Ratcheting jack lets you inch your trailer into tight spaces. Designed in Australia to stand up to the rigors of the Outback. Easily tracks through mud and gravel and offers great rust protection. 10" Screw travel and 8" drop leg.

Specs:
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.
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 wheel. 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 wheel, 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 wheel. This will prevent the wheel from turning and act as a brake to keep your trailer in place.
The large 10" steel wheel with rubber tire provides smooth, steady travel. The tire 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 this wheel also keeps it from stalling in sand or light mud.
A sealed bearing acts as a bushing to hold the wheel 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 wheel to wobble, lock up, and drag over time.
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 wheel in place. This locking feature keeps the wheel 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.
Obvious quality
Heavy duty and works for tall trailers. I have an over landing trailer that I need lifted on to a higher clearance vehicle. This is by far the easiest and best one for this scenario. Very easy to use.
I haven’t had to use it yet, it will be a life saver if I get on a road that is to narrow to turn around, you could un hook trailer then turn truck and trailer separately then hook together again. That is what I had in mind when I purchased it. Thanks
There is a learning curve associated with the jack. Once you figure it out the jack will perform well. To be able to fine adjust trailer during trailer hook up is nice.
If your trying to move a camper or trailer through tight RV gate this product makes it incredible easy with just one person. The ratchet makes moving your trailer up an incline worry free. The quality of the product is great, this is the most extreme tongue jack I have ever seen. Can’t say enough good things about it.
This jack is military tough. What a machine. Works well. Great features. While the other jacks appear flimsy and ready to snap, this one is tough.
Only issue is that the wheel trolly gizmo won't stay up when rolling trailer around in neutral key position. I can have a tendency of jamming into the ground and messing the gizmo up...hasn't happened yet, using small bungee.
Moving my 27 foot boat trailer had become nearly impossible. It is on grass and dirt squeezed between the house and a fence. The ratcheting trailer jack grips about 98% of the surfaces I have reducing my extreme efforts to almost nothing. Little effort is required to move the empty trailer but the lever only moves the trailer a few inches for each thrust. I'll take slow over pain anytime. My extreme struggles without the ratcheting jack were no faster anyway.
With the 4000 boat on the tandem trailer, the ratchet worked very well too. I was looking for something to act as a lever. This thing is perfect.
I admit this thing is overkill for my 16" enclosed trailer, but I am glad I bought it. It is stout and very well made. I moved to a mountainous area with lots of slopes and narrow roads. This allowed me do detach my trailer and move it to where I wanted it parked as I could not get the truck in there with the trailer attached. The jack moved the trailer when loaded almost as seamlessly as it did when it was unloaded. It is a good investment if you need to move a trailer into tight or specific spaces while unhitched.
Some issues with shipping but Quinn with etrailer made it right. I am a very satisfied customer. I have been a customer with etrailer for years and will continue to be. Great products, great price, and great service.
Shipping times were excellent. Box was almost destroyed but the unit is 10X heavier than I thought, so that is probably the culprit. Need sturdier boxes to ship items that heavy.
Installation instructions are weak. I took my old broken jack off and put this one in same spot, on port side of trailer. Turns out this thing has a F and R (which are backwards in my opinion, but that's immaterial) and it needs to go on right side to make that jack handle work. At least I think that's right. The instructions didn't say.
It is unbelievably sturdy. I wore myself out putting it on, but I tried the ratchet function a few inches and it seems to be what I need. Getting too old to pull/push this boat into the slot in garage. This should help a lot.
I do think it's a bit big for my boat. I am not sure I can get it down low enough. However, the nice part is that it has about 4-5 manual settings for up/down, so I think I can find the right spot.
I'll need to use it to hook up and unhook a few times to have a true feeling for it. But I think it's the answer.
I haul double trailers and thought this would help when hooking up the second one by myself when I was just a tiny bit off well... The handle attaches using a magnet if you forget it the magnet is not strong enough to prevent it from wiggling loose I do not actually know this but it sure looks like a problem. Because the handle is not attached to the crank, nothing prevents vibration from allowing the wheel to creep down and allow the wheel to hit the road and destroy the unit. This I do know for a fact happens so if you want a good handle because you lost yours You can have mine as it is the only part I have that still works as mine was destroyed in the above scenario. In addition you are supposed to be able to use the other handle to rotate and ratchet the wheel so you can then ratchet the wheels in the direction you desire, good idea but bad engineering. When you attempt to turn the wheels (change direction, not roll the wheel) the flimsy piece of metal used down very close by the wheel just bends like rubber because it is too thin for the job (see 3:26 in the second video for the flimsy part I am talking about). If this was attempted on anything except a paved or solid surface it would not rotate or move at all and you can see where in the second video it is a boat on a concrete floor and minimal movement displayed
I don't even have the trailer yet.
This saves my back, time and boat when i use it. works better than i could have ever imagined. My brother in-law bought one the same day he saw this one work and loves it.
Great communication. arrived when promised. Can't wait to use it this next season. thanks again.
Bit of a learning curve but it does what it’s supposed to. If the ground is level it is way smoother if the stopping safety gear is in neutral.
WOW I’m sooooo impressed with this tongue jack, very solid!!! Beyond my expectations, great product!!!
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.

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.
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.
Fast easy shipping. Top quality product. Solid construction with easy installation.

Looks like a beast on there! Also... what kind of trailer is that?
