Question:

Need a swivel trailer jack with a wheel either 100 lb. or less weight, as it is just for a small utility trailer, but it must have a retracted height of 10. Most every jack I see has a retracted height of 12inch to 13inch and this is too high for my application as it must be no more than 10inch retracted height. Can you help me with this ? Thanks

Expert Reply:

I was able to find a swivel jack option for you that has a retracted height of 11 inches from the bottom of the wheel to the center of the mounting bracket, but none of the trailer jacks with a caster that we offer have a retracted height of 10 inches or less.

The jack that may work best for you is the Fulton F2 Trailer Jack, like # F1413040134. This jack has an adjustable mounting bracket with the lowest retracted height being 11 inches. The lift height of the jack is 10 inches, and the capacity of the jack is 1,600 pounds.

The Round Swivel Marine Jack with Wheel # MJ-1200B has a retracted height of 12-1/2 inches with a capacity of 1,200 pounds and was the next shortest retracted height I could find for you.
