Can Scissor Jacks Be Used to Level a 24 Foot Heavy Duty Car Hauler Trailer
Question:
Im leveling a 24 heavy-duty car trailer. Would I choose scissor jacks or pole jacks? Scissors seem to say not for leveling They say they are for stabilizing, yet they have 3000# or more lifting capacity. Would the scissors be too prone to slipping? Thanks for clearing this up.

Expert Reply:
Scissor jacks # UF48-979002 are meant to support weight but not lift it like you said so these jacks would not be the best option for your trailer.
Scissor jack # JSC-30-IND is listed as having the ability to raise, lower, and stabilize so you could use it with handle # JCH-1. Or use drill attachment # UF48-979005 to speed up the process.
