Drill-Powered Frame-Mounted Jack For 14 Foot Utility Trailer That Gets Used Daily

Published 05/14/2026

Question:

I hook and unhook my 14-foot utility trailer almost every day for work, and I’m just tired of cranking the jack by hand. I don’t need electric, just something quicker. Which one would you put on a basic utility trailer?

Hey Dave! For a standard utility trailer, I’d look at the etrailer Sidewind Trailer Jack - Swivel Bolt - 2K # e35YV. It gives you a 2,000 lb capacity, 14" of travel, and the included 3/4" socket so you can run it with a standard non-impact drill instead of hand cranking every time.

It also swivels up along the frame when you’re towing, which is handy on a work trailer that sees a lot of driveways, jobsites, and uneven ground. The side-mount bracket fits trailer frames 2" to 4" tall, so it covers a lot of utility trailer frames. What size frame is on your trailer, Dave?
