Video Transcript for Review of etrailer Trailer Jack - Side Frame Mount Top Wind Jack - TJD-8000

Today we'll be taking a look at the Square Direct-Weld Jack with Footplate. This top-line style jack is going to help us lift and lower our trailer whenever we're ready to use it, or unload and reload.So flip the handle up and operate that jack. It has a nice easy-to-grip handle here. So it's a pretty nice wide handle. You can get a good grip on there to wind your jack up or down. This is going to have a lift capacity of 7,000 pounds and a static capacity or support capacity of 8,000 pounds.

It does come with the welded-on footplate at the bottom to help disperse out the weight and make sure that we don't sink into any softer ground, like gravel, sand, or loose dirt.It comes with a pin and clip to adjust the height on that footplate. So we'll get some additional lift from that drop leg. There are going to be five adjustment holes there, and those are each spaced apart by 3.5 inches. I'll put my pin back in place and then we'll go over some measurements. Just get that clip back on there.Now, whenever this is fully retracted, like it is here, it's going to have a total height from the bottom of the footplate to the top of the handle mount of 24 and a quarter inches.

Again, when it's retracted. When it's all the way extended out, it's going to be 39.5 inches. So our total lift is 29 inches. The screw travel or the amount of travel that we get from the internal components is 15 and a quarter inches. Our drop leg gives us a total travel of 13 and three-quarters inches.

Again, our lift capacity, 7,000 pounds, support capacity is 8,000. The outer tube measures two and a quarter inches wide. The inner tube measures two inches wide.Our footplate measures seven and seven-eighths inches long by five and seven-eighths inches wide. The handle has a radius of nine and three-quarters inches. That's going from where it mounts, the center of the jack, to the outside edge of the handles that lets you know how much area you need around the jack for that to get a full swing.

So that's nine and three-quarters inches. The whole spacing, again, for our drop leg, in between each one is 3.5 inches.The handle, the footplate, and the inner tube all have a zinc coating to help resist any kind of rust and corrosion. And it also has a grease Zerk on the front there so that you can get that lubricated and keep everything working nice and smooth. It is a weld-on application.And that's going to do it for our look at the Direct-Weld Jack with Footplate.
