Frequently Asked Questions
What hydraulic fluid should I use?
For normal operating conditions, Dexron III ATF is recommended for this hydraulic trailer jack system. In extremely cold operating environments, a synthetic aircraft-rated hydraulic fluid may be required. MIL-H-83283 is commonly recommended for extreme cold applications. Always confirm fluid requirements for your climate and hydraulic setup before servicing the system.
Does this jack self-level the trailer?
No. This jack does not automatically self-level the trailer. It provides hydraulic lifting and lowering, but trailer leveling must still be controlled by the operator.
What is the difference between support capacity and lift capacity?
The 12,000 lb rating refers to the jack’s support capacity, while the 10,000 lb rating refers to hydraulic lifting capacity. Support capacity is the static load the jack is designed to support, while lift capacity is the load the hydraulic system is designed to raise.
Can this kit replace a manual crank trailer jack?
Yes, this kit is commonly used as an upgrade from manual crank trailer jacks. It provides hydraulic lifting and lowering to make heavy trailer hookup, leveling, and support easier.
