Swivel Mount Trailer Jack for 6 Inch Tall Trailer Frame

Question

Question:

Thanks! All I really need is a third wheel to move around my 16x8ft concession trailers once a year for inspection. I’m not looking for anything that needs to be welded as I want to be able to use it for all 5 trailers. Additionally, I already have the attached jack on the hitch, so I don’t really need that. And I’m ideally not looking for a dolly as I ruined multiple and they tend to bend, flip, etc. What’s my best option? Perhaps just a caster wheel? Do you offer a heavy duty, double one? Desperate, please help!

The only bolt-on swivel jack we have that works with 6" tall trailer frames is the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover part # STC-V211. The Trailer Valet has a 500 lb tongue weight capacity and works with frame rails up to 2-3/4" wide x 6" tall. In addition to featuring a bolt on tongue jack, the Trailer Valet as the name states doubles as a trailer dolly which will easily allow one person to move their trailer around. The dolly has integrated brakes which keep it from rolling. I have attached a review video of this dolly/jack for you as well.

Since you have a 6" tall trailer frame, the most cost effective solution would be to use a pipe mount jack like the Square Pipe Mount Swivel Jack w Footplate part # TJDP-7000S-B. This jack uses a circular pipe which will need to be welded to their trailer frame. This jack has a much larger support and lift capacity of 8,000 lbs and 7,000 lbs respectively. It also has a drop leg feature which minimizes the number of rotations on the handle that will be needed to lift the jack. I have also attached a review video of this jack.

With that being said I believe the Rack'Em Trailer Dolly part # RA20 will be your best option. This is really going to be the only other option we have for you to move your trailer around. I do not recommend installing a castor wheel as they are not really designed for this purpose. The above dolly comes with a 1-7/8" hitch ball. I understand you are not looking for a dolly but due to the size of your trailer frame, your options are very limited.

There are a few solutions for your tailgate to clear the jack on your trailer. I recommend to use a longer ball mount like #D-26, that would move the trailer back further away from the truck and give you clearance you need. If you know what size the…

There is no weight rating for the Mounting Bracket, part #TV-0002. It is designed to replace the bracket for the Trailer Valet Trailer Jack, part #STC-V211. The Trailer valet has a weight capacity of 500 lbs. You may be able to install a different…

No, but I have one that will! Since your caravan weighs 5,000 lbs the Ark Xtreme item #ORJW1SU is going to be way under capacity. Instead you'll want to use the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover item #STC-V211. This jack attaches in…

Hey Jacob, a 4,500 lb trailer is probably going to be too heavy for a person to pull around with the Trailer Valet Dolly part #TV73FR that you referenced. The dolly would be fine but even on perfectly flat pavement a single person would struggle and…

Hey Michael, the Parkit360 Force Electric Trailer Dolly #PA96VR weighs 140 lbs. That's a pretty heavy weight to have to lift but just rolling it around wouldn't be too bad. What kind of trailer are you planning on using it to move?

Answer 11

I have attached two diagrams below with the dimensions for the XO350 and XO750. Both of these use a bolt on installation so you really only need to know the height of your tongue to see if it is compatible. The #ORJW350D fits 2" to 6" tall…
