A 12V DC motor powers the VEVOR 5000 lb electric trailer jack. With the push of a button, it raises and lowers the trailer tongue, so you do not have to keep cranking as you do with manual trailer jacks every time you connect and disconnect. During normal use, the push-button switch is easy to reach. This lets the user adjust the tongue height at the hitch area instead of walking to the side of the trailer to reach a hand crank.
With a lifting capacity of 5,000 lbs (2,268 kg), the motor provides steady, controlled lift for travel trailers, campers, boat trailers, and equipment trailers with tongue weights up to that amount. The electric drive provides smooth, controlled lifting throughout the lift cycle under normal operating loads. This makes it easy to align the hitch ball because the tongue moves smoothly and predictably. This allows more precise height adjustment when aligning the trailer coupler with the hitch ball.
With its four positions, the drop leg gives you an extra 4.5 inches (114 mm) of coarse height adjustment that you can make quickly without using the electric motor. Even if the ground is uneven at a campsite or storage yard, the drop leg can make the big initial change while the motor fine-tunes the final tongue height for a perfect hitch coupling.
This two-step process—gross adjustment with the drop leg and fine control with the motor—helps reduce motor run time during each coupling cycle. This helps reduce power consumption from the 12V power supply. The drop leg has four fixed positions that give you reliable, repeatable height steps. The drop leg locks securely into position without tools.
The mounting base rotates through 90°, allowing the jack body to be oriented away from the tow vehicle tailgate during installation without drilling new mounting holes or modifying the trailer A-frame. The jack's rotatable base allows it to be rotated to improve tailgate clearance when needed. The rotating base provides additional clearance for pickup truck tailgates during use.
The 5000 lb electric trailer jack uses a standard A-frame mounting pattern, allowing installation on many compatible trailer frames without modification. With its accessories, the assembly weighs 21.6 pounds (9.8 kg), making it easy for one person to install. When retracted, it has an overall height of 28.9 inches (735 mm), which helps maintain compact dimensions during towing.
The 13-pin adapter that comes with the jack connects the 12V DC motor directly to the tow vehicle's trailer power socket. The operating current comes from the vehicle's electrical system, so the tow vehicle side does not need a separate battery, relay, or extra wiring. Many European caravans and trailers use the standard 13-pin connector. This jack is compatible with many European tow vehicles equipped with a 13-pin socket.
The direct socket connection also means the jack receives power whenever it is connected to a compatible powered trailer socket. This means that the vehicle side does not need to be switched on separately before the tongue can be operated; the operator just connects the trailer harness as part of the normal pre-departure process, and the jack is ready for operation once connected. Once the vehicle and trailer are in place, this seamless integration makes the hookup process as easy as pressing a button.
The top crank lets you manually operate the jack if the 12V power source fails, like a dead tow vehicle battery, a blown fuse, or a problem with the wiring that stops the motor from getting power. In the event of a power failure during coupling, the manual crank provides an alternative lifting method when electrical power is unavailable.
The top crank engages the same internal lifting mechanism as the motor, allowing the full 230–686 mm electric lift range to be covered manually when the power supply is unavailable. The backup crank design of this 5000 lb electric trailer jack helps ensure that a power outage is only a minor inconvenience, not a problem that ends the trip. This means the jack will still work at full lift range, regardless of the electrical system's status at any given time.
The built-in LED work light illuminates the coupler area and hitch ball when hitching at dawn or dusk, in covered storage areas, and at campsites with poor lighting, where ambient light is not enough to properly align the hitch ball. The light activates when the jack's power system is active. It directs illumination toward the coupling zone, where visibility is most critical during the final descent of the tongue socket onto the hitch ball.
The weather-resistant shroud protects the motor housing and switch assembly of the 5000 lb electric trailer jack from rain, dust, road spray, and UV exposure. The shroud stays in place during transport and storage, protecting the machine without the operator having to do anything between uses. The coated inner and outer jack tubes further protect the sliding extension surfaces from corrosion.
