Video Transcript for Review of etrailer Trailer Jack - Square Direct Weld Jack - e32ZV

Hi everyone. Steven here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at this square direct well jack with footplate and included drop leg using a side wide handle with a capacity lift of 5,000 pounds. Now folks, this is a utility jack. It's gonna let you rise and lower your trailer. It's ideal for agriculture and commercial applications alike.

It's a square jack, it's a two and a quarter by two and a quarter inch square tubing on the outside. The inner tubing here is two inch by two inch and the side wind makes it a lot easier, in my opinion, to go up and down, not hit your hand on the trailer and the other stuff while you're going up or down. Now the drop leg here is gonna give you increased drop capability. So what do I mean by a drop leg Pull the pin out. Literally this leg can go all the way out if I allow it to.

But the theory is, or the concept rather, it's not a theory, this is gonna come down before you start cranking. You go as low as you can and let's say I was hitting the ground, then you'd have to raise it up to the next hole and then you're only cranking down a little bit. So I'm gonna go ahead and leave this off, just so I can give you some quick dimensions. And so you can see you've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 holes here. And then obviously the pin goes through 'em.

As far as adjustment, when I measured center to center on these holes, I was getting right about three and three eighth inches on center between these holes, except for these two right here. So here to here, three and three eighths, here to here, three and three eighths, here to here, three and three eighths. But here to here was three and a half. And so just keep that in mind as far as that measurement if it matters to you. But the main part is you've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 holes here for adjustments.

So, and again, that just simply goes inside the jack tube. And if I want to go this high, let's say, I put the pin in there, keep cranking until I reach my desired height. And in reverse, once I got the pressure off of it, I could just push the leg back inside to limit how much I have to crank on this to get it to go up or down faster. And that just means the pulling the jack faster saves you time, energy and whatnot. Now it's a side crank candle, as I said, the handle here spins as a crank, you get a grease zerk right here, that's gonna be for maintenance. You always wanna make sure you're lubricating the gears inside of the jack to keep everything operating correctly. As far as some dimensions on the flip plate, I got right exactly seven inches on the length. And then overall, I got four inches on a width. So seven long by four inches wide. Lift capacity is 5,000 pounds. Whenever it's fully retracted, I got 24 and five eighth inches fully retracted. And then whenever I cranked this up earlier and got a measurement, fully extended, I got 39 and seven eighth inches. Now that being said, you may have an eighth of inches difference if you measure 'em at home or wherever, just because the tolerances in the metal and how far that screw actually travels compared to the next one, next to it or something. So again, eighth of an inch isn't a big deal, but just keep that in mind whenever you're measuring yours if you're worried about those kind of things. Now as far as mounting this, as I said before when we started, it's a direct weld jack, meaning you have to weld this onto your trailer. There's no brackets to bolt it on or anything like that. You weld it in place. I recommend if you're not a welder, get it done by a certified welder to be sure it's safe and correctly. The outside tube here, as you see, is black powder-coated and it has a zinc finish on the inner tube itself in the foot plate, and that's gonna stop that corrosion and those kind of things as well. Well folks, that's gonna wrap it up for our look together today at this square jack, and again, a direct weld-on jack with footplate. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
