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.

Easy installation, reasonable price, works great! Much to my surprise, our trailer had a 2.25" top hole and a 2" bottom hole. This jack fit fine. The lights are helpful.
by: Steve08/27/2023
I recieved the jack in a timely fashion and the box was destroyed (packing wasn't good) and was a bit worried but it didn't have a scratch on it and was very easy to install. Bolted right up!I really am happy with it and I would recommend it and etrailer!!
by: John W09/15/2016
The three items we ordered arrived on time. The electric jack was easy to install, 3 bolts and 1 wire. Took less then an hour. It makes hitching and unhitching our Keystone Hideout much easier.
Customer service was very helpful when we called to add a third item to our order.
No Hassle!

Nice jack . Fit up on travel trailer was good did have to take 3/16 off the back of round mounting plate so it would not hit the battery box I did check with Ultra-fab and they got back to me the same day ,wanted to make sure this would not effect warranty . well built and quality was very good . So much better then my old jack .
by: Biscuit Sims05/10/2021
Easy to install. I also replaced bolts with grade 8 bolts.
Ultra fab is a good product.
by: Chris 06/20/2023
Lift came super quick from etrailer. Very easy to install since replacing older model of the same lift. Ultra-Fab should include wire and fuse needed for the positive wire -had to reuse old fuse!
by: Doug W08/03/2017
Easy install in 5 minutes, works great, excellent customer service, fast service and shipping. No more hand cranking for me.

Working very good. Have only used it about 6 times so far. Great product.
by: Kevin09/03/2018
Well I guess its been a year since purchasing the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack as per the email I received from etrailer. I have been very happy with the purchase, this is so much better than cranking a handle!! Installation was very easy too. I liked this one since it has a zerk fitting for lubing the jack where others didn't seem to have that. All in all, I would purchase this jack again and through etrailer.com too.
by: Jimmy G.07/07/2016
The fit was flawless and it handles my Flagstaff Mac with ease. It is a pop-up and not a huge load, but it saves a 70 yr. old a lot of cranking. Install was a breeze. Love it when items are as described. 6 day delivery over a holiday long week-end. Thanks for the great service.
by: David02/18/2019
etrailer had the best price. Shipped to me in a few days. Took about 1 hour to convert from the 4th bad liepert smart jack. Works fast and easy. As I read on other reviews it is "wobbly" side to side compared to the old jack but rating are equal.
Put on my enclosed ATC car trailer. Have not yet loaded the car - I think that should only be done when "hooked up". Check with me in a few months after I have used it a bunch.

doing fine
by: Paul D.01/07/2014
The product was easy to install. I put the trailer on my truck hitch before I started. No need for impact tool to loosen the bolts on the manual jack. Your jack fit fine, even cleared the propane bottle cover, although I have to sqeeze a little to get to the light switch. My trailer is a 30' Keystone Hornet with slideout. Your jack sounded like it was working hard, but it kept raising. It's the 3500 lb model, and I didn't measure the tongue weight before I started. However, it was right at freezing outside, and my battery isn't new, but all went well. Plenty of travel, and I like the removeable foot. All in all, I'm a Happy Camper.

The Ultra-Fab power jack is great so far. This was a direct replacement for the stock original jack. Easy to install. This one has a fuse in-line as the original jack did not. I like that feature.

Bought this one year ago and it died already. It is not one that I would recommend. We had to hand crank on several occasions. We bought something different and threw this one away. As for Etrailer, great company.
by: Carl J. N.Y.06/22/2014
Unit was out of stock but I was willing to wait. Well it was delivered a lot sooner than I thought and was kept updated about delivery date.(no guessing). The jack installed easily and works as expected. I am very satisfied with the service and the product. Thank you etrailer!

Worked as advertised. Easy installatio n.
by: Mike L.12/21/2016
Great product, was easy to install and wire up. Very durable, grease tip location on the tube very convenient. Cons ( would like to see a foot extension for the tube and a more durable cover for the grease tip, other than that its a thumps up for this product.
by: chuck f.03/17/2016
Just what I expected from an Ultra-Fab product. I have bought this same jack for another application and was pleased with it and the same with this one.
This application I had to drill all the holes needed as the trailer did not have tongue jack. It was a simple drill with all the different hole combination on the jacks mounting pad. Works and looks great!!!

easy to install and one wire to connect. works great so far on my Pace American V-nose enclosed trailer with a couple snowmobiles on board

Very good, recently sold this trailer
by: JimM09/05/2018
Low price but high quality. Works faster than most Jack's out there. My only concern is the length of the shaft. I need to use a 6 inch block under it. Works great. I now have 2 of them. One on my enclosed cargo trailer and one on my 26 ft travel trailer. Highly recommend. It
by: Gary G.03/30/2015
I drove 150 miles to a rv dealer to buy a electric tonge jack that they wanted over $350 for and bought this one from e trailer for a lot less then $200 and this one is a 3500# and the one at the rv place was 3000#,and the same brand,this a great place to get all your trailer and towing needs,i check prices of a lot of different items and e trailer beat everyone for the things I was looking at,i will be ordering a lot more.thankyou.

