How to Determine the Lift Capacity You Need in a Jack

A trailer jack is designed to lift the tongue of your trailer so you can connect the trailer coupler to your hitch ball. To do this, you'll need a jack with a lift capacity high enough to handle your trailer's tongue weight.


Tongue weight is the amount of weight that your trailer applies to the back of your tow vehicle. Typically, your tongue weight should be 10-15% of your total trailer weight (trailer + cargo). In other words, a 10,000-lb trailer would have a tongue weight between 1,000 lbs and 1,500 lbs. For a trailer this size, you would need a jack with a lift capacity of at least 1,500 lbs.


It's okay to have a jack with a weight rating that is higher than your trailer's tongue weight. In fact, a jack with a higher lift capacity should operate more efficiently, allowing you to spend less time cranking and more time camping.


Trailer and Camper Jack Lift

Every jack offers a certain amount of lift or travel. Screw travel is the distance the jack extends when you crank it (or toggle it to "extend" on an electric model). Some jacks include a drop leg for extra adjustability. On these jacks, you'll see the maximum extension of the drop leg listed in the specs as well. Adding the screw travel and drop leg travel together will give you the total lift. The total lift listed above can help you determine how high this jack will be able to raise your trailer.

Excellent Jack. Slow moving but that is due to high torque. Well made, attractive design. Highly recommended!
Solved the problem of busting my knuckles on the propane tanks while cranking the old jack.

Great...no problems.

I received my new Bulldog jack fast after placing my order. It took me about 20 minutes to remove my old one and install the new one. This Bulldog jack is quieter than the previous one and moved up and down real well.
I needed to hook up in the evening before I left for my camping trip and will say the nice led light this jack comes with gives a very nice lighting to be able to see everything needed to hook up my trailer to my truck. I hope this one lasts much longer than my previous one. Time will tell but so far I really like the way this Bulldog jack operates



by:

Great jack. Just what I needed to allow my tailgate to open while hooked up to my travel trailer



by:

High quality, excsllent fit and finish, extension leg is very flexible for setting the length of the leg to accomodate any parking on a pitched parking sopot.



by:

I just installed this unit. It was so simple and easy to install. It took about 30 min ( minus the 2 hr it took to grind out 20 year old bolts from the manual jack). I love the sleek look of the unit. Gave it a test run and it's so quiet. I have a bumper pull horse trailer with a small living quarters and it lifted and retracted with no issues. Very happy with this product.



by:

Haven’t installed it yet, but no instructions in the box is a very poor start!



by:

Fair price. Quick shipping. Arrived as promised.Installation video was very helpful, as were the instructions. Add the drop leg BEFORE bolting the unit in place. Otherwise, you need to raise the tongue to get the leg underneath. Simple install.



by:

The jack has worked well on my 24' enclosed car trailer.
It's a little slow going up which is to be expected with the weight of the car and trailer.

Great, very happy with the purchase.



by:

Bought this to replace the original jack on our R-Pod 195 that water got the best of. I was able to mount it in the sideways option and now we can drop the tailgate while still hooked up. It's the cat's meow!



by:

Very nice, simple product. Easy install and operates quietly and smoothly.



by:

What a dream come true! This electric jack replaced my old hand crank unit on my 24 foot travel trailer.

Installation was very simple with the one wire hook up. What I like most about this jack is the drop leg. This jack extends so far that now I won't need to bring all my boards (for lifting height) with me just to get the trailer off of the hitch.

Not included was a ring terminal for attaching the wire to the battery, but thats okay because I had one laying around. Another thing that I did, was that I found some flat washers to use between the head of the mounting bolt and the jack. The provided lock washers looked like they'd pull through the mounting plate.

Just be aware that the motor unit on the jack protrudes to the back and front of the center line of the jack tube. I'll have to deal with some clearance issues between the jack motor and my propane tanks. This isn't a flaw with the jack, just a quirk with my particular trailer setup.

Its a very nicely built jack, feels solid and heavy in your hand. Its powerful too. It had no problem picking up the trailer and my 2007 F-150 in order to install my weight distributing bars.

If you need a ring terminal to wire this jack part # BD500187 I recommend part # DW05705-1 for a 3/8 stud size, part 44-5310A for a 3/16 stud size or part 44-5356A for a 5/16 stud size. All of these ring terminals will work with 12-10 Gauge Wire. Deka 10 gauge wire part # 10-1-1 will work well if you need extra wire.

Jack still working great after one year. Hooking up the trailer is so easy. I don’t Miss that old hand crank at all.



by:

A well built and quiet running product. We had Bulldog unit on our old trailer. My no name factory tongue jack on our new trailer lasted 17 months before the motor died. The BD unit is more expensive but it's built to last.



by:

ordering and free delivery was nice, arrived in good condition, easy to install, justed installed and works well, beats raising and lowering trailer by hand, 26 ft enclosed trailer



by:

great customer service, quick delivery. Lauren A is allways helpful goes out of her way to help.



by:

Working great after a year. It's nice to just push the button to raise the trailer tongue.



by:

So far, so good. Hopefully will outlast the terrible SmartJack it replaced.



by:

My customer loves it. Just what he needed for his equipment trailer.

Still working like a dream ! Very happy..



by:

Easy install! The wiring is a bit bigger in diameter than I was expecting, so larger heat shrink butt connectors would have been helpful, but we got the job done! Excited to use this instead of hand-cranking the trailer on and off the truck 3-4 times a week!



by:

Great product and easy install! Customer service great with placing order and follow up!



by:

Very happy with the performance of our Bulldog. The name fits. What a difference as compared to a manual jack. Well worth the modest expense, and installation was hardly rocket science. The built in light is a great feature for evening set ups. A minor tip - cover the motor during outside storage to limit the risk of water seepage into the unit. Our experience with etrailer was also very positive.

