Replacement Electric A-Frame Jack with Protection from Over-Extension

Question

Question:

I have a Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack, Ultra 3502, Model Number 38-944017, Serial Number 16-005982. The travel trailer and jack is 2 months old. I need to replace it due to over extension. Do you carry a new electric jack ?

We do offer better jacks that have built-in protection from over-extension.

I think the best value for an A-frame tongue jack is the Stromberg Carlson # SC63VR which is rated for 4500 pounds of tongue weight. This is 1000 pounds more than other models, and even though you may not need this much capacity, you will find that the jack motor runs quick and effortlessly. This will add years to its life. This jack also has a unique clutch that prevents damage from overextending or retracting the jack foot - the most common reason for jack failure. I also like that is has a generous 23" lift, including a time-saving drop-foot. It includes LED lights for operating the hitch in the dark, and a built-in bullseye leveling bubble.

This is a great question that there isn't exactly a great answer for. Hitch extenders not only put the weight further away from the hitch which would increase the leverage on the hitch, but they also add movement to the assembly which will…

Hello Wayne. A 3,500 lb jack is going to be more than enough for your 5,000 lb trailer. The 3,500 lb rating is for the tongue weight of the trailer and not the total weight of the trailer. Your tongue weight should be more like 500-700 lbs max so you…
