Video Transcript for Review of etrailer Trailer Jack - Hydraulic A-Frame Trailer Jack Kit - e83QV

Hi, everyone, Steve here with etrailer. Today, we're taking a look at the etrailer Hydraulic A-Frame Trailer Jack Kit. Now, folks, this is a round tube design, it's a bolt-on application, rated for 7,000 pounds lift capacity. Now, if you're not familiar with hydraulic, these are really quiet, they're really smooth. And the hydraulic power will raise the trailer for you, so you're not working with a manual hand crank under load jack that sometimes can be just tiresome and unsafe in some cases. So you are gonna get all the hoses, the fittings, and the hydraulic diverter here as well.

Now, this system is basically an add-on, so this works with your already existing external pump on your trailer, and this will connect to that pump with all the materials and fittings that are here. You have a nice seven inch by seven inch foot plate here. And then, of course, the hydraulic fluid is gonna be traveling up this main pipe. And then, of course, you have your standard flange here for connecting this on the A-frame. And then, you have some different screws here if you need to drain fluid for some reason or whatnot, maintenance, those kinda things.

So a very nice, heavy-duty, sturdy design. As far as the retracted height, like we're looking at right now, 27 1/2 inches tall, and you have 20 inches of travel. So 27 plus 20, 47 1/2, right So 47 1/2 extended will be the height of this overall. But the main part is here, again, you're getting 20 inches of extension. So 7,000 pound capacity, it's built for those lighter utility commercial trailers that don't exceed that 7,000 pound of lift.

And again, everything here is a simple bolt-on installation. Now, there is no mounting bolts included, you can purchase them separately. Most likely, you probably have your old ones you could potentially use again if you so choose. And again, folks, all the fittings and everything are included. These blue caps are just put in here for safety to keep grime, dirt, bugs, whatnot out of these hoses.

So even though these are capped, I always recommend people just kinda verify that they're empty, maybe blow some air through them before you connect them and those kind of things, just so you're not getting any kinda gunk or chance of any debris in your hydraulic lines. Folks, that's gonna wrap up our quick look together at this etrailer Hydraulic A-Frame Trailer Jack Kit. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
