Specs:
When you're hitching up before a long day of fishing, or putting away your boat before cleaning your catch, you want to be able to do it with about as much effort as casting a line. But sometimes it can be a real pain in the arm to crank your boat trailer up and down, even when the sun and rain isn't beating down on you.
Trailer Valet was thinking of you when they made this jack. Just slot the included drill attachment into your power drill's 1/2" chuck, remove the handle from the jack's driveshaft, and attach the drill in its place. Squeeze the trigger slowly to avoid too much torque off the bat. This will wind the gears at top speed, lifting or lowering your trailer in no time.
Quick Tip: While your power drill is meant to make operation faster, the higher torque it creates may mean a reduced lift capacity. If you'd rather get more lift capacity out of the jack, we suggest sticking with the included hand crank instead.
Most rust-resistant coatings, like zinc, go on smooth. But this creates one big drawback: smooth finishes are easy to scratch, exposing the bare metal beneath and allowing rust and corrosion to take hold. So, the bright, shiny finish you see on day one might not last as long as you'd like.
Trailer Valet solves this issue by applying a rough powder coat finish on top of the zinc-nickel plated outer tube that's harder to scuff and scratch. Basically, by giving the jack a rougher "terrain," this finish helps keep the jack from aging too quickly.
Not only is this jack weather resistant, but you can safely submerge it in saltwater! It's difficult to see without taking the jack apart, but between the zinc-nickel plated tubes, there is a nylon sleeve that prevents water ingress. Though you'll want to make sure you rinse it off with freshwater after, just for good measure.
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 a tongue 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.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today I'm gonna take a look at this Trailer Valet JXS Side Wind Trailer Jack with the foot plate and the wheel, and also a drill-powered option, has a 1,600 pound lift capacity. Now this utility jack is a manual hand crank jack that'll let you raise and lower your boat or your recreational trailer. It includes this hand crank that just snaps onto the drive shaft and it allows you to turn clockwise to extend out your jack, counterclockwise to retract the jack. What's nice about it is you can remove the crank handle and it can work as a power jack using this drill adapter. Basically, you'll use this with a 20-volt or 24-volt cordless non-impact drill that has either a 3/8th inch or 1/2 inch chuck.
Once you put this into your drill there, you can attach it to the drive shaft and then you can power the jack either out or in. Eliminates the need to have to manually crank it. Now this is a pipe mount jack. It'll bolt around the trailer frame, as you can see, includes all the mounting hardware. And what's nice is when this is installed, you can see this pull pin here.
It is a swivel mount. So you pull out your clip, pull out this pull pin, and it'll allow you to swivel this on the pipe section and let you easily stow the jack parallel to your trailer frame and out of the way. And then when you need to use it, you just again, pull the pin and clip, swing it back down, put the pin and clip in, and then you're ready to jack the trailer up with it. Application, this will fit trailer frames up to 4 and 3/4 inches tall by 3 and 3/4 inches deep. Now when you do install this, it does require about 8 inches of clearance along your frame to install this mounting bracket.
Now we mentioned the foot plate. It is a very large removable foot plate. It'll minimize sinking in soft ground. If you do wanna remove it, you just pull, take the clip out and the foot plate will come out. It does come with this caster wheel with the pin, so you can easily install that if you wanna move your trailer around.
Now, right here in the back has this grease zerk fitting right here for easy maintenance, allows you to attach a grease gun to it pump grease into your gears. So no need to have to remove or re lubricate your gears to supply your grease gun to there and lubricate it. Now this will resist rust and corrosion, even in areas with salt. It has a nice wrinkled black powder coat finish to it, has a 700-hour salt spray rating. The inner and outer tubes are zinc-nickel plated. And this jack is submersible in salt water. A few specs on this, the static capacity using the foot plate is 5,000 pounds. If you remove the foot plate and use the wheel, it drops down to 1,200 pounds. Now that's static capacity, lift capacity, if you use the manual hand crank, it's gonna be 1,600 pounds. And the lift capacity using a power drill is 800 pounds. Now the bracket height, this is your mounting bracket here. So the bracket height, which is measured from the center of the bracket to the ground, when it's retracted like it is right now, is gonna be 11 and 1/2 inches. If we totally extend it out, has a screw travel of 14 inches. Then if we measured the extended height from the center to the ground, it's gonna be 25 and 1/2 inches. The outer tube diameter, it's 2 and 1/4 inches. Inner tube diameter is 2 inches. But that's gonna do it for a look at this Trailer Valet JXS Side Wind Trailer Jack with the foot plate and the wheel and the drill-powered option.
