Video Transcript for Review of etrailer Trailer Jack - Electric Trailer Jack with Tongue Weight Scale - e43KV

Hi everyone, Steven here with etrailer. Let's take a look together at our very own etrailer electric trailer jack. Now folks, this uses a tongue weight skeleton included along with an A-frame connection and you will need to power it up with a 12 volt direct power connection. Now this is rated at 3,500 pounds capacity and it's really nice because you get 18-inches of lift with that screw travel and you get an additional 4-1/2-inches roughly with the drop leg. So you're also going to get this nice canvas bag that's going to go on there when you're not towing. So when you're in park mode, you wanna store the trailer, put this bag on, keep dirt, debris, bugs out and stuff, mud daubers like to lay nest to make muddy nest and stuff in there.

You get the picture, right And then of course you've got the bag here that's got high density foam. That's going to be the storage bag for our tongue weight scale. It goes scaled down into the bag and then you can zip that up and put it in a storage location of your choice, whether it's your toolbox, behind a seat in a storage box or a storage compartment, who knows So that's what you're going to get as well with the bolts, nuts, and washers included for installation. And of course this guy, as you know, this is our manual up and down tool in the event that you, God forbid, have a power failure, you can pop off this top plug. Now I can put that in there and I can crank up or down as needed.

So this is a 3,500 pound electric jack. Again, you need to wire it directly. Now what's neat is that we give you the ring terminals needed and this has a built in automatic reset protection. It's a 20 amp automatic reset relay fuse, and that's going to protect the jack motor from overloads and also protect it in the vehicle from short circuits and those kind of things. Now zooming back down here to the bottom again, you have your drop leg.

I can simply pull the pin here. I can go up or down again, about 4-1/2-inches. That's the number of adjustments I have here with the drop leg. So if I want to get up higher easier or to the ground faster, I can lower the drop leg and close that distance faster before I have to engage the jack. Once I got that, I can put my tongue weight scale underneath here.

I can pin that in place. Now I can read my tongue weight scale in measurements of 50 pounds all the way up to 2,000 max as far as the rating on this. And if I want to, if maybe I can't read it from the front, I need to turn it sideways. I got a hole on both sides that I can use as well. So we gave you lots of adjustments there as far as that goes. So you should be able to access those really easy. And then you can put your drop leg back in and be on your way as needed. So tongue weight is very important folks. If you don't already know, that's what's going to be crucial to give you, or one of the crucial things rather, give you a smooth ride. So if you have a heavy tongue weight, you're going to be pushing the back end of your vehicle down, pushing that front up, your headlights are pointing to the sky, you've lost traction in the front a little bit and you can potentially fishtail pulling that trailer. So we get an accurate tongue weight reading. Now we can adjust gear forward or back, get it more leveled over the trailer axle and we can be on our way safely. And you'd honestly be surprised. We've got lots of literature, we've got lots of test videos as well on the page where you can see demonstrations and just see how crucial even just 6-inches to a foot moving maybe 50 pounds back or forward can make all the difference as far as fishtailing and those kind of things. So make sure you're checking those out. If you have any questions about any of that, reach out to us. We're more than happy to assist you as well. So folks, again, this is our very own etrailer electric power jack with included tongue weight scale for an A-frame connection. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
