Can Handle on 2,500 Lb Square Jack - Drop Leg be Reversed

Updated 03/07/2023 | Published 03/04/2023

Question:

I want to purchase and mount the HD25000101 Jack on the inside of my A-Frame trailer tongue. Can the handle be reversed? I have a 16foot x 7foot V-Nose box trailer with two 3500 pound axles, so max trailer weight is 7,000 pounds. It is usually closer to 5,000 pounds fully loaded with my motorcycles. Is the 2,500 pound jack enough or do I need to go to the heavier 5,000 pound? are the handles reversible on either?

The handle on the Square Jack part # MJSQ-2500B which is our version of the Fulton FHD2500/HD25000101 is not reversible. The jack is designed to be mounted on the outside of the frame so any other orientation would affect function. In regards to capacity, the jack has a 2,500 lb rating but this only corresponds to the tongue weight of the trailer. The tongue weight should only be around 10-15% of the trailer's loaded weight. It would be more than capable of handling a trailer your size.
