Expert Reply:
An electric A-frame trailer jack only needs to support the tongue weight of your trailer, which is approximately 10% to 15% of your trailer's GVWR. Almost all A-frame jacks nowadays are rated for way more than they'll ever be required to move, so you have a ton of choices for a 7,000 lb trailer, and I'll go over the best options for you.
- The Best: Phoenix Electric Trailer Jack - A-Frame - 22-1/2" Lift - 4,000 lbs # UF38-944040
This baby is all about speed, travelling 10 inches in just 18 seconds, which is lightning speed for an A-frame jack. It also has a LED light so you can see what you're doing at night and simple to find and use buttons for control.
- The Budget-Friendly Jack: etrailer Electric Jack w/ Footplate - A-Frame - 25-1/8" Lift - 3.5K # EJ-3520-BBX
This jack is not particularly fast, and it has a simple toggle switch that allows you to operate it. What the jack has going for it is its economical price point. So if you don't mind waiting a little longer for your jack to raise or lower your 7,000 lb trailer, this is a very solid option.
