Getting a trailer positioned perfectly in a tight garage or campsite can be frustrating, but the Ark Xtreme Off-Road Ratcheting Jack makes it simple. The built-in ratcheting handle lets you push down and pull up in small, controlled increments so you can inch your trailer exactly where you want it. Gear knobs at the base switch between forward, reverse, neutral, or lock—so you control every move. When both knobs are in neutral, the trailer rolls freely; flip one to reverse and you’ve got a built-in brake. It’s the easiest way to fine-tune placement without pushing or shoving the trailer by hand.
Soft ground, gravel, or uneven terrain won’t stop this jack. The twin 10" diameter x 2-3/4" wide steel wheels spread the load and keep the trailer steady while the flat-free rubber tires grip and roll smoothly over rocks and mud. Sealed bearings keep the wheels aligned on the cross shaft so they don’t wobble or drag like typical plastic caster wheels. Even in wet conditions or light sand, the treaded tires keep traction and stability so you can move confidently wherever you need to go.
Setting up takes hardly any effort thanks to the spring-loaded handle and drop tube design. Just pull the handle to drop the inner tube into one of four positions, then crank the sidewind handle to fine-tune the height. With a total adjustment of 15-1/2", including 10" of lift and 5-1/2" of drop leg adjustment, you get plenty of adjustment without stacking blocks or over-cranking. The jack supports up to 1,100 lbs and fits trailer frames 3" to 6" tall.
This jack is built from heavy-duty steel inside and out. The square body keeps everything aligned under side load, and the corrosion-resistant zinc finish holds up to weather with a 600-hour salt spray rating. A built-in grease zerk makes it easy to keep the internal screw lubricated for smooth turning through time and travel. It’s the kind of rugged construction you expect when something’s designed to handle the Outback and beyond.
When it’s time to roll out, the Ark Xtreme folds up neatly alongside the tongue. The side-mounted swivel pin and handle make it quick to swing the jack up for towing, and the wheels lock in place to prevent rattling or wear. The magnetic hand crank detaches for storage but locks firmly when in use—no slipping, no lost tools. Strong, simple, and secure, it’s ready for every trip.

Still working well after a year. Solidly built.

The forward and reverse are the directional way to point the nose of the trailer. It talks about this at the 4 minute mark on the attached video:

Frankly, I dont like it. Even on hard, level ground the rolling resistance of a loaded tandem axle trailer does not move the trailer. It simply rolls back to where you started from. If you try to rathchet more quickly, the operating rod permanently bends instead. A better alternative would be to install tandem wheels on the bottom of the standard tongue jack that comes with the trailer and then push the trailer from the top of the trailer tires themselves. More leverage.

I contacted the manufacturer and they said that the vibrations on the road should not cause the trailer jack to move from the stow position to deploy because the spring tension is too high to allow this. A possibility is that it was not locked into the stow position properly causing it to fall into deploy. It is recommended to give it a tug to ensure that it is properly locked.
