Trailer Jack, Sidewind Swivel Jack with 6" Wheel - 1200 lbs.
Features:
Specs:
When hitching and unhitching loaded trailers, D-L tongue jacks are real back savers. These easy-to-install smooth operating tongue jacks can be mounted in a variety of ways on various sizes of trailer tongues. Heavy-duty D-L tongue jacks reduce physical effort required to maneuver a loaded trailer into hitching position or removing the trailer from a vehicle. All models are made from heavy-gauge steel for strength and durability.
A trailer jack is designed to lift the tongue of your trailer so you can connect the trailer coupler to your hitch ball. To do this, you'll need a jack with a lift capacity high enough to handle your trailer's tongue weight.
Tongue weight is the amount of weight that your trailer applies to the back of your tow vehicle. Typically, your tongue weight should be 10-15% of your total trailer weight (trailer + cargo). In other words, a 10,000-lb trailer would have a tongue weight between 1,000 lbs and 1,500 lbs. For a trailer this size, you would need a jack with a lift capacity of at least 1,500 lbs.
It's okay to have a jack with a weight rating that is higher than your trailer's tongue weight. In fact, a jack with a higher lift capacity should operate more efficiently, allowing you to spend less time cranking and more time camping.
Every jack offers a certain amount of lift or travel. Screw travel is the distance the jack extends when you crank it (or toggle it to "extend" on an electric model). Some jacks include a drop leg for extra adjustability. On these jacks, you'll see the maximum extension of the drop leg listed in the specs as well. Adding the screw travel and drop leg travel together will give you the total lift. The total lift listed above can help you determine how high this jack will be able to raise your trailer.

Trailer Jack, Sidewind Swivel Jack with 6" Wheel - 1200 lbs.This device is fairly heavy-duty, sturdy, and the swivel works easily and smoothly from horizontal to vertical and latches/unlatches easily. It adds flexibility to the trailer's built-in screw-up/down jack with a flat plate on its bottom. It allows me to move the trailer easier without having to lift up the front end. The customer service was great: a customer service rep got involved and expedited the order processing so it arrived a lot earlier that I expected from the website,. That's excellent customer service. Thanks!
I needed one for my woodsplitter which has a 2”x2” tongue, this works great. It was easy to install and it makes raising and lowering my woodsplitter a breeze. I would highly recommend this product . I use my 4-wheeler to move my splitter and this works perfectly, glad I found it. thanks so much
Greatjack, much better than I had

Great jack. Has done well.
Problem was that regular Cargo trailer front Jack had to be removed every time I hooked it up behind Camper because of zero turning clearance to rear bumper.
Swing Jack installed closer inboard of hitch on Trailer frame and folded after hook up provides unlimited turning clearance. Added value was the ability to move trailer since Jack has large diameter wheel.
Special brackets allowed for easy installation. (no drilling/tapping of holes)
This took a small modification to my trailer as I had angle rails and not solid rails. But this has held up great. Sturdy design, ease of use!
I am very pleased with this product.
I'm writing this review one year after purchasing. The original reason for buying was to allow room for a double hitch with a bike rack in it while towing a pop-up camper. It did the job well enough that I decided not to take it off & put the original back on. I don't trust it enough to turn the trailer on the wheel with the exception of perhaps on a smooth driveway and while not too-extended.
Fast delivery
I use this product on a shorelander boat trailer hauling a 16.5 ft Lund Mr. Pike.
I have had no problems with this wheel jack. In fact it has performed admirably for me.
Easy enough switch out. Bolts are much longer than the original on mine so I felt like I was ratcheting forever, but that's what makes it a mostly universal fit. Take a look at your original bolts and see if you would rather use those to make install a little faster.
Pro: Seems well built. The swivel is much heavier duty than the original that came with the trailer. Well packed and all the mounting hardware was present. Con: No grease fitting for lube.

It hasnt gotten a lot of use as its on a snowmobile trailer and we didnt have much snow. It has been outside all this time and no rust:
After 1 year I can say that my Trailer Jack, Side wind Swivel Jack with 6" wheel has made this old guys job moving, hitching and storing so much easier. It is installed on my 16 foot cargo trailer (Motorcycler Hauler). We have travelled all over the Eastern USA and Canada taking in the Calbot Trail Nova Scotia and the Florida Keys. There has only been the wife and I and both in our 60's and we have no problems now moving the trailer loaded or unloaded and it moves and stores easily. Great Product!
This was a replacement jack for the original which was accidently damaged and the new one works perfectly. I'm very happy with the jack, the ordering process and the overall experience with etrailer. I highly recommend this company.

After ~ 1 year, the trailer jack still works perfectly. Very satisfied wthe product and the etrailer company.
This swing-back marine jack is a great buy and the materials are nice quality. I used this to replace my original 800lb. Fulton jack that came with my Shorelandr' double PWC trailer (long overdue). Since this jack is rated at 1200 lbs., I had to drill a larger hole on the trailer frame and on the jack swivel bracket, plus I had to move the pin from the right side to the left side of the jack (left side is meant for smaller pin/right side for larger/picture online is incorrect). This is a nicer jack than the original, the pin is heftier and the extra work was worth it. Time will tell how long it lasts around salt water.
Trailer jack has functioning very good.
The only problem is the finish is starting to corrode for some reason. I am going to try to put a coating of wax on it to see if it helps.
The trailer jack is only used in the spring summer and fall and is stored inside and has never been out in the weather. The trailer jack is always inside in the winter.
The finish is not adequate and I am not sure why the corrosion is taking place.
I purchased two of these jacks to mount on my portable welders so they could be rolled around by hand in the shop. Both installed easily without reading the instructions and function flawlessly. Although manufactured in China, they are of good quality and will serve my purpose well. The welder in the photos weighs just over 1400 pounds and pushes/rolls very easily on the shop floor. etrailer.com and their usual outstanding service provided these at a good price shipped rapidly.
I will continue to use etrailer.com for my light trailer needs.
This is a great product. Sadly it was made in China. At one time they were made in the United States. Hopefully, someday they will return production to the USA.

Still works fine
This an extremely well made trailer tongue jack at a reasonable price. I especially like the 6" wheel. My previous jack did not have a wheel and this wheel makes it much easier to move the trailer by hand when I need too.
Ordered this boat jack...was missing one of the brackets in the parts bag...I called and received great customer service...they looked up the missing part and sent a replacement out to me asap. Jack works great so far and installed easily. Thanks
Looks well-made, install went well. Will reserve final judgement until after the season as to long-term reliability. Great initial follow-up service from e-trailer.com.

Best one Ive had
as described, easy to install ( no installation instructions included but offers from eTrailer to help & instructions/video on website), works great, A++++++
Outstanding. This was ordered for my 6x12 enclosed dirt-bike hauler because a fold-up model gives much better ground clearance when going on rough dirt roads. It is well-designed and well-put-together. The installation was a breeze and it works perfectly. I strongly recommend this jack.
This is a GREAT company to do business with. I have been burned many times ordering things over the interweb; but this company has it all together. I received my trailer jack in record time. It is just what I needed. The quality is exceptional for the low price I paid. I will recomend this company to everyone I know.
Thanks etrailer, sort of restores a persons faith in humanity!
The product is doing the job it was purchased to do.
The only negative on these galvanized products is that after a couple years they begin to show signs of rust on the surface that needs immediate attention.
Robust along with smooth plating. Functions well. Should last a good long while. Wheel size makes rolling easy. One complaint. Wish it was made in the USA. Thank our global economy.
