Choosing a Quality Trailer Jack

While choosing a trailer jack may seem to be a daunting task to some, it is worth the peace of mind to choose a safe and high-quality trailer jack. Bulldog Trailer Parts have been the go-to brand for those seeking a superior trailer jack, whether it be for a horse trailer, general utility, cargo, heavy equipment hauler or any other application where a jack is needed. Bulldog Trailer Parts are known for their long-lasting quality, toughness, and reliability. While these jacks get very specific to the needs and preference of the customer, it is well worth the extra time to get the quality of Bulldog trailer jacks.

With the Bulldog brand offering so many options, how do you know where to start? You must first determine the weight-rating of the trailer. After this is determined, you may start browsing jacks by selecting either a round or square tube.

Round Tube Route

Round jacks are ideal for lighter loads. Within the round tube category, Bulldog offers over 50 different bumper-pull options that support between 2,000lbs and 7,000lbs. After you determine to go through the round tube route, you must choose between an a-frame jack or swivel jack. This narrows your mounting options to either a direct-weld or bracket-mount which is welded directly to the trailer, coupler, or chassis, and provides rigid and stable support, or a swivel-mount, which allows the jack to be raised and stowed out of the way while towing.

Square Tube Route
With the square tube option, Bulldog offers over 30 different bumper-pull options that support between 5,000lbs and 10,000lbs! Unlike round tube jacks, square tubes are used to support heavier weights. Besides the bumper-pull category, Bulldog offers a trailer "drog leg" jack category, which is also referred to as landing gear. Bulldog is one of the few brands that produce powered jacks and electric motors to retro-fit drop legs to help ease lowering and raising.
