Dutton-Lainson pull pin swivel side wind trailer jack with foot. Matte black finish.
Features:
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 Easy Swivel Sidewind Trailer Jack with Foot. 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 to and from your hitch ball. And this jack features a lift capacity of 2,000 pounds. This is made here in the USA, and the outer and inner tubes are constructed of heavy gauge steel.
The heavy duty ACME screw, and miter gears are totally enclosed in the outer tube to help protect it from sand and dirt. And the jack itself is protected by a nice matte powder coated black finish. Now this does have a swivel design that's going to let you swing the jack up for storage along the trailer frame, and then you can bring it back down for use. And as you can see here, this does include a convenient, easy to operate half inch spring loaded pole pin that's going to secure and release this jack. This is a weld-on bracket that is included here.
And you can see when I pull the pin to release the bracket, how the bracket itself swivels independently from the jack. So when this bracket is welded to your trailer jack or to your trailer rather, you're just going to pull the pin, and then you can rotate that jack up in a stowed position, and then easily bring it down, bring it back down for use. Now you'll notice that our bracket has four holes in it, and that's going to allow our 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 facing towards the back pointing towards the rear of the trailer. So again, very easy, very convenient to use. The pin is spring loaded.
Looking at the measurement of the bracket itself, we are four and a half inches square and this sidewind handle has an extra heavy screw drive, and it's ergonomic. It has an ergonomic molded handle grip with a textured surface. So this is gonna be very easy to hold onto, especially if it's damp weather. And let me flip this over here, just so you can see our foot plate. The foot plate is welded on, so it's not gonna go anywhere.
It's gonna be very durable and strong. Looking at the length, we're sitting right at seven inches long. The width four inches wide, so you've got a nice wide base there. And then let me make sure that I have this fully retracted, and just give you some other measurements here. I want to give you the bracket height, when this is fully retracted. So I think I can do this with my ruler here. Measuring from the base that this is sitting on all the way to the center of our bracket. As you can see, we're sitting right at 11 and a half inches when it's fully retracted. Now when you have this fully extended, you're gonna get a travel of 10 inches. So when this is fully extended, again from the base to the center of our bracket, this is gonna be sitting at 21 and a half inches on that fully extended height. And then the overall height of this jack, when it's fully retracted from the top to the bottom, we're sitting right at 18 inches tall when this is fully retracted overall. Well that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