Still working as expected!



by:

The Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 14" Lift - 3,500 lbs - Black was very quick and easy to install. Seems to work great. This is on a small 3700 lb travel trailer and lifts with ease. Need to determine how far to ext and retract as not to blow fuses but it works great so far. Can't wait to take it out and see how it performs camping.

Working great with no problems for a year



by:

It's been a year now, and my jack is working just like it did a year ago when I installed it on my 32ft wildwood camper. Still smooth motion up and down. I really enjoy having it. Makes camping so much easier. One of the best purchase decisions I have made! I do have a cover I put on it when I bought it new, so it has never been wet, or exposed to sunlight. I can work the buttons on the jack through the cover, so I never take it off. I do love the jack. Thank you guys so much for good quality at a great great price!

Its been a year and still woring as good as day one. Love it!



by:

The product came well packaged... on the second shipment! The first one was open and not good looking. Stuff happens, and it was corrected very quickly by etrailer reshipping a perfectly new Jack. And it works good and is really strong. Very happy with etrailer service and the Bulldog product.

Gilles

After a year, product works as it should, I am very happy.



by:

Jack arrived in 2 days. Fits great and easy to install. Jack head only sticks out 3 inches from front of tube, closer then most. This allows me to open tailgate without hitting jack. I use an extended reciever for more clearance. Light on jack also shines in the bed of truck.

  • Recommended Electric Trailer Jack And Wiring To 7-Way 12V Connection
    For a 3500 lb Electric Jack, I recommend the Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 14" Lift - 3,500 lbs - Black # BD500187. This jack uses a 12 volt system, so it is compatible with your 7-way although a battery is always a better option like # 20099. To use the 7-way, this can be done by splicing into the trailer harness wiring or using a junction box like # 38656. If you want the juction box and 7 way you can use # HS381-9000. Whether you choose to splice into...

For a weight capacity of 1,600lbs I recommend Wide-Track Wheel Assembly for Fulton F2 Adjustable A-Frame Jack - 8" Diameter product # F500266.

  • Can Leg on 4000 lb Powered Trailer Jack Be Replaced
    If it's the drop leg like # BD500190 that's bent, you certainly can replace it if it's not bent to the point where you can pull the pin and slide the drop leg out. The # BD500190 would be the proper replacement for a Bulldog # BD500185, # BD500187, and # BD500188 powered A-Frame jack, or a jack that would accept a 1-3/4 inch diameter drop leg. If the leg that's bent isn't removable, then you'll need to replace the jack. I'd recommend the Bulldog # BD500199 which has a 4000 lb lift capacity...

  • Replacement Switches for a Bulldog Electric A-Frame Trailer Jack
    It sounds like there may be a short in your Bulldog jack which could have been caused by excessive moisture from the rain. Also I recommend checking the wiring from the jack to the ground and power sources. The jack grounds through the mounting hardware so you may need to temporarily remove the jack (be sure to support the trailer another way) and sand away any corrosion. Also check for corrosion or damage to the power wire and where it connects to the battery. The light switch itself...

  • Does the Bulldog Powered Drive Trailer Jack Need a Head Cover
    The Bulldog Powered Drive Trailer Jack part # BD500187 has built-in gaskets within the head unit so further weatherproofing is not required but keeping the jack head covered will ensure the sun does not break down the gaskets over time so it's not a bad idea to keep it covered with something such as the Ultra-Fab Protective Cover for Electric A-Frame Jacks part # UF38-944020.

  • Shortest Profile Electric Tongue Jack Available For Hatchback Door Clearance
    The lowest profile A-Frame Trailer Jack we currently carry is the Bulldog Powered Drive Trailer Jack # BD500187 which has a 20-1/2" height from the mounting plate to the top of the jack. That being said you do still need to consider the weight capacity of the jack if you can provide me with the weight capacity of your current jack or the GVWR of your trailer I can find the shortest option in that weight class.

  • Powered Trailer Jack Recommendation for Skyline Koala 24RBK Travel Trailer
    According to my research, the GVWR of the 24RBK is almost 6000 lbs, which means that in the worst-case scenario the tongue weight would be just under 900 lbs. When you're choosing a powered jack, I'm a firm believer in overkill. Choosing a jack with a much higher capacity than you actually need means that the jack won't have to work so hard and should operate more reliably in the long run. The Bulldog # BD500187 would be an excellent choice. The jack has a 3500 lb capacity, which is more...

    The mounting flange of the # BD500187 will match up to the triangular mounting bracket on your trailer.

  • Electric Tongue Jack Recommendation for A-Frame Trailer with 2-1/4 Inch Mounting Hole
    To answer your question, no, you do not have to use a jack with an outer tube dimension of 2-1/4 inches. An electric jack like the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack, # UF38-944017, with a 2 inch outer tube diameter can be mounted on your travel trailer even though the jack mounting hole is 2-1/4 inches in diameter. When it comes to installing the jack, the mounting flange was designed with slotted bolt holes to allow for installation on an a-frame trailer with a 2 inch or 2-1/4 inch opening....

  • Troubleshooting Bulldog 3500 lb Electric Trailer Jack That Does Not Fully Retract Without Load
    Usually when this occurs, it's because the jack has been over extended; there is a small lock nut in the channel on the inner tube of this jack that if it's over extended will cut into the V channel on the inside. When this happens, it damages the functioning of the jack. This was confirmed with my contact over at Horizon Global, who own Bulldog. Because of this, you're likely going to need to replace it. A good replacement for your jack would be the Bulldog # BD500187, which is the same...
