Recommended Nice A-Frame Jack For Heavy Car Hauler

Question:

Looking to replace an A-frame trailer jack. I dont know the capacity of the old broken jack, but the trailer is a 16x7 tandem axle flatbed rated at 7000lb. I haul cars on it. I am looking for a NICE jack that can last a long time and also has the ability to be used with a cordless impact gun. I always have one of those with me to change lug nuts on cars. That would save a lot of time. thank you. Often I use the jack to lift the front of the trailer which also lifts the back of the truck, to make the approach angle less for lower cars. So it needs to be strong.

Hi Aaron; so there isn't anything that can be used with a cordless impact gun, that's just not something that is attainable. But for a strong, fast, heavy-duty A-frame jack that can handle the weight you need? That we can do with the Phoenix jack:

- Phoenix Electric Trailer Jack # UF38-944040

This has a 4,000 lb lift capacity which is more than enough for your 7,000 lb car hauler trailer to use in the manner you described. It also extends 6 inches in just under 10 seconds which I know doesn't sound fast but is truly blazing in the world of trailer jacks (admittedly not impact-gun fast, but still speedy).

The # UF38-944040 also has a set memory so you can just hit a button and it will go to the exact height you need, which is also going to save a bunch of time. The jack has a 10-year warranty so it'll last you, and is absolutely the nicest possible jack for your use.

What about non powered? I do not have power on the trailer.

@Aaron The most powerful of those is the 5k Trailer Valet JXC Trailer Jack # TV94FR. This also allows you to use any 18-volt to 24-volt compact drill to operate if you don't want to use the hand crank.
