Product Details
Universal SWQ 180 Series Non-Spring Return Direct Weld Jack with Crank by Bulldog®. Shape: Square. Swivel Mount Type: Sidewind. Limited 5 Years Warranty. 12-1/2" Travel, Non-Spring Return, Sidewind, Pin to the Side, 12000 lbs Capacity. Strong, durable, and sturdy, the Bulldog 12000 lb support capacity square jack is the BIG reason why Bulldog has carried the load in agricultural, construction, heavy-duty utility, and horse/livestock trailer industries since 1923. All Bulldog 4" square jacks are rated for 12000 lb support capacity and 10000 lb lift capacity. The strength of the product, plus the wide variety of styles, makes this jack the best choice in its product class. A jack is simply a necessity for the tongue of most trailers, if you ever expect to hitch up or drop your trailer. Don't bark your knuckles or drop your trailer tongue onto the ground trying to make a worn-out or damaged jack work just one more time. Replace it with a new jack.
Installation
Maybe you're lucky, and your trailer has so little tongue weight that you don't need a jack. But for anything bigger than a small utility trailer, you'll need a jack. Even on a small trailer it's handy, just to keep the trailer flat while loading and unloading it. But most trailers need a jack just to get them on and off the hitch ball. Don't put up with a rusty, bent or worn-out jack that fights you every time you need to lift the trailer. Years of abuse and neglect are not kind to the mechanism inside a jack, and a single instance of not lifting the jack back up far enough after hitching up can result in a ground strike that leaves it sprung out of alignment. Replacement will make your day shorter.
If you have a heavy trailer, it can take a lot of time and a lot of muscle to crank the tongue up high enough of clear the hitch ball. Add in a lot of time to retract the jack far enough to clear the ground underway and you can see why a 20speed jack might be worth it. Plenty of mechanical advantage to lift, and faster travel when the foot is not on the ground. Typical gear ratios in these jacks offer a 3:1 ratio, reducing the number of turns or an inch of travel from 29 to only 9. Better yet, a powered jack takes all the effort out of hooking up or spotting a trailer. No more huffing and puffing or getting blisters turning the crank. If you hitch up and drop off regularly, this is a real timesaver.
