Determining The Correct Electric Tongue Jack For A Big Toe BE-5 12K Bobcat Trailer
Question:
Do you carry an electric tongue jack that can lift a BIG TOW BE-5 12K GVW tandem axle bobcat trailer? I am not sure what the tongue weight is unloaded.

Expert Reply:
Tongue weight is going to typically be 10-15% of the trailer's GWVR, so at 12,000lbs you'd be looking at roughly 1,200-1,800lbs maximum tongue weight (when properly loaded). If the trailer is an A-Frame bumper pull then the Phoenix Electric Trailer Jack # UF38-944055 you were looking at would be a compatible fit. It has a 5,500lb capacity and is one of the fastest jacks currently on the market. If it's not an A-Frame send me some pictures and I'd be happy to take a look and figure out what options will work.
