What Wheeled Trailer Jack to Use on Corners of Bar-b-que Table Holding a Big Green Egg Cooker

Question:

Is this the small jack of this type that you make? I am planning on using this type jack for a 4foot x 6foot grilling able that weighs about 400 lbs. I want to use something like a 5inch or 6inch pneumatic tire. Im putting one on each corner. This will allow both easy moving and leveling.

We offer a number of wheeled trailer jacks that might be adapted to your application for use on the corners of your Big Green Egg bar-b-que table.

I suggest you first take a look at the Pro-Series # PSEJ10000101. This is a bolt-on marine trailer swivel jack intended to mount to a 3 x 5-inch trailer tongue. Note this product uses a solid plastic wheel that is 6 inches in diameter. The jack offers 1000-lb capacity and 10 inches of lift.

Fulton offers a 1200-lb-capacity swivel jack, part # FTJ12000101, that has a similar mounting scheme, 6-inch solid plastic wheel and 10-inch lift.

Dutton-Lainson offers their Trailer Jack # DL22300, which is similar to both products above, but which uses a bolt-on mounting system that may better lend itself to use on the lower supports of your wood table.

I have linked videos for each of these products.

Please note that jacks of this type typically do not use pneumatic tires; such tires are most often found on products like a trailer dolly, such as the Trailer Valet # STC-V211. Since you will be using four jacks on your table there will be only a small weight load on each one; this should enable easy movement of the table fiom your garage to your cooking destination.
