Note: Do not use this jack to move your trailer if it's extended past this "max moving height" line.
Designed in the Outback for all-terrain use, this rugged jack is equipped to handle just about anything, from moving your boat trailer to accompanying you on off-roading adventures. You'll appreciate the smooth operation and adjustability for everyday use just as much as you'll enjoy the special features designed for extreme use. From jobsites to campsites, the ratcheting Ark Xtreme trailer tongue jack will work for you.
Dual steel wheels with rubber tires provide increased surface area for smooth, steady travel. The rubber tires can cruise over rocks without breaking or getting flat spots, and the tread helps prevent sliding in wet conditions. The overall strength and durability of these wheels also keep them from stalling in sand or light mud.
Sealed bearings act as bushings to hold the wheels in line on the cross shaft. This is an improvement over traditional plastic jack wheels, which often have just a bolt going through them, providing very little stability and causing the wheels to wobble, lock up, and drag over time.
The ratcheting feature on this jack lets you move your trailer in small, precise increments, which is ideal when working in tight spaces like your garage. Two of the three knobs located at the base of the jack allow you to adjust the direction of the wheels. Pull each knob, one at a time, and turn it to the desired direction - forward or reverse - until both knobs are locked in the same position. The third knob holds the removable ratcheting handle in place. Once you've set the direction of the wheels, just push down and pull up on the handle in a repetitive motion to move the jack in the direction set.
With both gears in the neutral position you can move your trailer freely in any direction without using the ratcheting handle. To move your trailer forward, set both knobs to F and ratchet. To move in reverse, set both knobs to R and ratchet. You can also set one knob in the forward position and the other in reverse to lock the wheels. This will prevent the wheels from turning and act as a brake to keep your trailer in place.
The large 10" steel wheels with rubber tires provide smooth, steady travel. The tires can cruise over rocks without breaking or getting flat spots, and the tread helps prevent sliding in wet conditions. The overall size and durability of these wheels also keep them from stalling in sand or light mud.
The durable design of this jack lets you take your trailer off-road, over rough terrain, and through various climates. The sturdy steel, square body provides increased side-load capacity and superior strength, and limits play between the tubes. And the corrosion- and rust-resistant zinc finish offers a 600-hour salt spray rating to withstand wet or rainy conditions. The built-in grease zerk lets you lubricate the internal screw when necessary for continued smooth operation over time.
A sturdy magnet is built into the jack's easy-to-grip crank handle for secure attachment of the jack crank. The handle detaches easily to store away and prevent hang-ups while traveling, yet it's strong enough to stay put while you're cranking the jack up and down.
The removable handle might also deter would-be trailer thieves. After all, who wants to take a trailer if they can't get the jack to work?
The convenient, side-mounted swivel pin has an easy-to-grip handle, making it fast and simple to swing the jack down for use or up alongside your trailer tongue for travel.
The latch at the bottom of the jack holds the wheels in place. This locking feature keeps the wheels from swinging around while you drive, which will help to ensure that the bearing doesn't wear out prematurely.
Once you've arrived at your destination, setting up is a breeze thanks to the quick-release jack tube on the Ark Extreme jack. Just tug the spring-loaded handle to quickly drop the jack tube to your desired height. This handle allows you to set the jack in 1 of 4 positions. Once you have it as close to the ground as it will go, just rotate the crank handle on the front of the jack to fine-tune the height.
Having the ability to drop the jack tube in this manner means that you won't need a drop leg or space fillers like blocks or bricks. And far less cranking is needed to get the jack into position, which will you save you both time and effort.
When you're ready to pack up and hit the road again, hitch the trailer back up to your vehicle, retract the jack's inner tube using the crank, and reposition the jack back alongside your trailer tongue.
A trailer jack lifts your trailer high enough at the tongue to allow you to couple it with your vehicle. Usually, your tongue weight is about 10-15% of your gross trailer weight (GTW). For example, a 10,000-lb trailer has a tongue weight of 1,000 lbs to 1,500 lbs. To raise the tongue of a trailer this size, you'd need a jack that can handle a static load of no less than 1,500 lbs. And, yes, 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 capacity should operate more efficiently, allowing you to spend less time cranking and more time camping.
Received a broken and obviously used and returned product in a significantly damaged box. Unusable
Well constructed product, it should work for my application.
Exactly as advertised and as the video showed.
So far so good… able to move my 3000lbs boat on concrete for perfect placement in a tight parking spot.. I will update at the end of the boating season.
We have had several customers ask for this specific jack. It seems to be a winner among our customers! Also, e-trailer has always been great to order from. All around positive experience!
It’s exactly what I needed to maneuver my trailer signed handed with safety and ease. So glad I finally found it. Solid purchase I recommend these guys
Absolutely the best trailer jack in the market
Bracket was not as wide as my frame but seems to hold on ok. Can finally maneuver boat and trailer alone with minimal effort. Seems great but will no more with a few months use.
I love this jack. I move a 20ft dump trailer easily on gravel, and effortlessly around my concrete shop. What a great tool.
Great product for my needs . I just needed to move my boat & trailer up my driveway about 15 feet . Did not want to spend hundreds of dollars & worry about my drill bucking and possibly hurting my wrist with a motorized model.
off road product - i have a tough time rolling thru gravel - thought the tire would be more off road for campsites and gravel settings -its more for concrete -i guess i can try to change the wheel to be more as advertised
Love this jack wheel, it has came in handy many times turning our small travel trailer. The only down fall we had is the blue piece where the ratcheting handle inserts came off and we haven't been able to figure out how to fix it.
My boat is Heavy and was difficult to move in my garage, this jack cured all of my problems. I Love It, and I also like the fact that you can remove the jack handle easily so people can't jack it up and steal your trailer at the boat ramp. One of the best investments I have ever made.
