Fulton Trailer Jacks On Sale

When buying a trailer jack you need to consider the following factors: tongue weight, height, travel distance, and whether or not you need a wheel on the jack.

The most important factor about a trailer jack is the lift capacity, or the weight rating. Before buying a replacement jack, you need to know how much weight is on the tongue of the trailer. This is different than the total weight of your trailer. Remember that a portion of your trailer load will be behind the axle, which means that that part of the load is actually lifting the tongue (like a lever). You may be tempted to think that you can get a lower-rated Fulton trailer jack because you plan to only use the jack as a stand. If you tell yourself that you will only load the trailer when it is hitched to your towing vehicle, you could be risking a safety issue. What happens when you are driving with a loaded trailer and the trailer tire goes flat? What if you need to drop the trailer and drive away? The Fulton trailer jack needs to be strong enough to lift a loaded trailer off of your hitch.
