Swivel Jack for Triple Axle Boat Trailer That Rolls on Gravel

Updated 09/06/2023 | Published 09/04/2023

Question:

Hello. I have a new boat and its on a triple axle trailer. The tongue weight approximately 1500 pounds is 140 pounds too heavy for my tractor to lift so I am looking for a swing up, bolt on, trailer wheel jack heavy duty that will bolt onto a 6 trailer frame tongue... It also needs to roll on gravel because I have a gravel driveway leading up to my shop. My plan is if I can get a retractable wheel on the trailer, I can then use the tractor to back the trailer into my shop... Thank you!

The best option that covers all of your needs is the Removable Xtreme Off-Road Swing-Up Trailer Jack # ARK57FR. This will fit your 6" frame and has a bolt-on installation. It uses dual steel wheels with off-road rubber tires so gravel won't be a problem.

The jack has a 1,650 lb static load capacity and 1,100 lb dynamic load capacity. This does mean your tractor will need to handle at least 400 lb of the tongue weight when you move it. Considering the fact you're saying the tractor can handle 1,360 lbs of tongue weight I don't expect that to be an issue.
