Video Transcript for Bulldog Square Swivel Jack with Square Pipe Mount Review

Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Bulldog Square Trailer Jack. So, this is gonna be a weld on trailer jack. It does come with one, but if you already have one of these on your trailer, you don't really have to use it. But whenever you do weld it on, we wanna make sure that the hole's gonna be farthest away from the trailer so we can mount it. So, it's gonna go, like that. We also wanna make sure we position it right to where we're not gonna hit anything.

So, just keep that in mind. But if you want to check and see if yours is gonna be good enough. The outer diameter, so from the outside here to the outside here, the width is about two inches. And then, the inner diameter of the jack itself is about 2 1/4 of an inch. So, it slides on there really nice.

And this is gonna be great for the side loading. So, we don't have a side load gate on our trailer, but with the square compared to a circle, it is gonna be a little bit stronger whenever you're loading up onto the side. But with this one, it's gonna give us about 5,000 pounds of the static capacity. Meaning, we can't really have 5,000 pounds on here and lift it up, but we can lift it up if it's under 3,000 pounds. So 3,000 pounds lift, 5,000 pounds static.

When it comes to the completely retracted position, it's about 15 3/16 of an inch. But when we take the top wind little lever, we can go all the way down and it's going to be about 30 3/16 of an inch, a total travel of about 15 inches. This is a top wind, so it's not gonna be a side wind. There really, it should all just depends on what you like best. Whether you want to go like this, or go like this, regardless, we're not really gonna have to worry about it hitting anything because we do have a nice pivot here, and we do have a knob too, that's gonna move with it.

So, it's gonna be nice and easy to do even if you do have some gloves on. And the radius of this handle is about 6 1/2 inches from the center, to the farthest most point. So, we are gonna have, from the top of our little mounting point right here, to the very, very top of the jack, it's gonna be seven inches. So, make sure that doesn't interfere with anything up top on your trailer. But then with the square, what we're gonna have to do, is pull this pin, we're gonna have to pull it out and rotate it around for it to fit since it's not circular. So that measurement's also gonna be useful just to make sure whenever your welding this on, we don't put it too close to our coupler and we wanna make sure that we don't put it too close to anything that we have back here. So, let's do another measurement. So, we do have about seven inches from here to here. And then, from that same exact point to the end, I'd say it's about 17 inches. So, an overall length of about two foot. The outer tube is gonna have a powder-coated finish. So it's not gonna rust away. And then, all the other components like the handle and of course our inner tube, it's gonna be zinc coated, so it's not gonna rust away over time. And notice, how the footplate is bent. So with metal, when you pre-bend it, it's actually stronger. So, that's kind of cool. So, the dimensions of the base, the length is about 7 1/2 inches, and the width is about 3 3/4 quarters of an inch. When it comes to trailer jacks, there's only a couple of things you want to look at. One, you just wanna make sure when you weld this on, that the length of it, isn't really gonna interfere with our coupler in front or any else that we have going on back here. Two, we wanna make sure that it's gonna be big enough to lift the trailer up enough, so you can get the coupler off the ball on your truck or your vehicle. And also just the capacity. Just get an idea of how much the trailer weighs and what the max load is. We don't wanna limit ourselves from the get-go. But with this one, it is kind of unique compared to some of the other ones. A lot of them are circular. But if you are doing the side loading that's where the squares' is gonna shine 'cause there's gonna be a little bit less movement, it's gonna be a little bit stronger as well. Also, if you we're to upgrade, as you can see down here, the footplate does not remove. So, if you do want a footplate that you can take off and then maybe put a wheel on, we do sell those here at etrailer, and that's gonna be a little bit easier. So, if you're ball mount, is like this far off to the left or the right, with a wheel, you can kind of shimmy it a little bit, so you don't have to do all that moving with the truck. It's a little bit easier and we do have that on our website. But when it comes to this, it's a very high-quality trailer jack, and I think it's gonna be a great option for 'ya. And again, this was the Bulldog Square Trailer Jack, and I'm Adam with etrailer..
