Specs:
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.

This Dutton-Lainson industrial side wind jack is a pipe mounted swivel style jack with a base foot.I needed one replacement for a piece of equipment that has six of these. I purchased two to have a spare for the future. The design is what it is, made by the manufacturer (Dutton-Lainson) nothing surprising there, it is just a good design. What amazed me was the smoothness of the operation when winding it to set it correctly for operation. Makes me want to replace the other 5 units. Night and day difference. I did not realize just how degraded the other units were. Great price for a very nice piece of equipment. etrailer.com had the best price for this brand/model by a significant amount and this manufacturer and specific model is harder to find than some of the other brands. I definitely look at etrailer.com for parts when I need them. Most of the time they are my first choice. Good company good people.
nice product, fast ship, thanks.
Always very easy to work with and staying on the professional level helps. Paperwork always follows which is most important.
Making it easy to go through the order process only adds a plus to order more when needed.
Works great!
