Hey Robert! The handle on the Square Trailer Jack # TJD-12000SP-R2 is durable, and I expect it to last the life of the jack. It's a pretty standard crank handle design, although I agree it looks a little odd hanging down the side in the photos.

What kind of trailer are you working on?

@RobertL the # TJD-12000SP-R2 has the 12,000 lb capacity you're looking for, but it's a sidewind jack rather than a topwind. Unfortunately, I don't have a 4" square topwind jack in that capacity range to recommend right now, they all top out at 7,000 lbs.
