Whether you need a trailer to haul a boat, vehicle, ATV, furniture, lawn equipment or any other heavy items, chances are you need Trailer Jacks in North Dakota. If you own an RV or a livestock trailer, you would use a trailer jack. A trailer jack keeps the trailer stable during loading and unloading. They keep your RV or livestock trailer stable and level. When your RV is level, it helps your appliances operate more efficiently.
Depending on the type of trailer jack you select, it can support up to 10,000 pounds. Scissor jacks are used underneath a camper front and back to level and stabilize the RV. Telescoping jacks work in the same way. They limit your camper’s movement as you move about the interior. Tongue jacks, both manual and automatic, lifts and lowers your trailer onto your ball hitch. Manual jacks are raised and lowered using a hand crank whereas automatic jacks lift with the touch of a button.
Once lifted off your ball hitch, your tongue jack provides extra stabilization to your trailer or RV. Swing-back trailer jacks are typically used on boat or utility trailers. They have a wheel on the foot of the jack to make it easy to move the trailer once removed from the hitch. You can use a tripod stabilizer jack on the tongue of a 5th wheel RV to provide front-to-back and side-to-side support. They feature a hitch cup and large foot pads which deter tilting or sinking.
Accessories for your jacks are important to help you use them properly. Stick-up or screw-on levels attached in easy view help you make sure you have leveled your trailer properly. Leveling blocks can be used under your tongue and scissor jacks for greater lift. Place them under your wheels when you are on uneven ground for easy leveling. Stable step jacks placed under your fold out RV steps add extra safety when entering your camper.
