How to Determine the Lift Capacity You Need in a Jack
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.
Trailer and Camper Jack Lift
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.

Use this electric tongue jack to lift your trailer with the flip of a switch. The steel jack has 19" of travel and a 5" drop leg for extra lift. Extends 6" in 32.2 seconds with 1,000 lbs of tongue weight.by: Jeff 12/16/2022
The only thing keeping this from a 5 star review is the fact that the description says it has 24" lift but the actual fact is an 18" lift with a 5" extension foot giving it a 23" lift total. Other than that it does exactly what it says and appears to be well built. ETrailer has always provided great delivery and service.
by: Bob 11/18/2022
Jack works very well. Not fast but gets the job done. Unfortunately I can't lower my tailgate fully without hitting the jack. Tried to rotate the head as I saw some jacks allowed. This one won't allow that. Very satisfied otherwise. Used less than one full season so can't offer an opinion on durability.
by: Larry 09/17/2022
Installed easily and I chose to power it from my truck, which meant I only had to add an RV plug to match trailer connection. Minutes later it was operational and has performed perfectly for a year. Nice smooth operation and wintered well. Quite happy! A++
by: Otto S.09/28/2016
Mounted quick and easy. Plenty of wire for electrical hook up. Lots of power even with a full load of water in the front tank. The only change I made to installation was longer bolts to accept washers and nuts to the bottom side of hitch. I didn't trust the taped holes in the thin hitch frame. This was no fault of the new jack. Still working strong. A back saver that's worth the money. I should have bought one years ago!
Comments
What a wonderful invention. Caution must be used when retracting. Too bad some kind of stop isnt used. But it sure works good!
Otto S - 09/28/2017by: Paul R10/07/2017
Great service from etrailer.com. Ordered the jack and a Fastway e2 Trunion hitch on Saturday, and had them at my door the following Wednesday.
Got everything installed today and all works great. I did notice that even with proper torquing, the mounting plate on the jack bent a bit under load of my Flagstaff pop-up. Works great...but I'll have to keep an eye on that mount. Directions call for an underplate, which I don't have room for on my trailer tongue.
by: Rebecca E09/26/2022
Great selection of all things trailer! We have a wide collection of trailers and this is a great go to site!
by: Scott06/22/2018
I had this jack on my last trailer and I liked it. It is nice that it has a level as part of the cover to get you close. My trailer is 5,500 lbs and this jack has no issues with lifting the tongue. I do not like the glass fuse and holder that comes with it. The same fuse holder failed on my last trailer. So when I ordered this one for my new camper I stopped by the auto parts store and got a good quality sealed blade fuse holder. I thought I had read that this did not come with the mounting bolts. It does. I used longer bolts with additional fender washers and lock nuts. Ordering from etrailer is the best. It was convenient, easy, and the price is really good.

Easy install, works as described. No modifications to trailer were required for a 22 Hideout 176bhs. Comes with a ring terminal for battery positive screw connection.
by: Eric03/18/2018
I purchased 2 of these a year ago to replace a hand crank on a cargo trailer. I wanted to modify the tongue of a trailer where the crank was in the way of loading and unloading a work van. The push of a button, in this case two, is way easier and much faster than old school hand power. It worked out so well, I did a dump trailer as well. Then, a friends trailer. I might be starting a trend.
by: Vern N07/29/2017
I ordered the Stromberg Carlson electric tongue jack from etrailer told them I needed it right away because we were traveling and mine had broke. They shipped it right away. I had it on the 3rd day I installed it and was back on the road. This is not the first time I have used etrailer and it will not be the last.
by: Peggy 11/28/2022
works like a charm!
by: Yvon03/21/2018
Product was conform to description, easy to install and work great, I completed installation in less than 30 minutes.
Comments
My Stromberg Carlson power jack is still working well. As for all my belongings I take good care of it, that should make it work for a long time I hope...
Yvon - 03/21/2019by: Jeff 12/14/2021
Great product! It worked well on my enclosed trailer and allowed me to put a generator tray on it. Once again, etrailer got it to me fast!
by: Allen05/17/2019
Installed in minutes, holes lined up like they should. Just added a connection to wire and hooked it to battery and everything worked good. No more hand cranking and it looks good on the camper!
by: Brian08/08/2017
Originally purchased a different model, E-trailer emailed me to let me know that the model I ordered was backordered for over a month. I contacted E-trailer by phone and was help by Troy H. Troy help me find a replacement model that would fit my needs and was in stock for immediate shipping. My shipment arrived 3 days after ordering, I replaced it that evening and it works great. Troy was a great help and E-trailer has shown they are a customer service driven company, THANKS!

