapter is one of the most widely used drill-powered adapters designed specifically for trailers.
- 02TurnNBurn landing gear drill adapter is a patented, USA-made drill adapter that connects to an 18V drill and attaches to medium and heavy-duty trailer landing gear shafts, replacing manual crank operation entirely. It is the 2025 Edison Safety Triple Crown Award winner - Health and Wellness.
- 03While any drill with a minimum of 18 volts is compatible with the TurnNBurn adapter, it is strongly recommended to use a standard drill driver rather than an impact driver. Standard drill drivers provide a smoother and more controlled rotational force, which is ideal for the precise operation of raising and lowering semi trailer landing gear. Impact drivers, on the other hand, deliver rapid concussive rotational impacts designed primarily for driving fasteners, which can cause excessive stress and potential damage to the landing gear mechanism or the adapter itself. Using a standard drill driver helps ensure consistent torque application, reduces wear on components, and enhances operator safety during use.
- 04No modifications are needed—just attach it to the landing gear shaft, and you’re ready to go.
- 05Yes. TurnNBurn was recognized with 1st Place Health & Wellness Initiative by Southern California Edison for reducing repetitive strain associated with manual landing gear cranking. It helps reduce fatigue and improve consistency during drop & hook operations.
