Video Transcript for Let’s Check Out the Pipe Mount Swivel Style Trailer Jack with Foot

What's going on everybody Adam here with etrailer today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Dutton Lainson trailer jack. So this one, it is gonna be a weld-on jack. So if you're just building a trailer from the get go, it does come with this inner too. So we just gonna have to weld that to our trailer frame and you do wanna make sure that the wider side is gonna go towards the trailer so we can get this thing on there. But you can also just be replacing the one that you have. So if you are doing that, just make sure that the outer diameter of the tube that's welded to your trailer is two inches.

This is a top line jack. What that means is the lever is on the top. So a lot of you guys are wondering how big this lever is. So from the farthest most point to the very very edge is about seven inches and it does have a molded little grip. So it's gonna pivot around that little thing there, and you have a little slot for all your fingers.

So it's a nice little grip and it isn't that difficult to completely wind it. So sometimes you want a top line, sometimes you don't. One instance where you would not want one is if we had something kind of matted right here, permanently, or if that's kind of what you usually use for some of your storage. So we don't have that clearance issue. So we want at the top line, but if that is something for you, we have other ones that are gonna be a sidewinder which is gonna be on the side.

So all of this depends on what your trailer has going on. Our larger outer tube is going to have a powder coated finish, and it does tend to get a little scratch. It's not that big of a deal, but it is a thick powder coat. So there's no rust started or anything like that. So it's gonna resist against that rust and corrosion over time.

And as we start going down, the inner tube is also going to be powder-coated and that even concludes our footplate. So a lot of times you don't really see that, it's usually zinc coated. So if you're going through that all black look, this is gonna be a good one for you. So let's go over the footplate dimensions, overall length of seven inches, and the width is about four inches. And I liked how it's pretty fixed deal, it's about a quarter inch thick steel. So it's gonna be extra strong and it is bent on the sides. I like that just because when metal is bent, it's a little bit stronger. So even if we're on level pavement or gravel or whatever you're putting it down on, it's not really going to tweak, which I kind of like that, especially since this is not gonna be a jack where we can replace the foot. So that gave it that added strength, just because of that. But that being said, we aren't gonna be able to add on any type of wheel to this Jack. In it's most expanded form from the foot plate to the center of this hole on our tube it's gonna be about 29 and a half inches. And I'm not gonna use that. I mean, look at this trailer, it's kind of crazy, but it's nice to have it, especially if you're over-landing off grid, you never know what mother nature is gonna give you when you find your spot that you want. So this is kind of nice to have, but this is a lot of lift. Let's go ahead and pump this guy down to see what it's gonna be like in it's fully retracted position. It's gonna take a little bit of time to go all the way down, but it's not that difficult. It's just gonna be a little time consuming to do this. All right, there we go. So now from our plate to the things like hole, it's gonna be about 14 and three quarters of an inch. And since that it does take a little bit of time to completely crank it down. That's why we kind of liked this jack on this setup, just because we have a couple inches to the ground. So we're really not gonna have to crank on this thing that much. And it really does fit perfectly. So it does come with this little pin. So whenever we're ready to go, pull the pin out. We can rotate it around and we can replace this pin. So this is what you'll do right before you had to the trip. But as you can see, placement is key. You wanna get that sweet spot. And this is what a sweet spot looks like. So we have a little bit of wiggle room there. It's right up against that, and we have a little bit of wiggle room on the back, up against our cargo carrier. So this one, the black powder coat, looks great with the trailer, but too it fits perfect for our trailer. So definitely take some time and do some measurements to figure out where it's gonna go, measure twice, weld once. When comparing this to any of the other ones that we have in this little range, it just comes down to how much lift you really want. I had plenty of lift here, but one thing with this one that really sets it apart from all the others is it's all black and powder-coated which looks really good with this trailer. I really like it. One thing to think about is the pin. So we actually did misplace this pin, 'cause it doesn't have anything really holding it on there. So that's a potential upgrade that you can get with another jack, but I don't really think that's enough for me to go with another one. I liked the black powder coated finish enough to keep an extra eye on this pin. So I really don't care to compare it to anything. I think it does a good job. All these just look kind of the same. It's just how much lift you want but the look does kind of matter and this one has the best look. So that'll do, for a look at the Dutton Lainson trailer jack..
