2x Trailer Caravan Canopy Jack Stand 2267kg/ 5000lbs Heavy Duty Weld Bracket

Uncoupling a loaded van on gravel is where a light jack shows itself — the foot digs in, the drawbar creeps down, and the wheels get chocked in a hurry. These two side-wind jacks carry a foot plate welded straight to the bottom of the leg, so the load spreads across the ground instead of punching into it.

What the 5,000 lb figure covers

The supplier lists load capacity as 5,000 lb / 2,267 kg. Read that carefully before you buy: the description applies the figure to a single jack, the pack contains two, and no combined rating for the pair is given anywhere in the supplied information. Treat 2,267 kg as the per-jack number, do not add the two together, and check it against the load the drawbar or corner actually carries rather than the trailer's ATM. Where that load is unknown, weigh it. A jack sized by guesswork is a poor place to save money.

Made to live on the drawbar

The tube is black powder coated over a galvanised finish, which matters on a part that spends its life in road spray, boat-ramp salt and whatever the tyres throw forward. Closed, the jack measures 425 mm; wound fully out it stands 685 mm, so there is range to lift a coupling clear of the tow ball and still have thread left in reserve. The side-wind handle sits away from the leg, so cranking keeps your knuckles clear of the tube and your back straighter than a top-wind unit allows.

Key features

• Welded foot plate: spreads the load across gravel, grass or soft ground instead of sinking a bare tube into it.
• Side-wind handle: crank from beside the drawbar rather than leaning over the coupling.
• Swivel mounting: the supplier describes a pipe-mount swivel jack while the product title calls out a weld bracket, so confirm the mounting style against your drawbar before ordering.
• Two finishes over the steel: galvanised underneath, powder coated on top.
• Supplied as a pair: two jacks per pack, which suits canopy or camper legs where corners load unevenly.

What's in the box

• 2x Jack Stand

Before you go under a coupled trailer

• A jack lifts and holds a drawbar or a corner. It does not make a trailer safe to work beneath. Support the trailer or vehicle on rated axle stands or blocks before anyone gets underneath.
• Chock the wheels before winding, and work on firm, level ground.
• No AS/NZS, CE or other test standard is named for this jack anywhere in the supplied information. Work to the supplier's stated figure and no further.

Suits box and boat trailers, camper trailers, caravans and ute canopies. If the mounting style is unclear for your drawbar, check the bracket against your tube before ordering.
