Trailer Jacks
Trailer jacks play an essential part in getting your trailer to the proper height for loading or unloading from the tow vehicle. A trailer jack does the work for you to prevent the need for manual lifting of the trailer tongue, Making trailer hookups and disconnection much quicker and easier. Trailer jacks are used when leveling a disconnected trailer. The jack can be used to raise the front of the trailer while parked to promote water runoff and drainage. Trailer jacks are either manual or electric. Manual hand crank jacks come in side-wind or top-wind models. Due to other trailer parts getting in the way of the cranking lever, you may need to select one style over the other so your winding motion isn’t restricted. Electric trailer jacks operate off a 12 Volt battery. They are essential for very heavy trailers which can be difficult to hand crank. An electric trailer jack also works well for leveling travel trailers. Trailer jacks are available with a rolling wheel or a stationary flat foot base and come in a variety of sizes. From support capacity to lift capacity, check your trailer jack’s rating to ensure that it can handle the expected load. We have a wide selection of trailer jack sizes and styles available to match your needs.
