We have exactly what you would need. I recommend the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack Item # JET-5000. This jack has more than enough capacity as it is rated for 5,000 lbs of tongue weight which is much more than your 6,200 lb trailer would have. Typically tongue weight is 10-15 percent of the total trailer weight. So in your case it would be around 620 lbs.

If he wants a powered jack he would love this one. Getting a jack with higher than capacity than needed helps it work faster and without effort. This causes the jack to last longer.

Check out the review and install video I attached for this jack as well.
