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.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this etrailer bolt-on squared sideline A-frame jack with the drop leg and the footplate. It has a 3,000 pound lift capacity. Now, this utility jack will let you raise and lower your trailer, so it is ideal for agricultural and commercial applications. It is a bolt-on installation to a standard A-frame trailer. And when it's bolted on, it'll give you a clearance from the bottom of the bracket to the bottom or the top of the jack of 17-5/8 inches.
It is a sideline handle. It has a nice sink finish on it for a nice attractive look and rust resistance. And the radius on the handle is about 8-1/8 inches. Now, it does offer a drop leg on here to allow an increased lift of 13-1/2 inches, which will save you time when you're raising or lowering your trailer. Basically the pin and the clip right here is what'll hold the leg at your desired location.
So basically, if you need to crank it up quite a bit to save you some time, pop out the pin and the clip, drop the leg down to a position you need, put the pin and clip in, and then it saves you the time of having to crank all that distance. Right up at the top, your handle does have a built-in grease Zerk fitting that'll allow you to attach your grease gun to there and easily lubricate the gears on the jack by just pumping grease in there. Also up at the top here, it's an open doghouse design and what that means is it makes it a lot easier to replace the gears. So you got easy access to the gears up at the top here if you need to replace them. I want to zoom in.
Has a black powder coated outer tube. That outer tube measures 2-1/4 inches by 2-1/4 inches. And the inner tube is a zinc-finished inner tube for corrosion resistance and the inner tube is two inches by two inches. The footplate, as you can see, it is a welded-on footplate, minimizes the sinking in any soft ground, and the dimensions on the footplate itself 7-1/2 inches long, like 3-3/4 inches wide. Now a few specs on this, the bracket height, which will be measured from the bottom of the footplate to the bottom of the bracket here, so right now in the position we have it in, it's fully retracted with no drop leg extension.
It's gonna measure 7-1/8 inches. If we crank the sideline handle fully all the way out, it gives you the screw travel of 15-1/4 inches. So if we cranked it all the way out, it would give you a measurement from the bottom to the bottom here of 22-3/8 inches fully extended. And the total lift this jack will give you will be that screw travel we mentioned of 15-1/4 inches. And then if you fully drop leg all the way, it's 13-1/2 inches. So that's a total of 28-3/4 inches of total lift. Lift capacity on this again is 3,000 pounds. Support capacity is 5,000 pounds. But that should do it for the review on this etrailer bolt-on square sideline A-frame jack with the drop leg and the footplate.
