Expert Answers about Chevrolet Trailer Jack


  • Which Scissor Jack Can Be Used for Changing Tires on 3500 lb Trailer
  • The scissor jacks we sell such as the # JSC-30-IND are meant to stabilize a trailer so it doesn't rock or pitch as you're walking around inside. The primary reason is that the jacks of this type that we carry aren't meant for changing tires is that the jacks are meant to be permanently installed on the underside of a trailer. If they're not bolted in place to the trailer frame, the jack could very easily slip off the jack and cause injury. A small bottle jack like # ALL640405 which has...

  • Availability of a Replacement Jack for the Fulton A Frame 5000 lb Trailer Jack
  • Jacking a dual axle trailer high enough to raise the front tires off of the ground is not how the jack is designed. All of the weight of the trailer in front of the rear axle and the weight of the axles springs wheels and tires would be on the jack and at that point it would be at an angle. Jacks are rated for loads that are mostly up and down and not at an angle. This situation will most likely cause any wheel to fail. The best recommendation I could make for maneuvering the trailer when...

  • Recommended Electric A-Frame Trailer Jack for a Sure Trac Dump Trailer
  • I do have an option for you, however we do not carry any hydraulic A-Frame trailer jacks so the best we can offer is for you to replace your jack with an electric jack. The Electric Jack w/ Footplate # EJ-3520-BBX is a great choice if you're interested. This jack has a 24" lift, a 3,500 lb lift capacity, and will easily connect to the battery on your trailer for power.

  • Looking for a Replacement Trailer Jack for a Magic Tilt Trailer with a RAM 2,000 lb Jack
  • From what I could find, most Magic Tilt trailers use bolt-on swivel jacks. The only swivel jacks that we carry with a weight capacity over 2,000 lbs are weld-on jacks like the Pro Series Round, Pipe-Mount Swivel Jack w/ Footplate - Sidewind - 15" Lift - 5,000 lbs # PS1401440303. This jack has a bracket that welds to the trailer frame, and it swivels around the weld-on bracket, and it uses a foot plate base rather than a wheel caster. I have attached a review video of this jack for you to...

  • Electric Trailer Jack Recommendations for a 2014 Coleman 262BH Camper
  • Based on the size of your 2014 Coleman 262BH camper, I recommend going with a jack rated for 3,500 lbs. This is the most common size electric jack out there, so the good news is you have quite a few options. Keep in mind, the jack does not have to be rated for the weight of your trailer because it is only lifting the tongue weight of your trailer, but I will admit that jack weight capacities really don't make much sense for trailer tongue weights or gross vehicle weights. It looks like...

  • Recommended Trailer Jack For My 4,800 Pound Trailer
  • When replacing your electric jack back to a manual jack The Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000 will work for you. There are different benefits between both the manual jack and electric jack, but either one will work for you. The electric jacks will be faster, but when you're in a crunch with no sort of power the manual jack will always work. The Stromberg Carlson jack has an easy, bolt-on installation for A-frame trailers. The sidewind handle has a smooth, ergonomic design...

  • How to Choose the Correct Jack for a Small Utility Trailer
  • When choosing a jack for your trailer you will want to choose a jack that has enough lift to lift the coupler over the hitch ball on the tow vehicle. I would recommend hooking your trailer to your truck and, with additional help, lift the trailer coupler a few inches above the hitch ball. With the trailer tongue lifted, find an appropriate location for the jack on your trailer tongue and measure from the center of the frame to the ground. This will tell you the approximate extended height...

  • Recommended Made in the USA A-Frame Trailer Jack
  • Bulldog A-frame jacks like the # BD155033 are made overseas, but there are some Made in the USA options available. If you're looking for an American made A-Frame trailer jack, the A-Frame Trailer Jack - Topwind - 2,000 lbs. by Dutton-Lainson # DL22781 has very similar specs and is made in Hastings, NE. Since this jack doesn't come with a foot/wheel you can use either the Removable Steel Foot with Pin for A-Frame Trailer Jacks by Dutton-Lainson # DL22542 or Removable Wheel with Pin for...

  • Replacement Side Frame Trailer Jack For Small Boat Trailer
  • The Round Swivel Marine Jack w/ Wheel # MJ-1206B will work great for your small boat trailer. The trailer jack has a bolt-on installation to the side of your trailer. The jack has a swivel design that allows you to swing jack up for storage, and down for use. The jack has a lift capacity up to 1,000 pounds. When the trailer jack is extended it is 23-1/2 inches long. Using this jack will make it easier than your original because the inner tube rotates with the wheel allowing you to move...

