Powered A-Frame Jack Recommendation for 12,000 lb Trailer
Updated 04/03/2017 | Published 04/02/2017
Question:
I have a 12,000 lb toy hauler what size electric trailer jack would I need?
asked by: Duane
Helpful Expert Reply:
A 12,000 lb bumper pull toy hauler is pretty heavy but we have A-frame jacks that would work well for this application.
I recommend the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000. It has a lifting capacity of 5,000 lbs which would be more than you'd need but will ensure that the jack will operate quickly and last a long time. Your tongue weight will be around 1,200 lbs since tongue weight is typically 10 to 15 percent of the total weight of the trailer.
