Swivel Jack Recommendation for a Bot Trailer with a 3000 lb to 5000 lb Weight Capacity

Updated 04/17/2013 | Published 04/14/2013

Question:

Im very interested inthis jack PS1401020303. Do you have anything just like this at 3000 to 5000? I have a Crownline deck boat 220. I have had two bulldog jacks and they both only lasted a few years. They are junk! I have to have a side mount and smaller base size.I have never tried the top mount.I think it would get in the way.

We have a number of jacks that fall within the 3,000 lb to 5,000 lb capacities, however, the only jack that we carry that is similar to the Pro Series, Snap-Ring Swivel Jack, # PS1401020303, is the Bulldog Round, Snap-Ring Swivel Jack, # BD171401. This jack has a 10 inch lift and a 5,000 lb weight capacity.

If you did not want to go with the Bulldog jack, we offer pipe-mount jacks like the Pro Series Round, Pipe-Mount Swivel Jack, # PS1401420303. The inner pipe mount of this jack must be welded to the side of your trailer frame. This jack also has a 10 inch lift and a 5,000 lb weight capacity.

I have attached a link to all of the jacks that we offer in the weight capacity you need for you to check out. Keep in mind, the jack only needs to support the tongue weight of the trailer, not the entire weight of the trailer or boat. If the tongue weight of your trailer is less than 2,000 lbs, then you could use the Pro Series, Snap-Ring Swivel Jack, # PS1401020303, that you referenced.
