What Is the Weight Capacity of the Ark Drop Down Corner RV Stabilizer Jack Kit

Question:

Hello, Could you tell me what the stabilizing corner swing down stands are rated for? We have some low boy trailers and one of them has a couple swing down supports but I cannot find a make / model for them. I need something stronger than 1000lbs per stand to help stabilize loading a trailer with a skidsteer @ most. regards,

I checked with Ark, the manufacturer, and they do not list a specific weight capacity for the Ark Drop Down Corner RV Stabilizer Jack Kit part # ARK34FR. This is because the stabilizers are just that, stabilizers, they are only designed to stabilize a portion of the trailer not support its weight. I know this can be frustrating to consumers but you just need to use your best judgment in regards to weight. The exact literature of the manufacturer in regards to capacity is as follows, "Corner steadies are not designed to lift the trailer or caravan off the ground. They are designed to stabilize the trailer or caravan when stationary."

That said, we do have other similar jacks which are tested and given a weight capacity by the manufacturer, the Stallion Stabilizer Jacks part # 288-01892-2 which are rated for 1,000 lbs are the most we offer.
