Question:

Hello, For the ratcheting trailer tongue jack, ORJW1SU, is there a way to make it connect to the trailer or a bracket with a quick release? Basically, the total stowed length at 28inch is too long for my tongue on my trailer due to the tongue box. However, if I could easily take the ratcheting jack on and off I only need it for when I get it up into my garage which is on an angle that would be ideal. Any suggestions other then bolting and unbolting it with a wrench every time? Thanks.

My recommendation would be to use the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover # STC-V211. This jacks mounting plate can stay on your trailer frame and the jack can be easily removed with its pipe style mount. You will also be able to move the trailer much faster than with the Extreme Off-Road Ratcheting Trailer Jack w/ Wheel # ORJW1SU.

The included Drill Attachment will allow you to use an 18 volt cordless drill to move the trailer rather than using the hand crank.
