I have 22’ enclosed trailer,have a 7500# electric jack on it now but it really strains with it. I know the tongue weight can’t be more than 1500 or 2000#, would this jack handle it ok? Thanks Lowell

This hydraulic jack has a 8,000 lbs lift and support capacity so it will be a solid and immediately noticeable upgrade over your current 7,500 lbs electric jack.
