This jack's footplate is more stable than that caster wheel and block you're using. Premium zinc finish has a 500-hour salt spray rating - great for trailers near saltwater. Total lift includes a 13-1/2" drop leg. Made in the USA.

The simple truth is that salt can be highly corrosive to metal when exposure lasts for an extended period of time. So, the more you tow around it, the more you need to protect your trailer from it.
The TUFFPLATE finish on this jack helps to ensure that it doesn't end up looking like the one pictured above. TUFFPLATE offers 3 layers of corrosion protection. The first layer is a specially formulated zinc finish. The second layer is chromate. Finally, a sealer puts a third barrier between the jack's gleaming good looks and anything that can contribute to rust, like freshwater or even saltwater exposure.
Rust-resistant coatings are graded according to a salt spray rating. Basically, this rating shows the amount of time it takes for a material to show signs of corrosion when exposed to pure, continuous salt spray. Zinc plating typically begins to deteriorate after about 100 hours. Dacromet usually lasts for around 300 to 400 hours. Dutton-Lainson's TUFFPLATE finish lasted nearly 500 hours in the salt spray test before the first appearance of rust (about 30% longer than a powder coated finish). As for the first appearance of white corrosion, it performed about as well as typical zinc finishes.
The environment this test creates is much harsher than anything you'll ever experience in your journeys, but it provides a testament to how well this jack resists rust and corrosion.
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 having fun.

Product was as described. Things aren't always what you are told they will be, this one was. Hope to have many years of service from it.
Drop leg jack was exactly like discribed.Worked good for my application.
Direct replacement for my original trailer jack and much better quality. Lower price than local offerings as well. Shipped the same day that I ordered. Communication was great. Second time I've ordered from etrailers and both times they've exceeded expectations.

I needed a new jack for my trailer. Sent an email to etrailer.com. They got back to me, recommended a jack that would have the range of lift I needed based on my input. The jack was at my door two days after I ordered it. I installed the jack with the parts they sent in about 10 minutes. Works smoothly, has a nice finish, mounting has some range to it so it works for a lot of different applications, there is a grease fitting to make it easy to keep it in working condition. This will do exactly what I needed.
The sub-standard trailer jacks with a wheel that come with all trailers are junk. They are good for two years before they just won't crank. Their limited adjustment required me to take bottle jacks and blocks of wood to hitch and un-hitch! I highly recommend this product because of it's huge adjustability range, and who needs a wheel on the jack of any boat that weighs more than 3000 lbs! , actually could be hazardous.
Get it , you won't regret it!
Yes for anyone looking to replace that old jack this thing rocks.I have a 24 foot cabin cruiser and needed the heavy duty jack with the 23" of lift and this unit fits 100% very smooth and I like the fact that there is not a wheel on it way safer.The install is also way easy.I would highly recommend this for anything with in the 2500# rating .
This review is more for etrailer than the product. I highly recommend etrailer. They were very professional & kind. Product was received sooner than they said. All good things. I installed the trailer jack today and it seems like a good quality piece. It's easy to wind and with the drop leg, it extends high enough for the hitch on my truck. Thank you guys for the great service!
Very happy with my new trailer jack. This is a trailer my dad and I built in 1997. I use it to mainly haul seed for my job. It also gets used for recreation and other stuff. It had a jack with a wheel and was also too short, which meant I had to use a block and lots of wheel chocks. Should have done awhile ago, but never found a suitable jack in stores. I bolted to frame instead of using u-bolts using 6 grade 8 bolts.
Great service and quick delivery. Replace my trailer jack last year, and this new one works flawlessly. It's strong and have used it well over 50 times without any issues.
Excellent product - fast delivery. Loved how the video showed a person handling and measuring the product, but what I really wanted to see was what hardware was included and an install demonstration. Either way, the jack works great. I used two of them on my toy hauling pop-up to support the weight of my side-by-side and act as stabilizer jacks.
Does a great job on my boat trailer. Easy to install.
For Sure it is heavy duty, perfect for my boat trailer
This is probably the best buy on the market today for a trailer jack! This jack arrived packed very well with all the hardware needed to install it. it installed on my car trailer in less than an hour in my driveway. It is very well built and thanks to Rose at the order desk I received excellent help in choosing the correct jack for my trailer. If you are buying from someone else, you probably won't get the same quality for your money. Thanks etrailer.com you have me as a lifetime customer.

he best money I have ever spent for a product. I love the customer service and fast response with shipping...quality product that wont break when you need them!....lifetime customer here! Thanks E-Trailor!
I have a short shaft on my trailer that could not utilize a conventional trailer jack. The drop leg jack is built well and does the job! I received the jack several days after I ordered it, which was great.

Great! Well constructed. I have a short shaft on my home made trailer and could not use a conventional trailer jack. This was a great option and it has held up very good. Great product and worth the money!
One of the best investments I've ever made. Looks & works perfect on my aluma cargo trailer. Had it installed in 15 minutes.

The jack is solid and was very easy to install. It has a grease fitting for future lubrication when needed. The lift was as described in terms of height. All in all this is a very solid Jack which you will enjoy.

The jack continues to perform flawlessly
Good heavy jack, easy bolt on mount. Nice leg extension to shorten the cranking to lift the trailer.

Still the same. Its working great.
I purchased this to replace a vintage (think rusty, sticky and generally obstinate) jack. The ordering process was easy, communication from the vendor was excellent and the shipping was fast. Installation took all of about 5 minutes after the rustyjackectomy was performed. The drop leg part of the jack has saved me from carrying around the vintage accessory that came with the jack, a cinderblock to put under the non-functioning wheel at the end of the rustystickobstinate jack. Freedom! There is a smallish foot on the new jack which provides adequate stability and resistance to sinking on soft ground, something that we have lots of here in the Pacific NW. Additionally, this new jack sports a zerk fitting which may help stave off the rustystickyobstinate syndrome that afflicted the original. All in all, this represents a significant improvement to my trailer jacking activities.
This jack was a replacement for a deteriorating jack on my v nose snowmobile trailer. The salt and weather were taking it's toll and the fixed jack was mounted somewhat too low so it occasionally would bottom out on transitions from the road to parking lots. This jack when mounted to my tongue is higher and the drop leg feature still lets me jack it high enought to remove from my truck. Hopefully the Nickel plating will give me a longer service life than the previous painted version that was on my trailer originally. I also like the fact that this jack has a grease fitting to be able to lubricate the internals. Nice jack so far.
The jack is great ! Heavy duty and very rugged. The only thing that may be improved is the mounting bar used on the back side of the trailer channel. It needs to be a bit "beefier". My bar bent slightly when I tightened the retaining bolts.
Perfect answer to tipping up my boat trailer enough to get bilge to drain.
Used to have to use a cinder block + 2 pieces of wood, crank up the wheel jack (that came on the trailer), put wood under tongue, crank down wheel jack, put in cinder block on its side under wheel, crank up wheel jack, put 2nd (longer) piece of wood under tongue, crank down wheel jack, put cinder block under wheel on it's end (not the most stable arrangement), crank up wheel jack.... it really kinda sucked!!!
Now, I use the wheel jack (that came on the trailer) to detach from tow vehicle and crank it up all the way, Then on the Drop Leg Jack, pull & reposition the pin on drop leg so leg extends fully (2 seconds), and crank up the Drop Leg Jack all the way, done!
I purchased this jack a year ago for use on a 4 place snowmobile trailer that moves around the salty winter roads of the northeast. Great jack, no rust, powerful jack, smart purchase.
