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 jack. Just what I needed to allow my tailgate to open while hooked up to my travel trailer
by: Robert 08/27/2021
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

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.

Haven’t installed it yet, but no instructions in the box is a very poor start!
by: Patricia A06/19/2022
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: Rob H04/01/2017
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: David 08/08/2022
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: Ritchie10/18/2023
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: John 05/30/2024
Very nice, simple product. Easy install and operates quietly and smoothly.
by: Bryan06/09/2018
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: Jim 08/25/2023
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.

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

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

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

Still working like a dream ! Very happy..
by: H. Johnson04/08/2023
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!

Still working as expected!
by: Rod in B flo05/09/2019
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.

Our Bulldog performs like it just came ouu u t of the box. The Full Monty!
by: Bill P03/16/2017
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: Roger M.05/06/2019
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: Dave S10/09/2017
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.

See what our Experts say about this Bulldog Camper Jacks
- Availability of Replacement Manual Crank Handle for Bulldog Powered A-Frame Trailer JackAre you speaking of a Bulldog Powered A-Frame jack like part # BD500187 or # BD500188? If so, the replacement crank is part # BD500203. If you're speaking of a different jack, I'd be happy to look for a replacement manual crank handle if you could provide the part/model number of the jack you have.
view full answer... - Replacement Switches for a Bulldog Electric A-Frame Trailer JackIt 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...
view full answer... - What is the Lift for the Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack # BD500187The difference that you are seeing is the total lift, 14 inches, and the total travel, which is 22 inches. Total lift has to do with how much the Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack # BD500187 moves when using the motor (or hand crank if need be). The total travel includes the 14 inches of lift of the motor plus the 8 inches of the drop leg when it is fully extended. I have attached review and installation videos so that you can see how this works.
view full answer... - 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...

view full answer... - Replacement Motor Brush Springs for Lippert 181794 Powered Trailer JackUnfortunately, Lippert doesn't offer internal replacement parts for their 181794 Power Trailer Jack. Unfortunately, the best option I can recommend would be to replace the jack with something like the Bulldog Powered A-Frame Jack, part # BD500187 which has an excellent 5 year warranty. The jack has a 3500 lb lift capacity and provides 22 inches of lift. I've linked to a product demonstration video for the # BD500187 jack I recommended.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Lippert Smart Jack Issue with Unwarranted Retracting and Extending There should be a serial number on the replacement jack. This is how it can be tracked that it has been replaced by the manufacturer. The new jacks are not having the same issue because the issue was water entering the unit causing a circuit issue and they have updated seals to keep the water out of the housing. I haven't heard of issues with the replacement jack if it has been replaced, I definitely recommend going back to the dealer because you are having the issue they were supposed...
view full answer... - Mounting Position Of Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer JackThe Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack, part # BD500187, you referenced can be installed facing any direction you find is easiest for you. I would note that you should install it in a position that would allow you to use the manual function if you should lose power. The mounting flange on the power jack does have a couple of hole mounting patterns that should give you the flexibility you are looking for. I have attached an installation video for this powered jack you can check out.
view full answer... - Do You Offer a Replacement Motor For Weize 3,500LB Power Tongue Jack? You are most likely going to have to replace your entire jack. In my experience the motor is typically one part when it goes on on a trailer tongue jack the manufacturer does not carry any replacements. I recommend replacing it with the Bulldog Powered Drive Trailer Jack # BD500187. The thing I like about this jack is it has a 5-year warranty, where most manufacturers only give a 1-year warranty. You can contact the manufacturer Weize directly to determine if they have a replacement motor...
view full answer... - Dimensions of Bulldog Powered A-Frame Jacks # BD500199 and # BD500187The top of the Bulldog Powered Jack part # BD500199 and # BD500187 from the mounting bracket measures 21-1/4 inches. The distance from the center of the jack tube to the front edge of the housing is 4 inches.

- Does Electric Jack Capacity Need to Cover Tongue Weight or Weight of the TrailerThe jack you choose should have a capacity greater than the tongue weight of the trailer. I'll typically recommend folks go overkill by choosing a jack with more capacity than they actually need, however. Choosing a jack with additional capacity means the jack won't need to work so hard, and will have a longer service life. Also, if you have a weight distribution hitch or might get one in the future, folks will also use the jack to lift the rear of the vehicle a few inches in order to remove...