This unit was purchased to replace an UltraFab that I bought in 2007; that would mean my first unit lasted over 12 years. The old unit was still running, but the motor had a couple of dead spots and I got tired of bumping it to get it moving. I consider anything electrical that sits outside for this long, and still technically works, pretty decent quality.
The new unit looks very similar to the old one, except the lights are now LED and there is a grease hole on the shaft. The addition of a grease point is great because my old unit could not be easily greased (thus, never was). This should extend the life of the new unit.
Installation was easy, except the unit would not power up reliably. The issue appears to be the fuse holder supplied with the kit. The fuse was too loose in the holder and the power connection was weak. To solve the problem (I hope) I took the fuse holder apart and stretched the internal spring. This seemed to fix the problem.
I hope this unit gives me the service my last one did. I bet it will.
by: kenny d05/25/2015
Jack installed easy and is great for my heavy toy hauler. The light will be great for unhooking at my favourite camping spot. The included fuse link was perfect for a safe install. I used a heat shrink butt connector and heat shrink tubing over a ring terminal for my connections.
by: Bill T.08/09/2015
$100.00 less than local C.W. wanted for same item.
10 minutes to install. Only needed $0.75 in line joint and spade to install.
Replaced Lippert jack that came on trailer.
More lifting power than factory jack.
Works great.

I recommend double checking that you have the switch on the off position, and if you do you will need to remove the toggle switch on the back to check for any loose wires or corrosion causing it to not turn off.

Unfortunately the gears are not available as replacement parts, so the most cost effective option would be to just keep placing your foot on the jack to lower it. The only other option would be replacing it with another # UF38-944017. I included a video of the # UF38-944017...

view full answer... - How to Determine Weight Capacity of Electric Trailer Tongue Jack for CamperYou'll need to chose a jack whose capacity is greater than the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of the camper. Going with a powered jack whose capacity is much greater than the tongue weight of the camper is recommended because the jack won't need to work so hard and will therefore last longer. Also, if you're using a weight distribution system on the camper, sometimes you'll want to use the trailer jack to also pick up the rear of the vehicle to put slack into the system so...

This jack features a 12V motor with a toggle switch as well as an integrated circuit breaker. The Ultra-Fab's mounting holes will fit 2 inch or 2-1/4 inch spacing and it even has dual side lights for nighttime use. I have included a link to a video review of this jack for you to...
view full answer... - Is 18 inches of Travel Adequate for an RV Travel Trailer A-Frame Jack18 inches of travel for a trailer jack is typically more than needed. You would want to measure from the mounting bracket on your trailer down to the ground to determine what you would need. The range of the # UF38-944017 is 9-1/4 inches retracted and 27-1/4 inches extended.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Trailer Battery for Powering Ultra-Fab Electric Tongue Jack UF38-944017To power an electric trailer jack (or a winch for that matter) generally the higher the amperage rating of the battery the better. Jacks, like winches, use more power to operate as the load increases. The Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944017 can be powered by any full-size 12V battery (but not a smaller one such as that on a lawn mower). My contact at Ultra-Fab recommended you ask for a Series 31 type battery at your local store. These are a hybrid type that are not rated in...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame JackThe Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944017 shouldn't blow a fuse from retracting too far. The fact that you can't use the manual crank to free up the jack shows that something internally has been damaged. This should fall under your warranty because this came with a 2 year manufacturer warranty that 6 time use should fall well within.

The tow vehicle 7-way's 12V feed is designed to provide a "trickle charge" to maintain a charged trailer battery while you're driving but not to charge a depleted battery or to operate a device like a powered tongue jack. That 12V feed is fine for operating trailer lights but not for a current-hungry motor....

The motor itself is probably okay. We do offer a range of repair/replacement parts for this jack. I have linked a diagram showing an exploded view along with a parts listing.

You can apply enough grease with two pumps from a standard grease gun. To grease the gears, you will need to first remove the fuse from the fuse holder. Next, remove the gear cover via 4 phillips screws to expose the gears. Then, grease the gears using chassis lube and reinstall the cover....

- Does the 20 Amp Circuit Breaker for Ultra-Fab Powered Trailer Jacks Reset ItselfOnce an overload condition has ceased then the circuit breaker should reset itself. It is mounted on the outside of jack # UF38-944017 but should not need any persuasion to reset. If the jack is not powering on it could be that an overload or short still exists or something else in the electrical system from the power source to the jack is not working properly. You will also need to check the in line fuse. If it is blown the jack will not operate. If all the wiring is done correctly and...

That is the correct wiring for the Ultra-Fab # UF38-944017 if you've got an on-board battery on your coach. If you've got no battery, you can wire this into a junction box by connecting the wire to the inline fuse and then connecting that to the 12v/auxiliary power post; you'll then want to make a connection to the frame of the trailer with the ground (black) wire for the best results.

view full answer... - Could Ultra Fab Jack part # UF38-944017 be Used on 3,600 lb TrailerWhen picking out a trailer jack the capacity the jack has is for the tongue weight of the trailer. So the Ultra Fab jack part # UF38-944017 that you referenced could lift a vertical weight of 3,500 lb which would be way more than you'd need for a 3,600 lb trailer that would have a tongue weight of around 360 lbs. Having more lifting capacity just means that the jack won't strain when operating.
view full answer... - Recommended Electric Trailer Jack for 20 Foot 5,000lb V-Nose TrailerEven though I can't tell you the weight limit on your current jack, for your combined total weight of your trailer's contents I recommend the 3,500lbs Ultra-Fab, part # UF38-944017. I have linked a video of the jack for your convenience.

The Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944017 uses the industry-standard mounting hole spacing found on A-frame trailers. The oval mounting holes simplify installation by providing a bit of wiggle room for the slight potential variances from trailer to trailer.

If you don't have 12 volts on the power wire then make sure the battery is fully charged and there are no breaks in the wire. The jack would still retract but...
