• What Weight Capacity of Tongue Jack is Needed for a 4,600 Pound Dry Weight Trailer
  The rule of thumb for estimating a tongue weight is 10-15 percent of trailer weight. A 4,600 pound trailer would have a tongue weight between 460 and 690 pounds. Somewhere between a 1,000 to 2,000 pound capacity jack would be fine. Having a jack that is rated for more than the tongue weight is not a problem. The jack you were looking at Pro Series A-Frame Topwind Jack, part # PSEA20000103, would work fine. You could also use Dutton-Lainson jack, part # DL22530 or Bulldog Heavy Duty Jack...

• Would Pro Series Jack Work Well on 4,600 lb Trailer
  Hey Rawson, so for a 4,600 lb trailer you'd have about 460 lbs of tongue weight which a 2,000 lb jack like the Pro Series part # PSEA20000103 would work great for. The jacks are rated for what they can lift and support and on a trailer that is the tongue weight. So this jack would have about 4 times as much lifting capacity which means it would be super easy to crank. We don't have a way to look up the lift height of your fish house unfortunately.

• Differences Between Pro Series Trailer Jack # PSEA20000103 and # PSEA20000340
  The only difference between the Pro Series trailer jack # PSEA20000103 and # PSEA20000340 is the finish. The part # PSEA20000340 is zinc coated steel and the # PSEA20000103 is powder coated black. Both are corrosion resistant finishes but power coating is better in that regard so that would be what I would go with.

• Trailer Jack Solution For Jack that Hits Tailgate When Down
  The # PSEA20000103 is one of the shortest A-frame jacks we offer from the mounting bracket to the top of the jack at 11 inches. The best solution I can recommend would be to go with a side mounted trailer jack like part # PS1400300303 that would install on the trailer frame behind where your current jack is so that you would have tailgate clearance when needed.

This foot plate has an inner diameter of 1-3/4 inches which is slightly larger than your 1-5/8 inch outer diameter jack tube. All of the other foot plates that we carry have an inside diameter of 2 inches.

• Trailer Jack Weight Capacities for Lifting and Holding Weight
  A trailer tongue jack like Pro Series # PSEA20000103 has a rated lift capacity of 2000-lbs. Two of them would have twice the capacity but this type of jack is typically used singly on an A-Frame trailer. Other types of jacks like a 5th wheel dual-jack landing gear kit # BD500162 consists of two separate but interconnected jacks each able to lift 4000-lbs which gives this kit its overall 8K rating. In comparison a stabilizer scissor jack like # UF48-979002 will have a much higher weight...

• Replacement Parts Availability for Pro Series Trailer Jack
  Economy jacks like the Pro Series # PSEA20000103 do not have the same availability of replacement parts as the comparable products that are more costly. This is why they cost less. Pro Series does offer a replacement handle # PS1400920383 for their higher-capacity square tube jacks like # PS1400950376 but not for their lower-capacity value-priced jacks.

• How to Determine Correct Size Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack for 12,500-lb Triple Axle Trailer
  The correct electric A-Frame trailer tongue jack for your 12,500-lb triple axle travel trailer will need to have the capacity that will surpass your trailer's loaded tongue weight, which is typically between 10 and 15 percent of the loaded trailer's weight. So your 12,500 pound trailer would have a tongue weight between 1250 lbs and 1875 lbs, so any trailer jack rated over 2,000 lbs would be sufficient to lift the trailer's tongue, however I recommend a higher capacity and high quality...

• Correct Weight Rating For A-Frame Trailer Jack On 6700lb Trailer
  An A-Frame jack only needs to be rated high enough to support and lift the tongue weight of your trailer. Since your trailer weighs 6700lbs and tongue weight is typically 10-15% of the trailer weight you should have between 670-1005lbs tongue weight. With that figure in mind the Pro Series Round, A-Frame Jack - Topwind - 14" Lift - 2,000 lbs # PSEA20000103 you were looking at would be perfect if you are wanting a manual jack, or the # EJ-3520-WBX with a 3500lb rating would be a perfect...

• Trailer Jack Recommendation For 14,000 Lb A-frame Dump Trailer
  The rule of thumb for estimating a tongue weight is 10-15 percent of trailer weight. So your 14,000 pound trailer would have a tongue weight between 1400 lbs and 2100 lbs so any trailer jack rated over 2,500 lbs would be sufficient to lift the trailer's tongue however I recommend a higher capacity and high quality designed jack because they tend to last a bit longer. The most common reason for a trailer jack to stop working is because of friction that breaks down the gears and and over-extension. I...

• Recommended Electric A-Frame Jack for Grand Design Imagine 2800BH Travel Trailer
  To choose the proper electric trailer jack, you'll want to determine the trailer's tongue weight, which is usually between 10-15 % of it's as-towed weight. You listed the hitch or tongue weight as 604 lbs, but that's with a camper with no gear, propane or water stowed aboard. Your tongue weight is likely a couple of hundred pounds more. Because the jack you eventually end up with will not only have to lift and support the trailer's tongue weight but will also need to partially lift the...

