I have this jack mounted on my Caulkins trailer for a 17 foot fairly heavy boat. The jack works great and is easy to move the trailer around with the boat on it. Swings up and stays out of the way. Mounting brackets and bolts are good and instalation is easy also.

This product was China made and the locking holes were not even close to center of shaft. Unable to install on trailer stand.

I actually got the 1000 pound model, but it looks the same as the picture of the 750. I did a little head scratching during the assembly. There is a couple of ways you can attach it to the trailer, only one is right. I might be slow, but it took me two times to get it right. Some times I find the (caster)wheel doesn't swing side to side when you change direction, but maybe that was at extreme low and I should have lifted it an inch or so. Also, I learned, you shouldn't move the trailer with the jack all the way extended. Lower it at least half way, or it is pretty weak and tends to get out of column. Doing that frequently might damage it. Having said all that, this does work for my EZ load trailer and 300 lbs boat. It swings up out of the way easily, it has lots of mechanical advantage when cranking up (I think i counted 80 cranks from bottom to top.) I marked with a felt marker near the end of the range, it sort of sticks if you crank all the way to the end of the range. The Price was a fraction of a similar one at NAPA.

good solid item for my popup trailer, but the design has an issue. This is bolted onto the cross member of the trailer and you cant get it tight enough to begin rolling outward when used. the whole thing begins to turn when being cranked. I "think" a hole drilled in the side of it would make it not do that.
