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.

I was extremely impressed with the recent technical and customer support from etrailer. Over the weekend, they answered my questions to select the appropriate replacement electric jack for my Airstream. Also, when there was a shipping delay (not etrailer’s fault), Rose provided prompt responses and professional support. I will continue to use etrailer for my RV needs.
by: Kyle 10/22/2022
Works flawlessly. Maybe the only thing I could complain about is it is slower than I think it could be. Along with the side lights could always be brighter. Works great, install kit is awesome, and it works without a stutter.

@Jerry We're glad to hear you're happy with your trailer jack!
by: Havasulew10/24/2022
Had been contemplating this purchase/install for a couple of years. Finally bit the bullet. Purchase was simple. Shipping was a day late in arriving, not a real issue, because I live in a rural area. Shipping delays are expected.
Installation was very straight forward, remove three bolts, replace three bolts. That was all there was as far as the mechanical installation. For the electrical portion I elected to splice into the battery power wire that is part of the 7-wire electric cable on the trailer, in lieu of running a dedicated #10 wire direct from the trailer battery.
The jack seems to operate just fine, as anticipated. I have run the jack a number of times over the last few days without issue.
Why not a 5 star review, just haven't owned it long enough nor operated the jack enough. Ask me in 5 years.
by: Ryan 12/05/2023
I own 10 trailers for business, I have used many electric tongue jacks. This one stands up to the abuse and time in the weather. Recommend this unit to anyone wanting a reliable electric tongue jack. It is not fast, but it is strong

Works well, dependable.
by: Jerry09/06/2023
Trailer jack was defective. etrailer.com passed the buck to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was not very receptive and expected me to repair the jack. I purchased a new one and shouldn't have to try to figure out why it wasn't working. I want a new one and should get it from etrailer since I purchased it from them.
by: Marilyn12/29/2022
This was a complete gamechanger for us. We formerly had a power jack rated for 2500 lbs. Every time I had to raise it, the whole trailer swayed. It also didn't have the adjustable base, so the height was restricted. Moving up to this jack means no more sway and the option for an additional 5 inches of height. Installation was super simple, as well. Thank you, etrailer, for making it so I no longer live in terror of raising my jack.
by: Ron12/08/2022
It was easy to install and has power to spare. I installed it on a 6000 lb travel trailer that requires the truck to be lifted to easily remove the weight distribution bars. My old jack struggled with the weight. Not this one. Lots of power. It's a simple jack. No memory functions, no auto retract feature. Just two buttons. One to raise and lower the front of the trailer, and one for the lights. My issues are that the lights are essentially worthless. They don't produce much light and being on the side of the unit, they aren't aimed where you need them to be. Also, you have to buy their kit to have a place to hang the chains and the cord or, buy a cover that allows you to do the same. I recommend you buy the cover by the way. Solid buy recommendation

It is getting slower and slower to lift the trailer. Is there anything that needs lubricants?
Mike L.
11/15/2023
@Grant The only lubrication needed is the inner jack tube. Stromberg Carlson recommends fully extending the jack which fully exposes the inner tube. Thoroughly clean the tube then lubricate it with a thin coat of grease or a silicone spray lubricant. As far as the jack operating slowly, be sure the battery is fully charged and full power is reaching the jack. Also, the jack picks up its ground connection via its attachment to the trailer tongue. Make sure this connection is secure and not corroded. Hope that helps!

Getting slower in lifting the trailer
Mike L.
11/18/2023
@Grant Make sure the battery is fully charged and the jack is getting a full 12-volts. The jack gets its ground connection via its connection to the trailer tongue, so make sure the connection point between the jack and trailer tongue isn't corroded.
by: Bryan K.08/02/2018
Extremely sturdy, built well and a breeze to install. Amazingly quiet! Lifts the front of my 32' toy hauler effortlessly, very pleased with this jack and I am most definitely going to recommend this to my parents and friends. Oh, and quick shipping, received the jack in three days!
by: Douglas 06/30/2023
1 year later still no issues it fit perfect on my trailer and still works perfect
by: Glen02/19/2023
The jack has performed great over the past year. The only minor comment would be that the integrated light hasn't been bright enough to use for other tasks other than seeing the switches. As that is as designed feature, it's only a minor inconvenience if you want more light at the trailer hitch.

Easy search for the product, arrived promptly. Easy install, awesome upgrade. Good to go for years to come!!

See what our Experts say about this Stromberg Carlson Camper Jacks
- Acceptable Methods of Providing Power to Trailer Jack Mounted on Horse TrailerYou can either power the jack through the accessory circuit on the 7-way or via an auxiliary battery installed on the trailer. If you decide to power the jack through the accessory circuit, it is advisable to use a jack whose capacity exceeds the tongue weight of your fully loaded horse trailer. If the jack is working very hard to lift the trailer, the wire that carries the accessory circuit can overheat. To provide plenty of wiggle room, I would say that if the capacity of the jack exceeds...