• Looking for A-Frame Trailer Jack That Retracts Enough to Clear Driveway Aprons
  Swivel jacks do not work well with A-frame trailers, so a swivel jack would not be a good choice. Your best bet would be to stay with an A-frame jack. I would recommend finding the jack with the lowest possible retracted height. For instance, the Pro Series # PSEA20000103 you mentioned has a retracted height of 8 inches, which would be the distance between the bottom of the jack tube and the mounting bracket. The Pro Series # PS1401000303 has the same 2000 lb capacity as the jack you mentioned,...

• Why Does an A-Frame Trailer Jack Get Difficult to Crank
  I spoke with my contact at Fulton jacks and he stated that what you are describing is a symptom of the jack screw inside the jack seizing up. Jack companies don't make the internals of their jacks easily accessible for cleaning and lubrication. Typically to get them apart requires quite a bit of work and then they are nearly impossible to get back together properly. You can try lubricating the jack from the bottom of the inner leg up into the top of the jack, but it's going to be much...

• Floor Jack to Change Wheel/Tire of 5,000 lb Trailer
  A 3,000 lb jack would be able to lift a 5,000 lb trailer since the jack would basically only be lifting half of the trailer weight since the other half is supported by the wheel on the other side. I think bare minimum you'd need a 2,500 lb jack though. That said going with a higher rated jack like the # PTW1605 which has a 4,000 lb capacity would be a really great choice as that just means that jacking up the trailer will be an easier job for you and this kit comes with jack stands which...

• Recommended Electric A-Frame Jack for Trailer with 5,824 Dry Weight
  When looking at electric A-frame jacks, the important weight to consider on your trailer is its tongue weight. This is the weight that the jack will actually be lifting and not its total loaded weight. A trailer's tongue weight should be 10 to 15 percent of its total weight. If your trailer has an empty weight of 5,824 pounds, we can estimate a dry tongue weight of around 580 to 875 pounds. Note though that you will want to also account for the loaded cargo weight as well when the trailer...

• What To Do if Trailer Jack Breaks Nut From Assembly and Stops Functioning
  The nut you are seeing in the inner pipe is not designed to be replaced. It sounds as if your jack was wound past is working limit and either broke or ruined the threads on the lift rod. You will need to replace the jack, if this is the case.

• Tire Change Jack For An 11,000 lb Toy Hauler
  There are a couple options that may interest you. One very popular option is the Blaylock EZ Jack # EZ-JACK. This is a wedge-style jack. Basically what you would do for a triple axle trailer is turn the curve up, opposite the wheel, and then drive the trailer up on to the jack which will allow you to change a tire. The main things I like about this option is that it is compact and lightweight, it also does not require any "elbow grease" like a manual crank jack. It also can be used as a...

• Can a Manual A-Frame Trailer Jack be Raised and Lowered Using a Power Drill
  Like you said there are some stabilizer jacks and even some winches that will allow you to attach a drill to raise/lower or reel in legs or line much faster. But there are no A-frame jacks, or any regular trailer tongue jacks, that I have seen that have this type of feature. If manually cranking the handle starts to be a chore the best option is to go with an electric jack. The most cost effective one is Ultra-Fab jack # UF38-944037 rated for 3,500 pounds.

• A-Frame Trailer Jack for 7,000 lb Trailer to Help Install Spring Bars of Weight Distribution
  The Pro Series 2,000 lb A-Frame jack part # PSEA20000103 that you referenced would do a great job to help with installing the spring bars of your weight distribution system. This would have over double the capacity needed for your trailer's tongue weight so it would do a great job also lifting some of the weight of the rear of your truck when the coupler is attached to the hitch ball. I attached a review video for the jack for you to check out as well. For a foot plate to help spread out...

• Possible Solution to Allow Tailgate to Fold Down without Hitting Trailer Powered Jack
  The jack you mentioned is a very standard RV style of A-frame jack. Your customer might have luck going with a longer ball mount to add clearance between the tailgate and the jack but there really isn't a great way to get a smaller powered jack. For example, we have the Curt ball mount part # D-26 which is 12-5/8 inches from hitch pin hole to ball hole which might give your customer the additional clearance needed.

• How to Grease the Gears on the Pro Series Round, A-Frame Jack, # PSEA20000103
  To grease the gears on the Pro Series Round, A-Frame Jack, # PSEA20000103, you would need to remove the handle and top plate to expose the gears. The gears come already greased but if more is needed, you would have to completely remove the old grease (not all greases are compatible with each other) before adding the new grease like LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease, # L11390.

• What Jack Support Plate Fits Pro A-Frame Jack-Topwind # PSEA20000103
  The Bulldog Jack Support Plate # BD003135 that you referenced is the closest fit we have for your Pro Series Jack # PSEA20000103. The outside diameter of the jack is 2-1/4 inches and the plate is 2-1/3 inches, so there will be a tiny bit of play, however, not enough for any consequence.
