Question:
Hi there, I have a horizon HZ5 dump trailer. I wanted to see if you have an electric trailer jack that could work for a dump trailer. Thank you!

Hey Nick,
With the GVWR of your Horizon HZ5 being over 7K we don't really have a good a-frame jack capable of handling the weight but you could mount a hydraulic jack with a motor like the Self-Contained Hydraulic Jack # e33VV. It has a 12,000lb capacity so it's more than capable of handling the loads you'll put in the trailer and comes with a corded remote control to activate the motor. It has a bolt on design so you'd be able to mount it to the center beam of the frame.

Hey Nick, how did things go with the hydraulic jack on your Horizon HZ5 dump trailer? That setup sounded like a solid match for the weight you’re working with. Your update could make it easier for others with heavy dump trailers to choose the right jack.
