PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS REDFOOT'S LIFT SYSTEM. IT IS NOT THEIR STABILISATION SYSTEM.

Benefits:

• One touch, push button Auto-Level operation
• Prevents vehicle rocking and motion
• 4x included stabiliser pads to prevent sinking
• Simple plug and play wiring installation
• Reduces levelling time
• Huge lifting capacity up to 5 tonnes and a system weight of 60-70kg
• Push button ‘All-Retract’ feature
• Remote radio frequency operation
• Auto level display panel
• Audible and visual prompts notify user when levelling is in progress and complete
• Stow jacks quickly and easily
• Standard with manual override

It is no wonder the Redfoot AutoLift Levelling System has quickly become the number one choice for caravan owners. The automatic, one touch operation levels a Caravan in less than two minutes, operating each leg independently in a sequential process.

Stabilisation vs Lift Systems

Choosing between a Redfoot Caravan Stabilisation System and a full Redfoot Hydraulic or Heavy-Duty Levelling/Lift System boils down to a single question: Are you trying to stop your van from rocking, or do you need to physically lift it off the ground to level it?

Both systems replace the pain of manual cranking, but they serve completely different structural purposes.

1. Redfoot Caravan Stabilisation System

This system features four independently controlled electric motorized legs designed to replace your traditional manual corner steadies.

How it works: You park your van, use standard ramps or blocks to get the caravan roughly level, and then press a button on a remote control to drop the legs down until they firmly brace the chassis against the ground.

Weight & Capacity: It’s a relatively lightweight system (~57kg) with a general supporting capacity up to 2,000kg. It provides roughly 100mm of minor adjustment lift. 

Choose the Stabiliser System if:

Your primary goal is stopping movement: You are sick of the van rocking when someone rolls over in bed, steps inside, or when the slide-outs are extended.

You have a lighter caravan: Your van's Gross Trailer Mass (GTM) is under 2 tonnes.

You don’t mind basic ramp leveling: You are perfectly fine driving up onto plastic ramps or blocks to level the axle, but you just want to get rid of the physical strain of bending down to wind down the corner legs.

Budget and payload are priorities: The stabiliser system is more affordable and has a lighter impact on your caravan's total payload capacity.

2. Redfoot Hydraulic or AutoLift Levelling Systems

These are heavy-duty, one-touch automatic systems utilizing robust hydraulic or massive electric jacks permanently bolted directly to the main chassis rails.

How it works: You pull up to a terribly uneven campsite, push a single button, and the system automatically calculates the slope and physically lifts the entire caravan off its suspension to level it in less than 90 seconds—no chocks or ramps required.

 Weight & Capacity: These are incredibly strong setups capable of lifting large, heavy dual-axle caravans or motorhomes (often rated up to 6,000kg total lift).

Choose the Lift/Levelling System if:

You want a true "one-touch" setup: You want to skip wheel ramps, spirit levels, and manual chocking entirely. The jacks independently adjust to the terrain automatically.

You travel in a heavy or large rig: You own a large dual-axle caravan, a heavy off-road hybrid, or a motorhome that easily exceeds 2–3 tonnes.

You want to lift the wheels for maintenance: Because these are true lifting jacks, they can raise the caravan's wheels entirely off the ground, making changing a flat tire on the side of the road significantly safer and easier.

You have appliances highly sensitive to tilt: If you run high-end 3-way fridges or medical equipment (like CPAP machines) that fail if the van has even a minor tilt, the precise auto-levelling logic is worth the investment.

Direct Comparison

A Quick Warning on Ground Clearance: Before committing to the Stabiliser system, measure your under-chassis-to-ground clearance. Redfoot notes that if your clearance is above 450mm (common on some high-riding off-road setups), the stabilizer legs may not have enough extension reach to work properly without stacking blocks underneath them.

Electric vs Hydraulic AutoLift Systems

Choosing between Redfoot’s Electric AutoLift and Hydraulic Levelling systems comes down to finding the right balance between installation complexity, your caravan's weight, and how rugged your camping style is.

Both systems offer true one-touch automatic leveling in under 90 seconds, but their internal mechanics suit very different needs.

Choose the Electric AutoLift System if:

You want a cleaner, simpler installation: Because the AutoLift system relies entirely on individual, high-torque 12V electric motorized jacks, there are no high-pressure fluid lines to route along your chassis. This eliminates any risk of hydraulic fluid leaks down the road.

Storage space is at a premium: Electric systems don't require you to sacrifice a storage locker or under-chassis space to mount a centralized hydraulic pump and oil reservoir.

You have a standard to large caravan: The electric AutoLift handles everyday single and dual-axle caravans beautifully.

You want to lower upfront costs: Electric setups are generally less mechanically complex and quicker to fit, making them a more budget-friendly entry point into automatic leveling.

Choose the Hydraulic Levelling System if:

You tow a massive, heavy, or off-road rig: If you own a heavy-duty off-road hybrid, a large dual-axle van, or a motorhome, hydraulics offer unmatched raw lifting capacity (up to 28 tonnes total lift capacity across the range).

You camp in deep mud, sand, or freezing conditions: Redfoot’s hydraulic cylinders are double-acting, meaning they use forced hydraulic power to both push down and pull back up. While electric jacks rely on mechanical gears to wind back up, hydraulics will easily rip the footpads out of thick, sticky mud or frozen ground without straining.

You want ultimate mechanical durability: Sealed in oil and protected from dust, grime, and road salt, hydraulic cylinders have fewer exposed moving parts to wear down over years of rugged, off-grid touring.

The Takeaway

Go Electric AutoLift if you want an easy-to-install, clutter-free system for standard caravan parks and light off-grid touring. Go Hydraulic if you have a heavy rig and need maximum brute strength, and bulletproof reliability in harsh terrain.
