Jeff: Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a look at this etrailer square sidewind weld-on jack with the spring return drop leg. Has a 12,000 pound lift capacity. Now this is a nice heavy duty single speed utility jack. This will let you raise and lower your trailer. So it is ideal for heavy duty commercial and agriculture application.

The amount of screw travel on this when you crank the handle is 13 and a half inches.The drop leg right here, which I have fully extended, has a spring return, which will increase overall extension for maximum adjustability. Has this easy to use foot lever right here positioned at the front. All you do with that is just step on. It's a dual pin foot lever. You step on it, and it'll release the drop leg to get you that 13 inch of maximum lift.Now the adjustment holes, you can see the adjustment holes.

I do have it extended all the way as far as it can go. So this is your total 13 inch drop, but you can adjust it in increments of two and a half inches. The measurements between each hole, center to center, is two and a half inches. So it'll give you a range to free or fit your application. So if you do the total lift on this, if you take the screw travel we mentioned a 13 and a half inches of cranking, and you do the drop leg of 13 inches, it can give you a total lift of 26 and a half inches.And again, just to crank this with the handle, you can see slide that on there.

Then if you crank it counterclockwise, it's going to raise the jack. And I mentioned it gets you a 13 and a half inches of screw travel. Then if you go clockwise, it's going to lower the jack. And once you get far enough, it'll stop and you can pull your handle out, and then it'll rest just like that.Now this does use a durable one and a quarter inch diameter jack screw, so it allows for heavy lifting. It does use twin thrust bearings to make extending and retracting the jack very easy.

You can easily maintain those bearings because they have these built-in grease zerk fittings right here that you can just snap your grease gun on there and pump the grease right in there. Makes it very easy to maintain.It's a nice black powder coat finish on both the inner and the outer tubes. The sidewind handle here, you can see, has nice curved edges, so there's no sharp ends. And the footplate on the very bottom is a nine inch by nine inch size footplate, so it does minimize the sinking in any soft ground. This is a nice weld-on installation.Now the height on this, in the retracted position, so if I dropped this leg all the way down, retracted it and then have this end retract, so fully retracted position, it's going to be 29 and a half inches from the bottom to the very top. Now if we crank it out 13 and a half inches and then raise the drop leg 13 inches, if you add that all together, the total extended height from the bottom to the top, it's going to be about 56 inches.We mentioned the lift capacity on this is 12,000 pounds. The support capacity is 20,000 pounds. Now the outer tube width, it's going to be four and three eighths inches. Inner tube width is four inches. But then again, just to show you, if you need to crank it, just slide the handle in. And then again, if you rotate it counterclockwise, we'll raise the jack. And clockwise will lower the jack. Then again on your drop leg operation, if he just put your foot on this lever here, push down, it'll release the dual pins, one on each side. Then you can adjust your drop leg to whatever position you need. But that should do it for the review on the etrailer square sidewind weld-on jack with the spring return drop leg, and a 12,000 pound lift capacity.
