Today we'll be taking a look at the Square Direct Weld Jack with Footplate. This jack is going to help us lift and lower our trailer, so that we can get it supported and leveled off whenever we need to go and hook up to our vehicle again. It's made of a durable construction. Our top piece, the handle, the inner tube and our footplate all have a zinc coating to help resist any kind of rust or corrosion. The footplate is welded in place, so it's going to be nice and secure and that's going to give us some additional lift with this jack since we'll have five different adjustment points and those are each about three and a half inches apart. To adjust those you'll just pull the clip on the one side here, pull out that pin and then that drop leg will adjust down.Let me get my pin put back in and then we'll go over some measurements for the jack.

There we go. Okay. So over . The total height for our jack whenever it's fully retracted is 25 and an eighth inches. And that's from the bottom of that footplate to the top of the jack.

When it's fully extended, it's going to be 40 and a quarter inches. So our total lift will be 28 and seven eighths inches. The screw travels, so the screw inside, that's going to give us 15 and an eighth inches of that lift, and then the rest of that comes from the drop leg and that's going to give us 13 and three quarters inches of lift.The capacity that this can actually lift is 7,000 pounds and it has a support capacity of 8,000 pounds. The outer tube measures two and a quarter inches wide. The inner tube measures two inches.

Our footplate from edge to edge measures seven and seven eighths by five and seven eighths inches. So it's going to help to spread out the weight of our trailer and help to keep us from sinking into any kind of soft ground like sand, gravel or loose dirt. As far as the swing on our handle, it has a radius of seven and three quarters inches. That's from the attachment point there to the center of the handle, so that's how big the swing is on the one side.And then our handle is about .. This moved out here.

It's about three and three quarters inches wide, so it gives you enough space to get your hand on there and get a good grip. The distance from the jack to the outer edge of that handle, just to let you know how much space you have there, it's about five and a half inches or about five and five eighths. It does have a grease Zerk installed there, so you can make some easy maintenance or do some easy maintenance with your jack to keep everything nice and lubricated and moving smoothly. Overall, it's going to be a great jack for your application. It is a weld on design. And that's going to do it for our look at the Square Direct Weld Jack with Footplate.
