Add-On Electric Trailer Jack Kit

Add-On Electric Trailer Jack Kit James Walters and his wife liked their new electric trailer jack from Magnum Lift Systems so much that they later bought the company. They had an electronic lift on their toy hauler, but in 2021 they stopped by the company to get one for their cargo trailer. “From the moment we experienced the superior quality and durability of their lifts, we were hooked,” Walters reports. Three years later, when they had the chance to buy the company, they did. At the time, the company offered electric conversion kits for single and two-speed manual jacks. Both kits come standard with a manual-crank backup shaft in case of battery failure. They fit both single and dual-landing-gear aircraft and can be mounted on either side of the OEM jack leg. “They’ll fit any 4-in. manual trailer jack on the market,” says Walters. “The kits are rated at 12,000 lbs. The single-speed kit retails for $795, and the two-speed for $695.” Walters notes that the kits include everything needed for installation except basic hand tools. No welding is required, and installation takes only 30 to 45 min. The company also offers 12,000-lb. hydraulic jacks that retail for $1,495. “The biggest difference in the electric and hydraulic models is the hydraulic raise and lower faster,” says Walters. “Also, you have to remove your old trailer jack to install the self-contained unit.” Magnum Lift Systems sells its products through dealers and distributors in the U.S. Canadian readers should contact the company directly.
