Question:
I purchased a jack from you guys in the past and I was absolutely satisfied. I am now in need of another. I have a 27 foot utility black trailer, in which I will be caring ATVs, you Utv’s and side-by-side. I need help/suggestions on which electric jack I should use for this type of trailer and weigth.

Expert Reply:
If you already have a battery on your utility trailer and you really like how the etrailer Electric Jack w/ Footplate # EJ-3520-BBX performs (thank you by the way) then I recommend just going that another one. Since it has a lift capacity of 3,500 lbs you will have more than enough power to get the job done.
If you don't already have a battery on your utility trailer then I recommend using the Trailer Valet JXC instead. This comes in a 2K # TV54FR and 5K # TV94FR version for an A-Frame as well as a 5K Side Mount Version # TV64FR.
The great thing about these jacks is that they come with a manual hand crank, but they can also be operated electronically with a power drill. The power drill operation is much faster than any electric trailer jack operation and it means that you don't have to mess with routing wires and trying to keep a trailer battery charged up.
I have attached some videos for you to check out.
