Question:

Thanks for the fast response and information. Do they make anything similar to the Stallion Stabilizer Jack that can support up to 5,000lbs. Sometimes I have forklift drive on trailer for loading and unloading and I would like something a little more sturdy to support trailer from tipping.

From your description, it sounds like you need a stabilizer jack like the Stallion Stabilizer Jacks - 7" Drop Leg Travel - 22-1/4" - Qty 2 # 288-01892-2. These jacks are able to be out of the way when not needed and then add 1000 lb capacity support when needed and up to 650 lbs of lift. This will give you the support and stability you desire for loading and unloading.

If you need more support then I recommend the Ultra-Fab Ultra Scissor Jacks - 30" Lift - 6,500 lbs - Qty 2 # UF48-979031. These can be either manually adjusted with the hand crank or you can use the Ultra-Fab Speed Socket Power Drill Adapter for Scissor Jacks # UF48-979005.

Unfortunately there is nothing that style with a capacity that is any higher than the 1,000 lb capacity of the Stallion Jack. I recommend going with the Ultra-Fab Scissor Jack since you will have that kind of weight on your trailer. Fork lifts can shift that weight really quickly and the extra support will be a huge asset.
