Dutton-Lainson pipe mount swivel style top wind trailer jack with foot.
Features:
A trailer jack is designed to lift the tongue of your trailer so you can connect the trailer coupler to your hitch ball. To do this, you'll need a jack with a lift capacity high enough to handle your trailer's tongue weight.
Tongue weight is the amount of weight that your trailer applies to the back of your tow vehicle. Typically, your tongue weight should be 10-15% of your total trailer weight (trailer + cargo). In other words, a 10,000-lb trailer would have a tongue weight between 1,000 lbs and 1,500 lbs. For a trailer this size, you would need a jack with a lift capacity of at least 1,500 lbs.
It's okay to have a jack with a weight rating that is higher than your trailer's tongue weight. In fact, a jack with a higher lift capacity should operate more efficiently, allowing you to spend less time cranking and more time camping.
Every jack offers a certain amount of lift or travel. Screw travel is the distance the jack extends when you crank it (or toggle it to "extend" on an electric model). Some jacks include a drop leg for extra adjustability. On these jacks, you'll see the maximum extension of the drop leg listed in the specs as well. Adding the screw travel and drop leg travel together will give you the total lift. The total lift listed above can help you determine how high this jack will be able to raise your trailer.

Today we're going to be taking a look at part number DL22679. This is the Dutton-Lainson pipe mount swivel style trailer jack. It's going to offer a capacity of 2,000 pounds. The overall height, measuring form the ground to the top of the jack, not including the handle, is going to be about fifteen and a half inches. If we do include the handle, that's going to be closer to seventeen inches. The handle here on top has a nice upright handle, allows you to get a nice, good secure grip on it.
You can see how easily that allows us to raise and lower our jack, nice smooth design, That handle radius, measuring from the center of the handle to the outer edge is going to be six and a half inches. When the jack is not in use, the handle can be rotated over and moved to a stowed position. This right here is going to be our bracket. When it's in the fully retracted position, measuring from the ground to the center of that bracket is going to be eleven and one-quarter of an inch. That's in the fully retracted position, which is the position I'm showing it to you in.
If we move it to the fully extended position, that measurement increases twenty-one and one-quarter of an inch, which is going to give this jack a lift or travel of ten inches. It's going to include the weld-on tube. That's going to have an outer diameter of two inches, as well as the five-eighth inch pin. Once you have this welded onto the frame of your trailer, you'd place the jack over the welded on portion, and then you would insert the included pin just like that. This would be in the down position. The neat feature about that weld-on tube is once the pin is pulled, it allows the jack to swivel around that welded-on tube so you can put the jack down when you're ready to use it or you can move it into an up position along the frame of your trailer during travel.
That pin is what is going to be holding it in place. It's got another pin hole on each side. That way you can move it to, or in between, the two positions. The weld-on mounting tube and the five-eighth inch pin are both included. It's also got the welded-on foot plate. That's gong to give us a measurement of seven inches by four inches.
The outer tube of this jack is going to give us a diameter of two and one-quarter of an inch, and the inner tube is going to give us a diameter of two inches. Everything has a nice black paint finish on it. Looks like the foot plate is powder coated as well as everything else so it should stand up really well against rust and corrosion. That's going to do it for our review of part number DL22679. This is the Dutton-Lainson pipe mount swivel style jack. .
