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.

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: 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

- Small Powered Trailer Jack Recommendation for Tailgate ClearanceI have a few different options for you and it all depends on what you're wanting out of a trailer jack for your 2017 Forest River Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 2703WS. The absolute best clearance you'll get is with the Trailer Valet JXC Trailer Jack w/ Footplate # TV94FR because it uses a hand crank, but then you can use your drill then you want it to operate faster. Using this means you don't have to make connections to your trailer battery plus you won't have the trailer jack motor...
view full answer... - Can an Ultra-Fab Electric Trailer Jack that has Been Over Extended be RepairedThe way that the electric trailer jack # UF38-944017 works is using an ACME screw and a nut. The nut is fixed and the screw goes up and down in the nut. At the end of the screw the metal is twisted, smashed, or otherwise purposely cross threaded to prevent the screw from just coming out and the load dropping. If you try to raise a jack with this type of design too far it damages that nut and the screw. Those parts cannot be replaced. You will need to replace the whole jack. This is not...
view full answer... - 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... - Troubleshooting LED Light On Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack UF38-944017 Not Turning OffThe LED Lights on your Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944017 are controlled via a switch on the back of the head which you can see at the 1:40 minute mark of the included video, and will stay on as long as that switch as on. 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. I included a video of the # UF38-944017 for...

- Recommended A-Frame Power Jack for a Wells Cargo Enclosed TrailerI really like the Trailer Valet JXC Trailer Jack rated for 5,000 lbs # TV94FR. This is a newer type of jack that is actually operated by a power drill and I've seen it in action and it moves a lot faster than pretty much any other jack on the market, plus it comes in at a fraction of the cost. The power drill isn't included but since Wells Cargo trailers are typically used for job sites I would imagine you're already carrying one anyways. When you don't have access to the drill or perhaps...
view full answer... - No Power to Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack Part # UF38-944017In regards to the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack part # UF38-944017, the first thing you are going to want to do is check the 30 amp slow blow fuse in the fuse holder, if applicable. If this fuse is blown then you will need to use the Replacement 30 Amp Delayed Blow Fuse for Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack part # UF38-751034. If the fuse is good then take a circuit tester and check for power before and after the fuse holder. If you have power before but not after then you will need to...

- Recommended Power A-Frame Jack For Travel Trailer With 770lb Tongue Weight RatingFor your travel trailer with 770lbs tongue weight and a weight distribution hitch being towed by your 2007 Dodge Ram I recommend the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 24" Lift - 3,500 lbs - White Item # JET-3555. This jack fits the industry standard A-Frame jack mounting point and its 3500lb capacity will be plenty for the tongue weight of your trailer, and will be able to jack up the trailer once connected to the weight distribution shank of your system 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... - Manual Crank Operation for Ultra Fab Powered A-Frame JackBased on the picture you submitted you have an Ultra Fab jack like part # UF38-944017. Which takes a 9/16 deep well socket for a manual override. You would just need that socket and a ratchet and you would have everything you would need to manually crank your jack. There isn't a crank like the part you referenced available.

- Power Wire Gauge on Ultra Fab Powered Trailer Tongue Jack # UF38-944037 and # UF38-944017I checked with my Ultra-Fab representative, and found that the power wire on the # UF38-944037 is the same as that of the # UF38-944017. Both are 10 gauge. Powering a jack off of a trailer mounted battery will work better than using the accessory circuit off the 7-way. The closer a powered accessory (like a tongue jack) is to it's power source, the better it'll operate, due to the fact that the longer the wire run is, the more power you'll lose along the way.
view full answer... - Economically Priced Powered A-Frame Jack that Wires Directly to Trailer BatteryIn your price range the best option is the Ultra Fab powered A-frame jack part # UF38-944017. This jack can be wired directly to your trailer battery for operation and will work well. It has a 3,500 lb lifting capacity. I attached a review video for this jack for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Cant Crank Trailer Jack Handle with Bikes Loaded Between 2005 Ford F-150 and TrailerI have some possible solutions for you. First, one option is the Bike Bunk, # CC-275. It mounts to the front of the trailer A-Frame up over the propane tank. The only catch is that it is rated for 100 pounds and the bike rack used has to be rated for use on a trailer. The combined weight of the bike rack and bikes will likely exceed the 100 pound capacity so you would have to put 1 or 2 bikes somewhere else. Another option is to use a tailgate pad such as # S64760 to hold the bikes in...

- we Can I Fix my Electric Trailer Jack if the Inner Tube just Spins when I Operate it.Use a wrench to hold the base of the jack and it will extend once it has extended a little bit you will see a groove on the inner tube of the jack. You want to line that groove up with the indention on the front of the outer tube. Once aligned you have to drive the indention back in to engage the groove this is most easily done with a flat chisel type punch. This indention and groove is what prevents the tube from spinning. Somehow the base of the jack got deformed enough that the two are...
view full answer... - Ultra Fab Powered A-Frame Jack Recommendation that Gets Powered by Trailer BatteryThe Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF38-944037 is set up to be plugged into a vehicle 7-way whenever it is needed to power the jack. For basically the same jack that would be set up for wiring to a trailer battery you would want the part # UF38-944017 instead. This jack grounds through the mounting hardware and gets powered by the one black wire of the jack that would get run to your battery. Check out the install video I attached for more info.
view full answer... - Replacement Motor for Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack 38-751040I spoke with Ultra-Fab and they said if the jack was made before 2015 then there are no replacement motors available. The serial number on your jack starts with 12 which means it was made in 2012 therefore, your only option is to replace the entire jack. The upgraded model is the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack part # UF38-944017 which has brighter LED lights, an external ground wire for more dependability, and a more secure cover for better protection from the elements.

- Distance from Jack Tube to Outside of Jack Motor on the Ultra Fab Jack UF38-944017From the outside of the jack tube of the # UF38-944017 to the furthest point out on the jack motor housing it measures 3-7/8 inches.

- Maximum Distance of Mounting Holes on Ultra-Fab Electric Trailer JackThe maximum distance of the 6 slotted mounting holes on the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Trailer Jack # UF38-944017 is approximately 3-1/2 inches. So your 3 inch centers aren't going to be an issue.
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.
view full answer... - Recommended Electric Trailer Tongue Jack for 2014 Winnebago Minnie 1801FBFor your 2014 Winnebago Minnie 1801FB, I recommend the Electric Jack w/ Footplate - A-Frame - 25-1/8" Lift - 3.5K - Black # EJ-3520-BBX. This jack is a great option for your trailer and will not only give you the electric motor so you won't need to crank, but also will give you a drop leg for even faster function. I've attached a couple videos to further assist. If you like the look of the Ultra-Fab # UF38-944017 you asked this question from, that is also a really nice option. That...

However, the replacement Toggle ON/OFF Motor Switch, part # UF38-75-1037 is designed for Ultra-Fab # UF38-944014, # UF38-944016, and # UF38-944017 jacks.

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. In some cases the jack may not be repairable, depending on the exact damage to it. You can inspect the gearing components in your...

- Hole Spacing On Mounting Plate For Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack You are correct. The 3 inches you measure is the standard hole spacing for A-frame mounted jacks. The description is describing the outer tube diameter and is not describing the slotted holes on the mounting plate. The 3 inches you have for hole spacing would work well with this jack.
