Electric Jack Recommendation for Car Hauler Hauling 3,400 lb Car

Published 09/22/2016

Question:

I have a 24 ft enclosed car trailer. I haul a 3400 lb mustang and about 1000 lbs of other stuff. Im tired of cranking the jack it makes me cranky. How much lift capacity should I go for? My feeling is bigger is better.

Cranking jacks is one of the lead causes of crankiness so I can sympathize with you there! The Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000 that you referenced has a 5,000 lb lifting strength and would make easy work of your trailer.

The bigger the better is the right mindset as having an overkill jack allows it to work faster and last longer since it won't be straining.
