Jack, S/W 12K, Drop Leg

The Jack, S/W 12K, Drop Leg is a side-wind 12,000 lb drop-leg tongue jack for heavy-duty trailers, available at Skipper B Trailers in Westwego, Louisiana. This is the heavy-duty tongue jack built for the largest and heaviest trailers — enclosed cargo trailers, dump trailers, equipment trailers, and heavy tandem axle boat trailers that carry tongue weights far beyond what a standard 2,500 or 5,000 lb jack can handle. The 12,000 lb capacity provides the lifting strength to raise and lower a fully loaded heavy trailer tongue, and the drop-leg design provides extended travel that lets the jack reach the ground from the higher tongue positions found on larger trailers while also retracting fully for road clearance during towing on Interstate 10, Highway 90, the Westbank Expressway, and the roads between Westwego, Marrero, Harvey, and job sites across Jefferson Parish and Greater New Orleans.

Louisiana operators towing heavy trailers need a tongue jack that matches the tongue weight of the loaded trailer. A 7x14 enclosed cargo trailer loaded with tools and materials, a dump trailer full of demolition debris, or a heavy tandem axle boat trailer carrying a large offshore fishing boat and twin outboards all put serious weight on the tongue — weight that a standard jack can't lift without stripping gears, bending the tube, or failing completely. The side-wind crank handle positions the cranking effort at a comfortable side-mounted angle instead of on top of the jack, making it easier to reach on taller trailer tongues and reducing the ergonomic strain of cranking heavy loads. The drop-leg mechanism works in two stages — release the pin and the inner leg drops to the ground by gravity, then crank the jack to lift the tongue with the geared mechanism. This two-stage system provides far more total travel than a single-stage jack, handling both the high tongue heights of large trailers and the variation in ground level at uneven job sites, sloped driveways, and the gravel lots throughout the West Bank. Whether you're a contractor running a heavy enclosed cargo trailer, Captain Chris managing fleet dump trailers and equipment haulers, a commercial operator towing heavy loads daily across Greater New Orleans, or any trailer owner who's outgrown the standard tongue jack on a heavy rig, this 12,000 lb drop-leg delivers.

At $239.99, this side-wind drop-leg jack provides the capacity and travel that heavy trailers demand. The 12,000 lb rating handles the heaviest recreational and commercial trailer tongue weights, and the drop-leg mechanism provides the extended travel range for high-tongue trailers on uneven terrain. Perfect for enclosed cargo trailers, dump trailers, equipment trailers, heavy boat trailers, and any trailer requiring high-capacity tongue jack support throughout Southeast Louisiana.