This will bolt up to the standard mount on your a-frame using the hardware supplied with the jack. To make a solid ground connection at the round mounting flange you may want to sand off the paint from both the bottom of the jack plate and the mating surface on the trailer frame.

view full answer... - Replacement Electric Tongue Jack that Will Allow Full Opening of Tailgate on Tow VehicleI have a solution for you, but the Bulldog # BD500200 is only going to be about 2" shorter than you current jack, and I think we can do a little bit better than that to make sure that you get full use of the tailgate on your 2019 Chevy Suburban. When choosing a trailer jack, it will need to be able to lift the tongue weight of your trailer and not the entire weight of the trailer; your 7000-lbs trailer should be in the neighborhood of 1000-lbs tongue weight when the trailer is fully loaded...

- Using Bulldog Powered Trailer Jack for Farm ImplementThe Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack you referred to, part # BD500187 would be a good choice, assuming that the tongue weight on the piece of equipment doesn't exceed the 3500 lb weight capacity of the jack and assuming you can provide a 12-volt power source for the jack. For long life of the jack and easy operation, I always recommend going with a higher rated jack.
view full answer... - Powered Bulldog Jack/Motor Recommendation for a Farm ImplementIf you have a set of 12k capacity Bulldog landing gear on your farm implement you could use the # BD1824200100 as a motor if the jack is single speed, or part # BD1824180100 if the jack is 2 speed. This would be a solution if the implement has a gooseneck style of coupler. If you have an A-frame trailer you would need to upgrade the current jack to a part # BD500187. The motor of the # BD500161 is available separately, part # BD500359. However, this can't be modified to fit a non-powered jack.
view full answer... - Can Powered A-Frame Jack be Powered From Breakaway BatteryThe breakaway battery of a trailer wouldn't have enough amperage to power the jack up and down and also it would drain it to point it wouldn't work as a breakaway kit. So you could power the jack from the 12 volt power circuit of the trailer wiring which normally runs to the breakaway battery or you could install a separate battery that is rated higher and would last longer. The Bulldog powered a-frame jack part # BD500187 would be a really solid choice for a powered jack. It has more...

The outer diameter of the tube is 1-3/4 inches. It might be a good idea to check and make sure no other components are damaged on your jack. If you find other items are damaged the jack may need to be replaced. I have attached a link to a helpful article about trailer jacks you can check out.

My favorite Husky jack is the Husky Brute Electric Trailer Jack part # HT87247 and my favorite Bulldog jack is the Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack part # BD500187. The reason I like the Husky is because it has a built-in automatic stop that will prevent you from overextending the jack and damaging the internal components. The reason I like the Bulldog jack is because it has a five year warranty so if anything were...
view full answer... - Will Bulldog Powered Jack BD500187 Fit Tear Trailer on A-Frame TrailerAs long as you have an A-frame jack installed on your trailer currently the Bulldog Powered Jck part # BD500187 will easily fit and replace it. There isn't a wheel assembly for this or any of the other powered jacks because the wheels don't have very high capacities and it would greatly limit the capacity of the jack. The jack weighs 22 lbs and would be considered as tongue weight on your trailer.
view full answer... - Amperage Draw For Bulldog Powered Drive Trailer Jack Part # BD500187I spoke with my contact for Bulldog and he told me that the normal draw for the Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack, part # BD500187 is 15 amps, but can surge to 30 amps when under maximum stress.

All of the other specs are the same or within a fraction of an inch (the only one that is different is the retracted height which is 1/4 inch off between the two; still well within the margin of error). If you need a black finish to match the trailer or you just like it, go with # BD500187. If white is more appealing, go with # BD500188. Both jacks are highly rated by customers so...

- Recommended Electric Trailer Jack for Fleetwood Mallard CamperThe Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 14" Lift - 3,500 lbs - Black # BD500187 is a great option at a very good price point. The warranty does substantially beat the competitors and customers have been extremely happy. The Husky Brute HT87247 is no longer available. Due to the better warranty, customer happiness, and track record, I would recommend the Bulldog anyway. .
