Is There An Advantage in Using a Larger Extreme Off-Road Swing-Up Jack with Dual Wheels

Question

Question:

Hello, I am considering one of the Ark jacks with dual wheels , either the 500 or the 350 ? My small sailboat falls into the smaller Jack specs, is there an advantage to moving a step up ? I have a 21 ‘ sailboat at 900 lbs and I believe a 600 lb trailer . Thank you

The advantage of the Extreme Off-Road Swing-Up Jack with Dual Wheels - Zinc # ORJW500D is getting that higher 1,100 lb capacity and the bigger 10-3/4" lift. This is great for longevity purposes, especially if you'd like to move the jack to any future upgrades further down the road.

If the Extreme Off-Road Swing-Up Trailer Jack with Dual Wheels - Zinc # ORJW350D with the 770 lb capacity and smaller 7" lift works for your situation and you don't think you'll be upgrading that boat and trailer combination anywhere in the foreseeable future then the smaller setup will be great.

Torsion axles can have different spindles with varying geometry. The specific spindle installed will have a specific range of deflection angle. The spindles on torsion axles can deflect as much as 4-inches between the unloaded and loaded conditions.…
