This Dutton-Lainson sidewind swivel jack is a back saver when hitching and unhitching loaded trailers. The heavy-duty D-L tongue jack reduces the effort required to maneuver a trailer into hitching position or to remove the trailer from a vehicle.

Specs:
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.

This Dutton-Lainson sidewind swivel jack is a back saver when hitching and unhitching loaded trailers. The heavy-duty D-L tongue jack reduces the effort required to maneuver a trailer into hitching position or to remove the trailer from a vehicle.Replaced original on 16 ft aluminum trailer. Easily mounted and works great.
First of all, despite the typical delays we're all experiencing these days the people at Etrailer sent updates. Communication is a good thing! I installed the jack on my Shorelander trailer and had to drill out the holes for the lock pin to accomodate the larger diameter pin as I had to use the factory mount on the trailer. Other than that, it mounted nicely and sure makes it easy to move the boat around. Well built jack, no more creaking and flexing!
Great, easy to install just might be improved a touch with the top bracket hole being a slot versus just a hole so there would be a bit more room to make a tight fit on some odd sized rails (like my vintage camper). BUT easy to install and works great!
The packaging of this product was in a heavy-duty cardboard which held up well. The appearance and heft of this jack was much better than the Chinese built version I bought a year ago. Immediately after installing this and putting the weight on the jack the boat glided easily on the new, larger wheel. Can't wait to take the boat/trailer out of the garage and enjoy the ease of movement from this new wheeled jack.
Always a great experience buying products from etrailer. The jack was purchased to replace the existing Jack which prematurely broke. The gears stripped out not allowing me to raise or lower the trailer. This new Jack is definitely better quality and the 8 inch wheel gives me better handling in the dirt. Thanks for shipping so fast!
Exact replacement for the original which was damaged.

This swivel jack works great. Plenty strong and smooth cranking motion while raising the trailer tongue. Love it.
Not much to say: they had it, they shipped it, I got it, I installed it. The folks at etrailer are my “go-to” guys (& gals) for almost everything retailer! Great service!
This trailer jack is amazing. The turn handle mechanism works so well, very smooth. We really like the ability to turn it sideways so it stores horizontally when in transit. The wheel turns very easily, making positioning painless. We both love that it was made in the USA. Ordering was easy, and shipping was lightning fast. Will be back if we need any more accessories for our trailer.
Very heavy duty, excellent value. A breeze to install. I used the free shipping option and it arrived on time. I am never diappointed when I order from etrailer.
Very well made and built tough, have had no issues
Heavy duty and the large wheel makes it easy to roll. Used on an 18' Lund Alaskan install was easy. Glad I spent a little extra and went first class. Made in USA, too.
Amazing quality, easy to install (20 minutes), works like a charm. This will outlast the trailer! Installation videos were helpful Thanks!
Replacement for older tongue jack. Has greater weight capacity, should improve stability on the loaded trailer. Easy to install, all components were included.
I received the order the next day and was surprised the item #dl22800 was made in the usa , ( real good ). it looks well built with thick metal and nice coating to prevent rust and it jacks up and down flawlessly. I don't know if the wheel is solid or not but it looks like it should last as long as the jack itself.
Working great for a year
Installs easily, folds up easily and quickly. Wheel rolls freely. I have not towed the trailer since installation to see how well it travels yet.
Great service. Great jack, the 8'' wheel rolls very well on hard ground.
Great Jack
EZ install and works great with 8" wheel
Works fine.
I have not used it yet, but delivery time was great......
Great Product! Quick delivery! Easy Installation! MADE IN AMERICA!!
Works as it should
Perfect fit - Thank you!
