Dual leg 12,000 lb hydraulic landing gear with single pump operation and 24" travel. Perfect for gooseneck trailers. Made in America.
The Bigfoot SQI24-2PTS dual point landing gear system represents the professional-grade solution for gooseneck trailers, heavy equipment haulers, and large horse trailers requiring dual-leg stability. Engineered by Quadra Manufacturing in White Pigeon, Michigan since 1988, this American-made system delivers synchronized dual-cylinder operation from a single pump for balanced, reliable lifting. With 12,000 lb capacity per leg and 24 inches of travel, the SQI24-2PTS handles the heaviest gooseneck loads while maintaining the simplicity of single-pump hydraulics.
Built with rugged tube-in-tube construction and featuring large foot pads on both legs, this landing gear provides exceptional stability when your trailer is unhitched for extended periods. The single pump design keeps complexity low while the dual synchronized cylinders ensure even lifting on both sides—critical for preventing frame stress on gooseneck and heavy equipment trailers. Complete with weatherproof control box with key lock, universal mounting brackets, and all necessary wiring, the SQI24-2PTS installs on any horse trailer, cargo trailer, or equipment trailer requiring dual-leg support. At 225 lbs total weight, this is a substantial professional system designed for serious hauling applications.

Professional Installation Strongly Recommended: At 225 lbs total weight and requiring precise alignment of dual cylinders, this system should be installed by professionals familiar with gooseneck trailer mounting and hydraulic systems. Remote Mounting Option: The pump comes standard mounted to the front of one jack. For custom installations requiring remote pump mounting (away from jacks), you must supply extended hydraulic hoses—these are not included. Contact Quadra Manufacturing for hydraulic hose specifications and lengths needed for your specific application. Trailer Requirements: Your trailer must have adequate frame structure on both sides to support dual-leg mounting. Gooseneck trailers, large horse trailers, and heavy equipment haulers typically have this structure. Bumper-pull trailers usually do not (use single jack instead). Power Requirements: Requires dedicated 12-volt battery with sufficient amperage to operate dual-cylinder system. Do not connect to tow vehicle electrical system.
Gooseneck Horse Trailers: Large 4-horse, 6-horse, and living quarter gooseneck trailers gain rock-solid stability with dual synchronized jacks providing balanced front support. Gooseneck Equipment Trailers: Heavy equipment haulers carrying skid steers, excavators, tractors, and construction machinery require dual-leg landing gear for safe unhitched storage. Gooseneck Cargo Trailers: Enclosed gooseneck cargo trailers and car haulers benefit from the 24,000 lb combined capacity when loaded with vehicles or heavy cargo. Specialty Gooseneck Trailers: RV haulers, show trailers, concession trailers, and mobile workshops requiring dual-point front support for extended periods. NOT For: Standard bumper-pull trailers—these typically use center-mounted single jacks. Fifth wheel trailers use different pin box systems.
Installation Steps (Professional Installation Strongly Recommended): 1. Plan Mounting Locations: Measure and mark mounting points on both sides of gooseneck frame. Jacks must be parallel and level. 2. Verify Frame Strength: Ensure trailer frame can support dual-leg mounting with adequate structural support at both locations. 3. Install Mounting Brackets: Attach 20" universal brackets to frame on both sides using supplied hardware. Ensure perfect alignment. 4. Mount Jack Assemblies: Secure both jacks to mounting brackets. Verify both jacks are plumb and operate freely. 5. Install Pump Assembly: Mount single pump to front of one jack (standard) or remotely mount (requires extended hydraulic hoses). 6. Connect Hydraulic Lines: Route hydraulic lines from pump to both cylinders. Ensure lines are secure and protected from damage. 7. Install Control Box: Mount weatherproof control box in accessible location. Connect wiring harness to control box and pump. 8. Wire to Battery: Connect system to dedicated 12V battery with appropriate circuit breaker for overcurrent protection. 9. Test Synchronization: Cycle both jacks through full range multiple times. Verify both cylinders extend and retract evenly together. 10. Final Checks: Inspect all hydraulic connections for leaks, ensure foot pads swivel freely, verify key lock functions properly.
Complete System Includes: • Two SQI24 Hydraulic Jack Assemblies (Dual Legs) • Single 12V Hydraulic Pump/Motor Unit • Weatherproof Control Box with Key Lock • Two 20" Universal Mounting Brackets • Complete Wiring Harness • Hydraulic Lines (Standard Length for Direct Pump Mount) • Mounting Hardware (Bolts/Washers for Both Legs) • Installation Instructions • Warranty Documentation NOT Included (Must Supply Separately): • Extended hydraulic hoses (if remote mounting pump) • Tools for installation • Jack stands or trailer support during installation • Additional structural reinforcement (if needed for your trailer frame)
The key decision factor is your trailer type: Gooseneck trailers almost always require dual landing gear for balanced front support, while bumper-pull trailers use center-mounted single jacks. If your trailer has a gooseneck connection (pin box in the bed of your truck) and side-by-side frame rails at the front, you need dual landing gear like the SQI24-2PTS.
For most gooseneck trailer applications, single pump systems like the SQI24-2PTS provide the ideal balance of simplicity and reliability. The synchronized operation ensures both jacks always extend evenly, preventing frame stress. Dual pump systems add complexity and cost but offer independent leg adjustment for severely uneven terrain.

This is a heavy-duty 225 lb professional-grade system requiring precise installation. Unlike single jacks that can often be DIY installed, dual landing gear systems demand: Critical Installation Requirements: • Perfect alignment of both jacks to ensure synchronized operation • Structural assessment of trailer frame to verify adequate support • Proper hydraulic line routing to prevent kinking or damage • Correct electrical connections with appropriate circuit protection • Testing and adjustment to ensure both cylinders extend evenly Improper installation can result in: Frame damage from uneven lifting, hydraulic system leaks, electrical failures, or unsafe trailer operation. Professional installation by experienced technicians familiar with gooseneck trailer systems is strongly recommended.
