Replacement Jack Recommendation for my 2000 Ranger R83 Ranger Trail Single Axle Trailer

Updated 08/03/2020 | Published 07/30/2020

Question:

I have a 2000 Ranger R83 on a single axle Ranger Trail trailer that has a welded plate that the trailer jack attaches to. The wheel wont swivel easily and Im looking to replace it with a sturdier, easier rolling, swiveling and it would be nice if it jacked the trailer up higher too trailer jack that will bolt onto the existing mounting plate. Do you sell a trailer jack that will meet my requirements and if so please let me know which jack that is. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I believe you are looking for the square mounting plate in that year and the Fulton Bolt-Thru Swivel Marine Jack w/ Caster part # FXP10 will attach to it directly. It is a 10" lift model so no skyscraper but this is common on marine jacks because of the swiveling design giving an automatic drop when rotated down.

If for some reason your trailer has been switched to the snap ring attachment type the Fulton Round Snap-Ring Swivel Marine Jack part # FTJ120W0301 is the way to go. Same lift just a different attachment method.

I have linked videos on each of these below for you to check out.
