A quality trailer jack is essential for safe hitching, leveling, and storage. Whether you’re launching a boat, setting up at the campground, unloading at the racetrack, or parking heavy equipment, the right jack makes the job much easier and safer.

The Problem with Poor-Quality Trailer Jacks

Many trailer owners deal with jacks that are under-rated, hard to crank, prone to rust, or simply unreliable. A failing jack can cause the trailer tongue to drop, damage the coupler, create unsafe conditions, or leave you stranded. Constant use in harsh environments accelerates wear on cheap models.

Why Choose Trailer Jacks from Southwest Wheel

Southwest Wheel offers one of the largest selections of trailer jacks, covering every common style and capacity. From lightweight marine models to heavy-duty crank and electric options, all are chosen for strength, durability, and real-world performance.

Popular Trailer Jack Styles

Marine Jacks

Designed for boat trailers, marine jacks feature corrosion-resistant finishes to withstand water and salt exposure.

Heavy Duty Square Jacks

Built for larger tongue weights and demanding use, heavy duty square jacks provide maximum stability and lifting power.

Stabilizer Jacks

Stabilizer jacks reduce side-to-side rocking once your trailer is parked, greatly improving comfort in RVs and campers.

Swivel Jacks

Swivel jacks rotate 360 degrees, making it easy to swing the wheel out of the way during travel or tight maneuvering.

Weld-On Jacks

Weld-on jacks offer a permanent, integrated mounting solution for custom-built trailers.

Electric Trailer Jacks

For ultimate convenience, electric trailer jacks allow push-button raising and lowering — ideal for heavier trailers.

A-Frame Jacks

The classic A-frame jacks remain a reliable choice for many utility and cargo trailers.
