8in Spoke Wheel Trailer Jack 1500 lbs - 10in Vertical Movement

In this review of the 8in Spoke Wheel Trailer Jack, the bottom line is straightforward: it is a practical, heavy-duty jack for owners of small trailers, boat trailers and RV tongue assemblies who need better rollability and corrosion resistance. The reviewer found the biggest reason to buy is the sturdy 8in spoke wheel and upgraded construction that make maneuvering a loaded trailer over uneven surfaces noticeably easier. Installation is bolt-on and the jack's vertical movement is useful for common hitching tasks.

Key Features

• Capacity: Rated for 1,500 lbs, it provides adequate load support for most small boat and utility trailers.
• Vertical travel: Ten inches of vertical movement (13in retracted, 23in extended) gives useful adjustment range for hitching and leveling.
• Upgraded wheel: The 8in spoke wheel and reinforced materials improve stability and allow smoother rolling across mud, gravel and grass.
• Corrosion resistance: Zinc-plated steel with a silver powder coat reduces corrosion risk from water, dirt and salt exposure on marine trailers.
• Mounting hardware included: Bolt-on mounting hardware for a 3 by 5in frame saves a trip to the hardware store and simplifies installation.
• Handle strap: A handle strap keeps the handle off the ground when retracted horizontally, limiting wear and contact with debris.

Who It's For

This jack is aimed at boat owners, RV users and DIY trailer owners who want a durable, easy-to-roll replacement for a typical 6in jack wheel. The larger 8in wheel and reinforced construction suit trailers that frequently encounter rough launch ramps, gravel driveways or grassy campsites.

Those who need extremely heavy-duty commercial jacks or electric-powered jacks should look elsewhere; this model is optimized for lighter loads up to 1,500 lbs and manual operation rather than industrial duties.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Robust build quality and galvanized steel construction for long-term durability.
• Large 8in spoke wheel improves rollability and handles uneven surfaces well.
• Includes mounting hardware and offers a useful 10in vertical travel range.
• Handle strap and corrosion-resistant finish add practical longevity features.

Cons

• Capacity is limited to 1,500 lbs, so it is not suitable for heavier trailers or commercial applications.
• Manual operation may be slower than powered jacks for users wanting electric convenience.

Specifications

Our Verdict
