Powered A-Frame Trailer Jack for Use in Limited Space

Question

Question:

I am looking for a replacement power A frame jack. I have limited space between the jack and my propane tank cover. I am replacing a Super Jack the motor is good but the jack brake no longer works and s from the weight of the trailer. I have temporarily installed a hand crank jack. What power jack do you have with the least space requirement to the rear?

At right you will find a link to all of our powered A-frame jacks. These vary in weight capacity, installation method and lift height.

I checked the dimensions of many of these and based on the photo I have linked, the Stromberg Carlson # JET-2500 appears to require the least space to the rear - about 1-inch. I added various other dimensions to the photo to assist you in evaluating it for your application.