Since you have a lighter trailer this overbuilt jack will crank faster and last longer than a 2,000 pound or 2,000 pound model. The jack has a bolt-on bracket that will mount to any standard A-frame coupler. Using this jack will also give you a longer warranty protection then your standard 1-year warranty jacks.

- Powered A-Frame Jack Recommendation for a 2011 Keystone Passport 290We do carry powered A-frame jacks that would work well on your 2011 Keystone Passport trailer model 290 BH. I really like the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000. This jack has a lifting capacity of 5,000 lbs which would be more than adequate for a 5,600 lb trailer that would have a tongue weight of around 500-700 lbs most likely. The extra capacity is great because it allows the jack to work without strain. It works quicker and last longer this way.
view full answer... - Can 12 Volt Power Circuit of 7-Way on Truck Power A-Frame JackNormally the 12 volt power circuit of a tow vehicle is rated for 40 amps so the answer to your question should be yes, but you would need to check the fuse of the 12 volt accessory circuit on your vehicle to verify if you have the amperage needed for your jack. It is very common that powered A-frame jacks are powered by the 12 volt power circuit of a vehicle.
view full answer... - Can Stromberg Carlson Trailer Jack JET-5000 be Used on 4,000 lb TrailerThe Stromberg Carlson trailer jack part # JET-5000 would have more than enough capacity to work well on your cargo trailer that would weigh about 4,000 lbs. It has a lifting capacity of 5,000 lbs which is relative to the tongue weight of the trailer and not the total weight. So on your trailer it would only lift around 400 lbs.

This would be a great choice for you. I attached a video for you. Typically this jack gets powered from a battery installed on the trailer, but it can also power from a 12 volt power circuit on the trailer wiring. You'd need to have a 7-way...
view full answer... - Does the Stromberg Carlson #JET-5000 Trailer Jack Come With Everything Needed for InstallYes, the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000 comes with everything needed to install on a trailer except for install bolts and nuts to attach the jack to the trailer. You will need to reuse the hardware that your old jack used. Otherwise you will need to supply 3 nuts and bolts from a hardware store. Check out the install video I attached as well.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Stromberg Carlson Electric Jack # JET-5000 That Has Power But Doesnt FunctionSounds like your Stromberg Carlson Electric Jack # JET-5000 has power, but does it have a ground to complete the circuit? This jack grounds through the mounting hardware so it would need to be mounted to a trailer that has a solid ground through the frame. The trailer wiring harness of the trailer should have a wire that runs to the trailers frame. This is the ground circuit and it will need to be active for the jack to operate. Check out the install video I attached for more info as well.
view full answer... - Jack Recommendation for Whitewater RetroI recommend the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 23" Lift - 5,000 lbs - Black, Item # JET-5000. The 5000 capacity will allow the jack to operate quicker and smoother. It will also allow it to last longer. This jack has more than needed capacity but would be just fine in that regard. It has the lifting strength of 5,000 lbs which would make easy work of the 350 lbs of tongue weight your trailer would have.
view full answer... - Dimensions of Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack JET-5000I've got great news for you, the mounting holes on the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000 are 3 inches apart. A-frame jacks have an industry standard dimension because of the style of coupler used on A-frame trailers. The measurement you will want to make sure fits is the outer tubing diameter of the jack's leg. For the Brute, that tubing diameter is 2-3/16 inches. I linked a Help article on jacks for your convenience.
view full answer... - Bulldog Powered A-Frame Trailer Jack has Been Over RetractedIf the Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack # BD500161 has been over retracted then that means there could be internal damage and you would not be able to easily fix it. One possible issue is that at the end of the screw inside the jack which has threads that are smashed and deformed on purpose to prevent it from coming all the way out, could have damaged the nut threads. This would make it broken beyond repair. In this case you would have to replace the jack. Another possible issue is that...

This is one of our most highly-rated A-frame jacks because of its power and ease of use. This jack is rated for 5,000 lbs so it won't work quite as hard as your 4,500 lb jack, has a bubble level on top which is nice so you can tell if your trailer is level, and has simple on/off and up/down switches which makes it very simple to use. I have added...
view full answer... - Is 1,500 lb Trailer Jack Enough for 21 ft Boat TrailerTrailer jacks are rated for the amount of tongue weight that the trailer has. Typically trailer tongue weight is around 10 percent of total trailer weight. So for a 1,500 lb jack to be at capacity the trailer would most likely weigh near 15,000 lbs. So a 21 ft boat trailer would have no problem with a 1,500 lb jack capacity. Our most popular swivel jack for a boat trailer is the part # MJ-1200B which has a 1,200 lb capacity and would work well.

The 12 volt circuit would just have to be rated high enough for the power draw of the electric jack. And you will probably want to have the vehicle running so the alternator can help with the power demands. This jack draws 30 amps when under load. Most tow packages will have the 12...

Amazing! I would have replaced mine sooner with this and I known. It’s not faster but way more confident, quiet, and has a larger extension without taking up much more space.
