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.

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



by:

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.



by:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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.

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

Still working like a dream ! Very happy..



by:

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



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:

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!

Quality product fit my needs easy ordering decent shipping time

Still working as expected!



by:

Bull dog jacks are the best.



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.

Our Bulldog performs like it just came ouu u t of the box. The Full Monty!



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!

Roger M.

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.

Dave S.

Works great. No problems. Very nice jack.



by:

Shipping was fast and amazing as always. This jack bolted right on to my 2019 175LHS Hideout with the supplied hardware. Wired right up. I am excited about the drop leg. Will be nice to not have to run the jack all day. So far grat stuff. Would highly recommend.

Timothy G.

12/26/2021

Great!!



by:

Great jack. I quickly found out that this jack also blows fuses if retracted completely, which is apparently common. It is a little slower than the Super Jack it replaced, but I like the added features such as: multiple mounting holes for mounting in different positions, LED lights, the switch is labeled up and down (my old jack wasn't, so if you were near the top and hit the switch the wrong way, you were replacing 20A fuses), and the adjustable drop leg. I am not crazy about the gold/bronze drop leg, but nothing a can of paint cant fix.

I installed it in just a few minutes as it is simply three bolts and one electrical connection. I ordered the jack on Saturday and it was at my house on Tuesday with regular ground shipping. Further, I received constant email updates on where the shipping process was. Great service again from etrailer.

The blown fuses can happen when the motor is over-loaded either by over-extending or over-retracting the jacks. A helpful trick is to mark the leg at stop points with a paint pen or scratch tool. That way you know when the jack is all the way up or down and you do not go too far and blow the fuse.

  • Replacement Electric Jack for 2004 Keystone Montana 335RLBS Travel Trailer

  • What is the Lift for the Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack # BD500187
    The 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.

    Are 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.

  • Mounting Position Of Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack
    The 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.

  • Will Bulldog Powered Jack BD500187 Fit Tear Trailer on A-Frame Trailer
    As 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.

    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.

  • Does Bulldog Powered A-Frame Jack # BD500187 Have Inline Fuse
    If you wanted to add an inline fuse to the Bulldog Jack part # BD500187 you certainly could, but it does not come with one. It has an internal circuit breaker so you could use a fuse holder like part # FLX30357K that comes with a 40 amp fuse that you could use as way to prevent people from running the jack when it is unattended by you.

    The Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack # BD500187 has an outer tube diameter of 2-1/4 inches and an inner tube diameter of 2-1/16 inches. This jack should be able to work on your trailer but it really depends on the diameter of the hole in your coupler. If it is larger than 2-1/4 inches then the jack will install. If the hole is smaller than that you may have to enlarge the hole to install the # BD500187. Or, if you can get by with a lower capacity you could use a Stromberg Carlson Electric...

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.

    Yes, the replacement drop leg is part # BD500190, and is what you need for your Bulldog powered jack # BD500187. I called our representative a Bulldog to confirm as well. It will include the drop leg and pin. It's always a good idea to double-check if any of the other components are damaged, or attachment points show any signs of stress from the incident. If that's the case, the jack may need to be replaced. I included an installation video and information article for you too.

    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.

    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.

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...

  • Powered Bulldog Jack/Motor Recommendation for a Farm Implement
    If 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.

  • Using Bulldog Powered Trailer Jack for Farm Implement
    The 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.
