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!

Easy to install. I also replaced bolts with grade 8 bolts.
Ultra fab is a good product.
by: Russell05/29/2022
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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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.

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.

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!

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.

Very good, recently sold this trailer
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.

My husband is very happy with this electric lift. It certainly saves his shoulder!

Works like a charm.
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: Dick W07/25/2019
Installs easily, works great. Be careful to shut off the up/down switch as soon as the jack reaches the end of its travel, otherwise you will blow a fuse.

Wonderful. Easy for the grandson to blow the fuse, but that is why the fuse is there.
by: Lawrence03/30/2018
Received as stated, very easy hook up, works great, hope the longevity is as good, did not need the fuse connection as camper already has 30AMP FUSE.

Great, love not having to crank on a jack.
by: Wayne Bullock08/28/2017
Great jack - haven't hooked up the electronics, but it's been great. The little rubber cover over the manual jack nut drive cracked, but I assume that is because I keep using it repeatedly (more than it was designed for). I wish it had a zerk fitting or two on the jack tube, just to keep it from seizing up in the future.
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

- How to Grease the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944017Base on the installation instructions, to grease the jackscrew on the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack, # UF38-944017, extend the jack until the grease fitting is aligned with the hole in the outer tube. 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....
view full answer... - Electric Jack Recommendation For 30 ft 2013 Forest River TrailerThe Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack, part # UF38-944017 you referenced would certainly work for your trailer based on the tongue weight you furnished. This jack does have a weight capacity of 3500 lbs, and has an 18 inch lift. it can be bolted on or welded to the trailer, and hardware is not included. Another option I recommend is the Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack, part # JET-2500. It has a weight capacity of 2500 lbs, which is still well within the range you need for...
view full answer... - Can a Caster Wheel be Used on Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Trailer JackWhile you could put a wheel on an electric jack such as # UF38-944017 the problem is that the wheels are rated much lower than the jacks so the jack would be limited to the capacity of the wheel. What I recommend is to use a trailer dolly such as # RA20. We use these around here sometimes to move trailers around. The 1-7/8 inch ball ensures that any coupler size will fit (doesn't have to be exact because the trailer isn't being towed). Another option is a jack and trailer mover in one....

- 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...
view full answer... - Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack Wont Extend But RetractsIt sounds like the issue is in the switch or the wiring of your Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack - 18" Lift - 3,500 lbs # UF38-944017. Since it retracts, we know the motor is working in one direction. These motors have a polarity so power on one wire runs the motor in one direction and power in on the other wire runs the motor in the other direction. I suggest removing the switch and connecting the wires manually to power individually. It it extends, the switch is bad. If not, the wiring...

The # UF38-944037 has a 7-way plug to power the unit so no other power is needed if you prefer.
view full answer... - Retracted Height of Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame Trailer Jack JET-3555Based on a review of our manufacturer specs the shortest retracted length among the electric a-frame jacks we offer comes from the 3500-lb-rated Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-3555. Since it can happen that a manufacturer may alter product dimensions slightly between production runs, I went to our warehouse and measured one of these jacks myself so that I could be absolutely certain of the retracted length dimension of the # JET-3555. When the inner tube is fully retracted...

- Recommended Heavier Duty Upgrade For FIC 3500 Electric A-Frame Trailer JackElectric A-frame trailer jacks often have the same bolt pattern, yes. Just keep in mind that a higher-capacity jack doesn't necessarily mean more speed, it's all about the jack itself. For example, the 3,500 lb Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944017 extends 6" in 25.3 seconds (with 1,000 lbs of tongue weight), while the 4,000 lb Bulldog Trailer Jack # BD500200 extends 6" in 28.5 seconds (with 1,000 lbs of tongue weight). That said, since you mentioned wanting a heavier-duty jack,...
view full answer... - Trailer Jack Recommendation that Doesnt Break When Over Retracted or ExtendedThe circuit breaker of the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944017 is designed to prevent the motor from drawing too much amperage and damaging itself. If you were to lower the jack all the way and then keep holding the button you eventually would trip the breaker, but more importantly you would potentially damage the threads of the internal screw of the jack which would permanently break it. I would not advise you rely on the breaker to or the threads bottoming out to let you know...
view full answer... - Where is Fuse for Ultra-Fab UF38-944017 3500 lb A-Frame Trailer Jack LocatedThe 30 amp fuse is installed in a black cylinder shaped fuse holder that should be installed inline on the red wire that attaches the Ultra-Fab # UF38-944017 3500 lb powered A-Frame jack to a 12V power source. Simply unscrew the fuse holder, remove the blown fuse and install the # UF38-751034 replacement. The holder could be installed anywhere along the line between the jack and the battery, usually right at the battery. In case you no longer have them, I've linked you to a .pdf copy of...

- Recommendation for Tongue Jack on Travel Trailer with 780 LB Tongue WeightI recommend going with the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack, # UF38-944017.

By using a jack with a much higher lifting capacity than the tongue weight of your trailer, there is less wear and tear put on the jack's motor.

This jack is rated for up to 3,500lbs and comes with a 5-year warranty. To install you will simply bolt this jack in place of your old jack and connect the 2 power wires to your current wiring. I recommend using Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05745-5 to reduce the risk of water damaging the wiring connection.
