Specs:
The simple truth is that salt can be highly corrosive to metal when exposure lasts for an extended period oftime. So, the more you tow around it, the more you need to protect your trailer from it.
Dutton-Lainson's specially formulated TUFFPLATE finish on this jack helps to ensure that it doesn't end up looking like the one pictured above. TUFFPLATE offers 3 layers of corrosion protection. The first layer is a specially formulated zinc finish. The second layer is chromate. Finally, a sealer puts a third barrier between the jack's gleaming good looks and anything that can contribute to rust, like freshwater or even saltwater exposure.
Rust-resistant coatings are graded according to a salt spray rating. Basically, this rating shows the amount oftime it takes for a material to show signs of corrosion when exposed to pure, continuous salt spray. Zinc plating typically begins to deteriorate after about 100 hours. Dacromet usually lasts for around 300 to 400 hours. Dutton-Lainson's TUFFPLATE finish lasted nearly 500 hours in the salt spray test before the first appearance of rust (about 30% longer than a traditional powder coat finish). As for the first appearance of white corrosion, it performed about as well as typical zinc finishes.
The environment this test creates is much harsher than anything you'll ever experience in your journeys, but it provides a testament to how well this jack resists rust and corrosion.
A trailer jack lifts your trailer high enough at the tongue to allow you to couple it with your vehicle. Usually, your tongue weight is about 10-15% of your gross trailer weight (GTW). For example, a 10,000-lb trailer has atongue weight of 1,000 lbs to 1,500 lbs. To raise the tongue of a trailer this size, you'd need a jack that can handle a static load of no less than 1,500 lbs. And, yes, 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 capacity should operate more efficiently, allowing you to spend less time cranking and more time fishing.

Simple Attachment. Heavy duty operational, Just as described.
Great quality, holding up just fine one year later
Everything appears to be of high quality, and I was completed satisfied. It probably won't be installed until spring. I plan on sending pictures then.
I sent pictures of how the box was totally destroyed and looks like it was dragged behind a plane. Had to send another one back that broke within a year and had to pay $[XX] dollars to send in back out of pocket. Ridiculous
Great Customer service. Timely delivery. Dutton-Lainson also a solid company. I expect years of use out of this jack.
Alwayus great service and speed!
It's was quick and the returned iteam is in. Quality parts, good weld.
I have bought a number of items from etrailer over many years. Service is great, fast shipping, very good communication, what more can you ask for.
Needed this for the extra ground clearance and range of lift. The existing swing jack with a wheel would not let the trailer tongue go low enough. Installed in 20 minutes. Left the swing away installed too. Just incase I need to push the trailer around
I purchased this jack because I needed a taller to compensate for the decline angle of my parking pad. The taller jack will allow the boat to drain fully after rain storms. It was easy to install and stronger than the previous jack.
Just what I needed, and not expensive. The Q and A answered all my questions about exact dimensions. I like etrailer! And they work weekends and ship it fast.
Marked down a notch only because the product description states it has an 800 lb. capacity, while the box and jack say 1200 lbs. The model number is correct, it just appears the capacity was increased along the line. That being said, the product appears to be stout and works well. A worthwhile replacement for my previous jack. Shipped and delivered promptly.
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!
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)
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
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:
Delivery date as promised, good service.
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.
