This JXC A-frame trailer jack features a manual hand crank, but can also be powered by any 18-volt to 24-volt compact drill when using the included attachment. Great for boat or cargo trailers. Comes with footplate.

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.

I installed the new Trailer Valet JXC Trailer Jack w Footplate and Drill Powered Option - A-Frame - Sidewind - 5K and removed the 1-year-old bulldog jack. The new Sidewind jack gave me room to install a toolbox for tie-downs and straps that will be used to keep the side-by-side secure on the utility trailer. The sidewinder crank also helped with the location of the toolbox. Was able to move the box forward to access the emergency brake battery box in the original location from the trailer manufacturer. With the toolbox in place was able to add a solar panel to keep the emergency brake battery charged. See the pic as to all of the items that were added to the 22ft trailer.

Jack is working working great as it did from day 1. 6 months out of the year that jack is raised and lowered 6 days a week. No complaints yet and dont foresee any either. To follow up on my previous review I havent figured out a way to secure the jack nipple but I have increased the security of the trailer by putting the jack in its lowest position once the coupler lock is installed. Too heavy to pick tongue up by hand and would be cumbersome at best to raise jack leg with a hand tool of some sort and then have to get coupler lock off. Im pretty sure they would move on to and easier target...

I just commented to my wife on our last camping trip how happy I was to make the decision to purchase this style of hitch jack from Etrailer. Works so well using my cordless drill and also manually. Since I pack the cordless drill in our trailer for using it our stablizer pads I always have it. And it actually seems to raise and lower the hitch faster than a standard electric jack. It was a great choice.

One year out? Still love it! Functions beautifully and no rust or deterioration. My trailer is outside year round.

We just returned from a 6 week trip to National Parks. The trailer jack is still working flawlessly. It had been a great addition. Easy to install and works great with my drill.

Over the past year, we have used the camper well over a dozen times and I have yet to use the crank. My 12 cordless dewalt 18V makes quicks work of lowering and raising. I like that with those off, you get some added security to go along with my ball lock. Would certainly buy this in the future should the need arise.

Made it through its first snowmobile season and handled all the midwest WIMI salt like a champ. I keep it greased and it looks and is working great!

It's the perfect jack for you then! Now I must know, how much garlic do you keep onboard your Casita?

You had some good questions and so I reached out to Trailer Valet about greasing the gears. To grease the gears, the gearbox must be opened and grease applied directly. The rod and lift nut will be greased via the grease zerk. It is recommended to grease the jack every three months or so. As for the caster wheels, part # TV89FR will work with these Trailer Valet jacks.
