Utility Trailer Jack: Simple Strength for Everyday Hauling
For light-duty trailers, efficiency and reliability matter more than power.
A well-built utility trailer jack keeps your trailer stable when loading, parking, or disconnecting — ensuring smooth operation with minimal effort.
Zhongteli, a professional trailer component manufacturer, produces utility trailer jacks that combine forged durability, easy cranking, and long-term corrosion protection, ideal for everyday transport and small-scale logistics.
Why Utility Trailers Need the Right Jack
Utility trailers face frequent short-distance use — coupling and uncoupling multiple times a day.
That means operators need a jack that’s lightweight, quick to deploy, and resistant to weather.
Key Design Requirements:
-
Compact Construction: Saves space while offering stability.
-
Forged Steel Shaft: Provides strength without excess weight.
-
Smooth Gear Drive: Enables effortless cranking by one person.
-
Zinc or Epoxy Coating: Resists corrosion and road debris.
-
Replaceable Footplate or Wheel: Improves maneuverability and balance.
According to SAE International specifications, light-duty lifting systems must ensure a consistent torque ratio to avoid operator fatigue and thread wear.