  • Which Swivel Jack for Trailer with 2980 GVWR
  • You will want to choose a trailer jack that either meets or exceeds the tongue weight of your trailer. Typically, the tongue weight is calculated as 10 to 15 percent of the weight of the fully loaded trailer. Given the 2980 lb figure you provided, you would need a jack with a minimum capacity of 500 lbs. The Pro Series Swivel Jack you referenced, part # PS1401610383 would certainly work for you, but the 3000 lb lift capacity would be overkill, as you are only needing to support the trailer...

  • Trailer Jacks for Stabilizing and Lifting 5th Wheel Trailer
  • When you need to remove a hub from your 5th wheel trailer to do wheel bearing inspection and re-packing you'll want to use a jack that lifts the trailer at the I-beam at the side of the frame. Scissor jack stabilizers like # UF48-979002 are not meant for lifting so much as for supporting a portion of the trailer's weight. You certainly CAN use a scissor jack to stabilize the trailer at camp. A safer way to remove your wheel and hub is the Andersen Rapid Jack # AM3620 or the Blaylock #...

  • Can a Manual Raise/Lower Trailer Jack Be Converted to Be Used With a Drill
  • The only jack that can be converted to be used with a drill would be the Bulldog single speed jacks with a 12K capacity. If you have this jack then you'd just need the conversion kit # BD1824200100 and the gear kit # BD500212. Otherwise, you'd need to just replace the jack with one that can be used with a drill like the Trailer Valet JXC Trailer Jack w/ Footplate and Drill Powered Option # TV94FR.

  • Is There a Pneumatic Trailer Jack Wheel Available
  • I may have a solution for you, but we don't carry any true pneumatic wheels for swiveling trailer jacks-they're typically only going to be used on heavy duty trailer jacks and dollies like the Trailer Valet # STC-V211. With that said, you may be able to use the Replacement Wheel for Brophy Heavy-Duty Cable Camper Jacks # 1206 which is a replacement for the Brophy # CX74 or # CXHD jack. This is a 2 piece wheel with a hard rubber tire, as opposed to a single piece plastic wheel that you'll...

  • Drop Leg Jacks Needed for Loading Equipment on a 14,000 lb Equipment Trailer
  • The Pro Series Square Jack - Drop Leg w/ Spring Return, # PS1400950376, that you referenced would work well for your trailer, but you would most likely have to do some fabrication to install this jack on each side at the rear. The outside dimension of this jack is 4 inches square. I produced a short video showing 3 jacks, the one you mentioned, the same jack without a spring return drop leg, # PS1400990376, and an 8,000 lb jack, # PS1400800383, that would most likely work also. Two 8,000...

  • Top Mount Trailer Hitch Crank Handle For Enclosed Racecar Trailer
  • From your description, it sounds like your crank handle is similar to the Replacement Handle for Fulton Hand Winch # F501108. If is not the product you need, can you send me pictures? Can I have the make and model of your racecar trailer?

  • Easy To Use Side Mount Manual Crank Trailer Jack
  • We have a variety of side mount trailer jacks, however, all of which are manual crank. The only electric jacks available are for a-frame trailers. Although we do not have an electric jack that attaches to the side of the trailer frame, we do however have several options with a drop leg feature that will eliminate the need for strenuous cranking. I recommend using the Dutton-Lainson Bolt-On, Drop Leg Trailer Jack part # DL22320 as this has the drop leg feature that will minimize the amount...

  • Availability of a Dual Leg Electric Trailer Jack for a 3 Horse Trailer with Living Quarters
  • I have posted a link below to the electric powered jacks that we carry. At this time we do not carry hydraulic trailer jacks. There is an option for converting the Bulldog Square Jack - Drop Leg w/ Non-Spring Return - Sidewind - 12-1/2 inch Lift - 12,000 lbs, item # BD182400, to an electrically operated jack. The Bulldog Powered-Drive Kit for Single-Speed Jacks w/ 12,000-lb Capacity, item # BD1824200100, can be used with the # BD182400 jack. The final option that we have that may work...

  • Recommended Replacement For A-Frame Trailer Jack For 1999 Jayco Heritage Laurel Trailer
  • For an A-frame jack that matches, I recommend the A-Frame Trailer Jack by Dutton-Lainson # DL22530. This jack will have an inner tube diameter of 1-3/4 inches and an outer diameter of 2 inches. It is constructed of heavy duty steel and has a zinc plated finish that will help it resist corrosion. With this jack, I recommend adding the Removable Foot Plate, Item # DL22541 or the Removable Wheel, Item # DL22414. I have attached an article and a video for you to check out.
