Will 12 Ton Bottle Jack Work For Keystone 5th Wheel Offroad?
Updated 11/03/2025 | Published 10/30/2025
Question:
Would this 12-ton version be overkill for a Keystone fifth wheel off road, or is it worth the extra muscle? It weighs like half of this capacity.

That’s a great question, Alvin. Even though your fifth wheel won’t come close to 12 tons total, the Tallboy # PM94FR gives you a generous safety margin and smoother control when you’re lowering heavy loads. The oversized 9-7/16 inch base plate spreads the weight out so it stays planted even on gravel or asphalt. It’s a solid investment if you service your trailer yourself or travel off-pavement - never know when you could have a blowout or need to replace hubs/bearings (knock on wood).
Are you planning to use it mainly for tire changes or maintenance at home? That’ll help confirm if this or the 6-ton model makes more sense for your setup.

Mostly tire changes and the occasional bearing service when we’re out west. We do a lot of boondocking, so I need something that won’t sink in the dirt.
