Recommended Swing-Up Trailer Jack for Essex Vortex Trailer

Question:

Hello, I was looking to get a Fulton swivel jack but Im not sure which one to get. I have a 22 Essex Vortex , all loaded up and on the trailer it probably weighs about 5,000 lbs or so. Can you guide me to the right product? I can send you a picture of my current setup if that helps.

The Fulton F2 Swing-Up Trailer Jack part # F1413130334 is my recommendation for a swing-up trailer jack. This jack has a 1,600 lb weight capacity, dual wheel setup for easy maneuvering, and an ergonomic handle for easy up and down. In regards to weight capacity, the jack only needs to be rated for the tongue weight of the trailer so if the trailer weighs 5,000 lbs it would only have a tongue weight around 500 lbs. It has a lifetime warranty as well.

Please note, the Fulton F2 Swing-Up Trailer Jack only fits frames up to 5" tall. If you have an existing bracket, you can either remove this or attach the jack beside it.
