Getting a trailer into a narrow garage or campsite doesn’t have to be a wrestling match. The Ark Xtreme Off-Road Ratcheting Jack uses a push-pull ratcheting handle and dual gear knobs that switch between forward, reverse, or neutral. That means you can inch your trailer exactly where you want it without over-cranking or losing control. Lock one knob forward and one in reverse to act as a brake and keep it firmly in place once parked. With a total adjustment of 17-11/16" and a lift capacity of 770 lbs, it’s built for precise, confident positioning on almost any surface.
Soft ground, gravel, and mud are no match for the 10" diameter x 2-3/4" wide steel wheel. The treaded, flat-free rubber tire keeps traction when plastic caster wheels would just spin. A sealed bearing holds the wheel straight on the cross shaft, so it doesn’t wobble or drag with weight on it. Whether maneuvering over sand or rough terrain, the wheel stays smooth and stable for steady travel.
Long days outside and salty air won’t wear this jack down. Precision-machined steel tubing resists play and chatter, and the zinc finish is tested to 600 hours of salt spray for corrosion protection. The sturdy square body adds strength under side load, and the built-in grease zerk lets you keep the internal screw lubricated for consistent, smooth operation. This jack is designed to last through years of weather and use.
When you’re ready to move, the magnetic hand crank attaches securely and removes easily for storage. The side-mounted swivel design lets you swing the jack up parallel to the tongue with a simple handle pull, locking the wheel so it won’t rattle or spin while traveling. With bracket heights from 14" retracted to 31-11/16" extended and 4 quick-set drop-leg positions, it sets up fast with minimal cranking. Bolts right on to 2"–6" frames with the included mounting hardware.
Developed to handle rough ground and changing conditions, the Ark Xtreme Off-Road Ratcheting Jack combines smooth operation with serious stability. With a 4,400-lb dynamic load capacity, a rust-resistant finish, and a durable steel body, it’s ready for jobsites, campsites, and everything in between. This is the jack that makes moving and positioning your trailer by hand simple, secure, and built to last.

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.
It was the best thing I did in getting this jack
This jack is STRONG! I like how you can stow it away in a position where the lowest part is the free spinning wheel. I regularly take my trailer off-road and thoroughly destroyed the jack that came with the trailer after hitting it a few times. This one takes the beatings and keeps on rolling.
I installed this product but I haven’t had a chance to actually try it out. I don’t want to give this a poor review, but there were three issues so far. First the mounting screws were too short for my trailer tongue. My trailer tongue is 3” wide and 4” tall. The screws were just a little longer than 3”. I had to buy 4" screws. Second, the instructions were very confusing as to how to orient the mounting plate on the trailer tongue. The video on your website shows one orientation, and the written instructions included with the product shows another. I followed the printed one. This worked fine. And lastly, I noticed that if the jack is in its lowest position, the wheel cannot swivel without hitting the blue knob on the upper ratchet control. I did not force it and nothing bad happened, but it would break this knob off if I tried to swivel the wheel with the jack in its lowest position while moving my boat.
I just installed the trailer jack with wheel- very well made/ heavy duty. the bracket did not fit easily on my Aluma trailer- i needed to drill some holes to make it work- the directions are pretty basic- so I needed to do some 'messing' around to make it work- but it is now installed and I LOVE IT- I think it will work out great.
Seems like a good product but the bolts that come with it are too short to bolt to a 3”x3” tube frame. I messaged etrailer and they said “You would need to source longer bolts locally”. Description does not indicate it would work on a stand PWC trailer.
Also you need to think about which way you want to move the trailer. Straight forward and back is fine but if you want to turn the wheel one way the lever arm hits the tongue so you can jack at that angle.
It works great. The bolts are too short,had to get 4 inch.
Installed this on our Happier Camper Traveler (~2000lbs dry weight, 220-250 lb tongue weight) to help maneuver into our tight camper parking area next to our home. Really well designed and high-quality build. Fits perfectly on the a frame. The ratcheting wheel offers a lot of leverage to move the camper around. The swinging mechanism is solidly built, inspires confidence (that it won't move around) when in the tucked away position for traveling and makes it even quicker than a standard trailer jack to hitch/unhitch to our tow vehicle. I do wish the tires had a bit more grip, but admittedly I use this in a non-recommended (by manufacturer) application, usually on crushed gravel rather than a firm surface. Still, the tire has much more grip/tread than a typical trailer jack wheel/caster that you'd add to an existing trailer jack.
I have a fifth wheel that also pulls the boat. This ratcheting Jack allows me to get the boat right up to the fifth wheel hitch with little effort. This jack has good traction on pavement but struggles a bit in grass. Still so worth it!
This product works great for getting our trailer backed into a tight spot off the alley. I can only get it so close with my truck. This gets it the rest of the way. Very high quality unit! The ratcheting handle keeps it from rolling the wrong direction with a slight slope.