I installed this Stromberg Carlson electric jack about a year ago. Installation was very easy (I installed it while hitched to tow vehicle - don't use your stabilizers to hold your up your trailer weight). The jack worked great on several outings last year - great time (and back) saver when setting up. However, we just bought a bigger trailer (used) and I wanted to swap this with the factory electric jack on the new trailer. The dealer agreed it was a good jack but he wouldn't let me swap. Oh well, I'll probably be replacing that one with another Stromberg Carlson soon. Also, I found the best price here of all vendors when I initially shopped for it.
by: Tim C07/26/2017
Product was delivered on time. This was purchased as a replacement for a hand crank jack. It took me less than an hour to install this. Most of that time was spent trying to find a 12v power source. Otherwise it would have only taken me about 20 or 30 minutes. It seems to work great so far. The video on how to install it helped a lot.
by: Steve02/08/2017
I can't review the electric trailer jack since it is winter and I won't be installing it for several months. But I can rate etrailer and the order speed. I ordered the jack on Sunday evening and it was delivered Wednesday morning. No problem there!
Comments
I love the jack, far less effort for a retiree and the manual jack was starting to feel like it was worn and might slip. I keep the manual jack in the trailer just in case but I had zero problems with the electric jack and used it dozens of times last summer.
Steve - 02/08/2018by: Mike M.03/17/2017
After a year of use, I am still very pleased with my electric Jack. It moves up and down at a good speed. It handles the 700 lbs of tongue weight of our travel trailer with no struggle. It is relatively attractive compared to some others. The white cover matches the propane bottle cover behind it. My only complaint is I wish the lights were a little brighter. They are better than fumbling with a flashlight in the pitch dark, but just not as bright as I had expected. All in all, I am very pleased and would buy another without any reservation.
by: Daniel 07/09/2021
Love this jack, it makes hooking up the trailer very easy. This is our second one since the first one fell victim to my horse thinking it should be her scratching post.
by: Troy07/05/2018
Well packaged.(bought brand "x" on another site first,arrived broken).Easy installation.Works great.I highly recommend this product.Makes hooking and unhooking much easier.I have bought several products from e.trailer,never disappointed.
Comments
I have used it a lot. Has never missed a beat.
Troy - 07/08/2019by: Cole05/27/2015
Item is well packaged from factory for shipping. Received item quickly from warehouse. Time to install from opening package to lifting the camper was 8 minutes 30 seconds. It took 3 minutes to look at the fuzzy diagram on where the star nuts go when putting the three bolts back into the frame. Be sure to have a 10-12 gauge butt connector or something equal to your application, as no electrical connections are supplies. All in all, I would buy this again and will recommend this to others who might need to have an electrical jack replaced.
by: Carl m07/28/2017
Easy took about 15 mins to install and test . kind of slow but will work fine like it came with a crank in case battery is dead .was shipped very fast
by: Georgia06/20/2019
Put it on my trailer last year, used it twice camping last year and went out for the first time this year and it doesn't work!! Had to use the hand crank!!
Comments
The first step in troubleshooting is to check that the jack is receiving power from the trailer mounted battery, and to check the power connections and the battery ground to the trailer. Youll also want to make sure that the spot where the jack bolts to the trailer tongue isnt corroded, as corrosion will interfere with a good ground connection. The jack is covered by a 2 year warranty, so if the items I mentioned above check out okay, please contact our Customer Service folks at 800-298-8924.

Customer service is class A, quick delivery, and Installation was easy peazee. Took all of 15 minutes. Reused the bolts from the my old hand crank jack, had to crimp on a battery loop type connector , wire came striped an with a fuse connected. So, after a quick crimp I connected it to the positive lead and let it jack up an down. Now, I've read that the jack is slow, well so am I. I'm a 66 years young female, in no rush, and it's way better that me doing the hand crank dance.

