Question:

Hi, Im interested in purchasing a trailer jack for our mobile pizza oven and trailer which weighs roughly 10,000lbs and has an A-frame tongue. Do you have any options that are not weld-on for that size and weight?

A trailer jack only lifts part of the weight of the trailer and not the whole 10,000 pounds of your trailer. A 10K trailer would have a tongue weight of around 1,000 to 1,500 pounds. But the higher the capacity of the jack the easier it is for the jack to lift the weight and the longer it will last.

A jack rated for 5,000 pounds such as # TJA-5000S-B is an option. You could add foot # JF-99 as well. I have linked a video review of the jack for you.

If you'd prefer an electric jack then the Ultra-Fab Phoenix # UF38-944055 is a great option. I have linked a video of this jack as well.

If you are looking for something that you can mount at the rear corners of the trailer that can be bolted around the frame we have # HD50000101. The jack is rated for 5,000 pounds so one at each rear corner plus the jack at the front will support the trailer weight. I have linked a video of this jack as well.
