Electric Trailer Jack Recommendation for 7,400 lb Trailer

Question

Question:

I am looking for an electric jack. The total weight of the load is 7400 lbs. My question is, are the weight ratings on the products for total load or tongue weight?

The weight rating for trailer jacks is the vertical lifting strength they have. The Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000 is an excellent jack that has a vertical lifting strength of 5,000 lbs.

Your trailer would most likely have a tongue weight of 740 to 1,000 lbs so this jack would make easy work of it. I always recommend going much larger on electric jacks to make the lift quick and easier.

The rule of thumb for estimating a tongue weight is 10-15 percent of trailer weight. A 4,600 pound trailer would have a tongue weight between 460 and 690 pounds. Somewhere between a 1,000 to 2,000 pound capacity jack would be fine. Having a jack that…
