Will Using Andersen Rapid Jack Put Too Much Stress on Other Wheels/Axles and Can Trailer Roll Off  

Question:

Two questions regarding the Andersen Rapid Jack. First, is there any concern with overloading an axle when using it since all the weight from one wheel is transferred to the adjacent wheel and axle? Also, it looks like you could overshoot the Rapid Jack and roll the tire right off of it. Is it designed to prevent you from accidentally rolling too far and off the jack? Thanks.

Expert Reply:

You would not run into an overload condition using the Rapid Jack # AM3620. Whether you are using it or a regular jack there will be some additional weight and stress on the other wheels but it isn't enough to cause a problem.

You could roll off the jack so it helps to have a spotter who can scream and wave their arms at you when you have reached the sweet spot of the jack.