We still love the product, works great. The only thing I would offer for improvement is the quality of the rubber on the wheel. It seems to be disintegrating. Its a bit to soft.
Received and was easy to put in the trailer. Very sturdy and it was easy to move the trailer around!
I just received the Extreme Off-Road Ratcheting Trailer Jack w/ Wheel - Sidewind - 10" Lift yesterday. (May 16th, 2020). I installed the trailer jack yesterday. Installation was very straight forward. The frame rail of the my car trailer is 4 inches wide at the point where I installed the jack. The recess in the jack mounting bracket for the frame rail was designed for something less than than a 4 inch frame rail. After looking at this recess in the jack bracket and seeing the 4 bolt heads that that protrude into the recessed area of the jack bracket area I do not know why the engineer bothered to make this recess because the 4 bolt heads are what make contact to the trailer frame rail not the surface of the recessed jack bracket. To secure this trailer jack to the frame rail properly IT MUST BE WELDED ON. THIS BOLT ON JACK BRACKET IS A JOKE! I plan on keeping and using this jack because of all the other great attributes and quality of construction this jack has. After I am convinced that this trailer jack will work properly in this location I will weld the bracket to the frame.

The recess in the back of the jack is designed to accommodate the bolt heads while the mount is what contacts the trailer frame. This jack is designed to bolt to trailer tongues ranging from 2 inches - 6 inches, so it is designed to fit your 4 inch trailer tongue. If the bolts, not the mount, make contact with the mounting bracket in one orientation, do the bolts still make contact if the mounting bracket is rotated 90 degrees? The jack can be installed with the mount in either the horizontal or vertical direction.
I have had the Ark Extreme Off-Road Ratcheting Trailer Jack for 2 years and love it! It stows just like a normal trailer jack, but the ratcheting allows me to move it inside my garage, both for tighter storage and to align it to my truck for trailering out of the garage. I'm 79 years old and have no trouble moving a 4,000+ boat and trailer. I fish with a bass club, so it gets lots of use, so I can say it is both easy to use and built to last. One of my best purchases! I highly recommend it.

I still love this Trailer Jack! It is built to last, and last it has! Great Quality and Dependability. At my age, I could not be moving my trailer around without it. So, do I recommend it ... YES I DO!
Allows me to maneuver my travel trailer in the field, driveway and garage.
Fast easy shipping. Top quality product. Solid construction with easy installation.
This is a game changer. What I couldn't do before I can now do with ease. My Lund Impact is heavy and the jack that came on it, well, I could barely get it moved into position in the garage. Now it is so easy. Highly recommend this product. Heavy duty, well designed.
Just put this wheel jack on. Seems like it will be amazing to use. The wheel is about twice the diameter of my old cheap one. Quality product.
Very useful, although it little to heavy for my trailer.

As previously stated a little heavy. The markings on the knobs could be better.
This thing is sturdy and would almost certainly solve my issue of getting my trailer into a tight spot and slight incline without a second set of hands, if only it was not so large. my trailer has a standard height of 16 inches from the bottom of the tongue, however this is about the absolute minimum height the ARK ratcheting jack is capable of. This results in no possibility to lower the tongue if needed for leveling. Because of the larger length, I cannot mount it without going out to the coupler or hitting box on my tongue.
If there were a version which had similar dimensions to a typical jack it would be perfect, but sadly I will need to keep searching for a solution. If you can fit this jack on your trailer and have the height, I would have full confidence in this jack. I am very impressed with the build quality.
I love this thing! Very easy to install and it makes putting my boat back in the garage soo easy. So much easier than pushing the boat. I should have bought it years ago. Was a little hesitant due to the price, but well worth it for sure!!

Still working like a champ. Love it, so easy to get my boat into my small garage. Rolls smoothly, easy to steer and nice to be able to use the lever to get it up the slight driveway angle.

Looks like a beast on there! Also... what kind of trailer is that?
I'm using it to move my Casita and it's working well on an asphalt driveway. It allows me to utilize space I couldn't otherwise get the trailer into, saving me from parking it on the street or at a storage lot. Definitely recommend having the battery connected and being ready to pull the emergency brake switch if it starts rolling away on you. Then chock and reset the brake switch, you don't want to leave it on long term. I wouldn't rely on this to move a trailer downhill.
Excellent concept with some quirks:
1) you must remove magnetic crank handle because it will fall off if you drive with it in place; Id prefer a permanently installed handle
2) when changing directions the selectors will sometimes jam so you have to rock it to & fro to get it to change directions
3) when using the large handle to move the trailer the jack is supposed to be in its lowest position; this should be clearly marked on the jack itself
4) the jack can go down low enough to hit the plastic knobs that change direction and damage them, this is an oversight I think & for the price they should be metal!
I like it but there’s a few things that could be done better. Very nice to have and it’s great for moving the trailer even with a fairly heavy boat (mine has 420 lbs of tongue weight and the whole rig weighs 5050 lbs).
