If your trailer already has a compatible double-acting hydraulic power unit, you do not need to install another pump to add powered tongue support. This kit gives you two hydraulic jack legs plus the valves, hoses, and fittings needed to integrate them into the existing system. Each leg provides 10,000 lbs of lifting capacity and 12,000 lbs of support capacity, giving you 20,000 lbs of combined lift and 24,000 lbs of combined support.
The included selector valve lets the trailer's existing hydraulic power unit serve more than one function. Select the jack circuit when you need to raise or lower the trailer, then redirect hydraulic flow back to the trailer's existing cylinder or hoist when you're finished. This lets you add hydraulic landing support without replacing the power system already installed on the trailer.
Once hydraulic power is directed to the jack circuit, the included flow divider distributes flow between both double-acting legs so they can operate together. Use the system with a compatible HPU capable of up to 3,200 psi for extension and 1,500 psi for retraction. The flow divider helps the legs operate from the same system, but it does not make the jacks self-leveling if one foot reaches the ground before the other.
Both 4" x 4" square jack tubes are designed for direct-weld installation. Position each jack so the distance from the bottom of its footplate to the underside of the trailer frame does not exceed 8", helping preserve the intended lifting geometry and usable range. The hydraulic power unit and controls are not included, so their mounting and electrical requirements depend on the existing system you're connecting to.
Eight 48" hydraulic hoses, the selector valve, flow divider, tee, and hydraulic adapters are included to build the tandem jack circuit around your existing HPU. Both legs are double acting, so hydraulic pressure powers extension and retraction rather than relying on gravity to lower or return the jacks.
Each jack uses a 9-1/2" x 9-1/2" pivoting footplate that spreads the trailer load across a broad contact area and follows uneven gravel, dirt, or pavement more naturally. The exterior-grade black finish helps protect the square-tube jack bodies through everyday weather and trailer use.

Hi, everyone, Steve here with etrailer.com. Today, we're talking about these Dexter Dual Hydraulic Jack Add-Ons with nice selector valves rated at 12,000 pounds capacity. So folks, if you add these hydraulic jack legs to your existing hydraulic setup, you'll be able to lift your trailer quickly and easily. Now, you will need a hydraulic pump and power unit if you don't already have one on that trailer, and that's sold separately. Now, this works with units offering up to 3,200 psi of extension and 1,500 psi retraction pressures. It's gonna be great for maybe livestock, horse trailers, commercial, construction trailers, those kinda things as well.
And this nice selection lever here, that's gonna make it really easy to go back and forth from either the trailer itself or the jack themselves. So very nice design. We have all the fittings and everything. Let me go ahead and zoom in from the top down on those a little better, just so you can kinda see. You're getting the T-fitting, and then a whole bunch of straight ones.
And then while I've got that zoomed in, I can give you a little better view of that selector as well. And then, again, the handle just simply twist. And then you got your other ports here. And then, of course, you got this guy here as well included. All of these are machined aluminum to the highest standards.
Very, very nice, very, very corrosion and rust resistant as well. Now, the jacks themselves, so the legs themselves rather, those are gonna be square tubes with durable exterior-grade powder coating finish on them. That way, they'll simply just attach to your trailer frame the way you want them to. Now, I've got one kinda spun around and one facing you. Both of them have these two ports here on them for the hose hookups.
On this one, it's just on the backside. Again, that way, I can kinda show you that side of the jack. The legs, obviously, still have a little pivot to them just like most jack legs do. And that's gonna help with the, you know, going up and down on unlevel ground and those kind of things as well. So again, those pivoting foot pads are gonna be great for uneven surfaces. Well, folks, I think that's gonna wrap it up for our look together at this Dexter Dual Hydraulic Jack Add-On Kit. I'm Steven, if you have questions about this kit or any other hydraulic jacks, reach out to us, we'll be more than happy to assist you. Have a good one.

Overall the jacks and the system work good but the only thing that I would suggest it to make a cover that will fit over the hydraulic pump and motor! There are other manufacturers that have that option with theirs so there is no reason that this set up don’t have it