- Powered Trailer Jack Recommendation for Best Ground Clearance Under Trailer FrameI wouldn't let the higher capacity of the Lippert Jack part # JET-3555 deter you from using it. Having more capacity than needed for a trailer jack is actually a good thing as it will allow the jack to last longer and operate quicker. It's retracted bracket height is 6-3/4 inches so it would work well for you in that regard plus it's priced great so it really would be your best option.
view full answer... - A-Frame Electric Trailer Jack Won't Run but the Light WorksIf the jack light is working but the motor won't that means that the jack is getting power so we can rule out the fuse/breaker being the problem. It is possible that the battery the jack is connected to has enough power to run the light but not the motor. The battery may need to be charged or replaced. A local auto parts store can test the battery. Another possible cause is a weak ground. The light doesn't need to have the best ground but the motor which draws more amperage does need a...
view full answer... - Ground Clearance Dimensions for the Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame Jack # JET-3555The retracted heights of the Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame Jack, # JET-3555, is 8-1/4 inches from the mounting bracket to the bottom of the outer tube and 9-1/8 inches from the mounting bracket to the bottom of the foot.

- Will the Stromberg Carlson Electric Jack Replace a Jack that has a Triangle Mount FlangeYes, the Stromberg Carlson Electric Jack, # JET-3555, will fit on your trailer's A-frame jack mounting hole. A-Frame jacks are all the same size and have the same bolt-pattern. The manufacturers did this so they could simplify the manufacturing process for both bolt-on and weld-on A-frame jacks. The mounting bolt holes on the Stromberg Carlson jack measure 3 inches from center to center.
view full answer... - Are the Gears on the Stromberg Carlson A--Frame Jack Made of Metal or PlasticI contacted the manufacturer of the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack, # JET-3555, and they told me that the internal gear parts are made of metal and not of a plastic composite material.
view full answer... - Where Should the Power Wire Attach on Stromberg Carlson 3.5K Electric Trailer Jack JET-3555The power wire for Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 24" Lift - 3,500 lbs - White Item # JET-3555 should be connected directly to the positive terminal on a trailer mounted battery. I do not recommend wiring it to the junction box because the 12 volt circuit that could be in that box is the 12 volt coming from the tow vehicle which means that multiple items could already be using it. To avoid any issues I do recommend attaching the power wire directly to a battery.
view full answer... - Can the Powered A-Frame Jack JET-3555 Be Powered by Parallel Trailer BatteriesYour batteries are run in parallel and the Powered A-Frame Jack part # JET-3555 can be wired to them and still allow you to take advantage of the extended battery life of having batteries set up like this. You would just need to run the power wire of the # JET-3555 to the main output power wire of your paralleled battery and since this jack grounds through the mounting hardware you would be good to go once installed.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Strornberg Carlson Powered Jack Not Working with Parallel Trailer BatteriesThe issue you are having is most likely ground related, but what you can do is run a wire from the mounting bracket of the # JET-3555 to the main negative post of your two batteries ran in parallel. As long as your battery ends up delivering 12 volts to the trailer accessories the jack would work just fine. Because of that the issue is has to be a ground. You might check the condition of the fuse in the yellow fuse holder as well.

