Expert Reply:
The scissor jacks we sell such as the # JSC-30-IND are meant to stabilize a trailer so it doesn't rock or pitch as you're walking around inside. The primary reason is that the jacks of this type that we carry aren't meant for changing tires is that the jacks are meant to be permanently installed on the underside of a trailer. If they're not bolted in place to the trailer frame, the jack could very easily slip off the jack and cause injury.
A small bottle jack like # ALL640405 which has a 4000 lb capacity would really be the way to go, and it's quite a bit more cost effective than the jack you'd looked at..
