Dutton-Lainson pull pin easy swivel industrial top winding jack.

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.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Dutton-Lainson Goldenrod top line trailer jack with foot. Now, this Goldenrod swivel utility jack is going to let you raise and lower the tongue of your trailer so you can connect and disconnect your trailer coupler from your hitch ball. And this jack features a lift capacity of 2,000 pounds and this is made here in the USA and the outer and inner tubes are constructed of heavy gauge steel. And the heavy duty ACME screw is totally enclosed in the outer tube to help protect it from sand and dirt.
The jack is protected by a matte powder coated black finish and this has a swivel design that is going to let you swing this jack up for storage along the trailer frame and you can bring it back down for use. So this is going to be very easy to use, very convenient to use, and it's gonna be easy to pull this pin and swivel it when you have this mounting bracket welded to the tongue of your trailer. So you can see just how easy that is. This is a half inch spring loaded pull pin that's going to allow you to secure and release this jack. This is a weld-on bracket and you can see how the two are going to swivel independently so that a bracket is going to swivel freely when you have that pin pulled from the jack.
So that's going to allow you to swivel this jack as you need it. When this is welded, when this bracket is welded to your trailer frame, again you're gonna pull that pin and then you're gonna be able to rotate that jack up into the stowed position and then easily bring it back down for use. And you'll notice how our plate has four holes on it and that's going to allow that pin to engage in whatever hole is going to work best for your particular application, whether you want the jack facing towards the front or if you want it towards the back pointing towards the rear of your trailer. Let me retrieve my ruler here and just go over some measurements of that plate. As you can see, we're sitting at 4-1/2 inches and that's going to be 4-1/2 inches square.
And this top line handle has an extra heavy duty screw drive and the ergonomic molded handle grip with a textured surface is going to be very easy to grasp onto, very easy to operate. The handle is also stowable. You can just fold it over like so and it'll be out of your way. If you're wondering about the handle radius, I am going to measure from the center here of this bolt where the handle is mounted all the way to the end of our handle. And as I hope you can see there, that handle radius, we're sitting right at about 6-1/2 inches.
And the foot plate, let me flip this down here just real quick so you can see, bring that into view, our foot plate is actually welded to the base of this inner tube. And looking at the overall length, we're sitting at seven inches. The overall width, we're sitting at four inches, so it gives you a good base that this jack can sit on and it's not gonna easily sink into softer terrain when you're using this because of the size of that bracket. Now, let me give you some other measurements. Let me make sure I'm in the retracted position here. So the bracket height, when this is fully retracted as I have it now, we're gonna be measuring from the base to the center of our bracket. So looking at that retracted height, we are sitting right at about 11-3/16 inches on the retracted height. And then when this is fully extended, again measuring from the base to the center of our bracket, we are sitting at 21-3/16 inches. So you're gonna get a travel of 10 inches. And then the overall height of this jack, again when it's fully retracted, not taking into account the handle, just the jack itself, we're sitting right about 15-1/2 inches on that overall height when this is fully retracted. Well, that's going to wrap up our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
