I can personally attest to the fact that is VERY thick and more than up to the job.
I am not sure which one you have but I do know that Lippert (supplied by Ultra-Fab) was very recently redesigned with thicker parts to eliminate bending problems. You should note that the Lippert system is NOT rated for levelling, only stabilizing.
The Powertwin II is a whole other animal with very thick metal and 4 motors rated at 6000 LBS of lift PER foot. It specifically says it is for stabilization and levelling. If you compare the shipping weight of the Ultra-Fab economy rear stabilizer (that I believe is the model they supply to Lippert) you will see that it weighs 68 LBS vs the 125 for the Ultra-Fab Powertwin II 30. Subtract the extra motor and you are looking at a net weight difference of 48 LBS, most of which is structural steel.
The economy system is rated at 3200 LBS but I am not sure if that is for each foot or the whole system. The way it is written it seems to be for the whole assembly. Compare that to the PTII that is rated at 6000 LBS per foot for a total of 1200 LBS per unit. It takes serious steel to do that,
In terms of stabilization it employs triangles to stop any rocking. The fact that the two legs are coupled also eliminates rocking introduced by the trailer itself flexing due to loads placed on individual stabs mounted at the four corners.