- Troubleshooting a Electric Jack that will Extend but not RetractIt sounds like the switch in the jack is bad and should be replaced. Typically when an electric jack will go one direction but not the other its because the switch is broken. You might try checking all the fuses on the jack also. Since your trailer is brand new I would imagine there is some kind of warranty that would cover your jack. I would try contacting where you bought the trailer.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting a Stromberg Carlson Trailer Jack # JET-3500 that Was Stuck with Blown FuseWhat is probably occurring on your jack is that it has been extended too far at some point and has become stuck. Trying to move it in either direction draws too much power as the motor tries to push the leg free. This cause the fuse to blow. What many electric jack manufacturers will do is to smash or otherwise distort the end of the screw that turns to move the leg up and down to prevent it from extending to far. If it does end up extending too far the threads will become permanently...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Electric Camper Tongue Trailer Jack that Just Clicks Instead of Raising or LoweringBefore you replace the jack make sure the jack is grounded properly to the frame of your trailer, also check to make sure the main ground of your trailer connector is attached to a clean metal surface. Also check to make sure the 12 volt battery you are using has a good charge as it sounds like the jack isn't able to get enough amperage to operate when under a load. The jack sounds like it's making the same sound a car starter will make when the battery is either dead or the battery terminals...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting a Jammed Electric Trailer JackIt is likely that the interior gears have stripped due to the jack over-extending. Since manually cranking the jack is unsuccessful, you will probably need to replace the jack, as the jack manufacturers will smash or otherwise distort the end of the screw that turns to move the leg up and down to prevent it from over-extending. If it does end up extending too far the threads will become permanently cross-threaded and it will never work right again.
view full answer... - Replacement Jack Recommendation to Replace a Lippert 1300 Powered JackThe Lippert 1300 jack is a now discontinued jack that is very similar to the Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3555 which does not have any internal replaceable parts. The only solution you have would be to replace your current jack with something like the part # JET-3555.
view full answer... - Total Height of the Stromberg Carlson Trailer Jack JET-3500 When Extended Bracket to FootThe lifting height the # JET-3555 is capable of is 18 inches. When the jack is fully retracted it is 10-3/8 from jack foot to bottom of mounting bracket. So when it is fully extended it would be 28-3/8 inches from the jack foot to the bottom of the mounting bracket. Since you need 26 inches this would work well.
view full answer... - Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3500 Recommendation for a 2013 Jayco CamperThe Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3555 that you referenced has a 3,500 lb lifting capacity. That would be more than enough capacity to lift the tongue weight of your 2013 Jayco Camper that weighs a total of 3,500 lbs. The tongue weight on your camper is probably around 350 lbs. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting JET-3500 Jack that Wont Extend/Retract But Light Still WorksSince the jack grounds through the mounting assembly the first thing I would do is check the condition of the main ground of the trailer and for corrosion near the mounting assembly and clean as necessary. Make sure that the vehicle side and trailer side connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. The main connector grounds should be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. An inadequate ground would allow the light to still work but could prevent it from...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting JET-3500 That Stopped WorkingActually the fuse for the # JET-3555 that you would need to check is on the red wire in the fuse holder. If you follow the red power wire, you'll locate the fuse holder which is installed inline on the wire. The jack uses a 30 amp fuse. Check your connections to the trailer mounted battery, to ensure everything's connected correctly. If the jack is powered by the 12-volt accessory circuit from the trailer connector, use a circuit tester on the pin in the 1:00 position in the 7-way connector...
view full answer... - Does the Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3500 Have to Face ForwardYes, you can install the Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3555 that you referenced with the switch side facing any direction. Having the switches be facing backwards or to the side would allow more tail gate clearance.
view full answer... - Can an A-Frame Jack be Rotated on the Trailer for Hatch ClearanceYou can rotate an A-frame jack like the Stomberg Carlson Jack part # JET-3555 that you referenced if needed to allow you to open your rear hatch. The bolt pattern of the jack is allows for mounting of the jack in any orientation.
view full answer... - Why Would a Powered Trailer Jack Only Work When Connected to Tow VehicleThe Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3555 grounds through the mounting bracket of the jack. If your trailer isn't hooked up to your tow vehicle when you are trying to use the jack the problem would be that it isn't grounding properly. If you run the ground of your trailer battery to the trailer frame it should work.
view full answer... - What Do the Two Switches on the Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3500 ControlThere are two switches on the Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-3555 that you referenced. One is for the light and one is for raising and lowering the jack. Check out the review video I attached as well.

- Troubleshooting A-Frame Jack That Has Limited Travel With Electric But Works ManuallyYou said you are able to raise or lower the # JET-3555 with the hand crank so that rules out the gears or the motor being seized. My contact at Stromberg-Carlson told me they think there may be an intermittent problem with the wiring like a ground. Check the ground connection and make sure it is attached securely to a clean bare metal surface and also check for any damaged wire. You can also pull the cover off the jack and inspect the wiring and any other parts to see if you can find...
