A reliable, heavy-duty manual scissor jack designed for stabilizing and leveling 5th wheels, travel trailers, and cargo or utility trailers. The 285325 extends a full 24 inches, retracts to just 4-1/4 inches for easy storage, and installs with a universal bolt-on or weld-on mounting system -- no specialty hardware required.
When you pull into a campsite, the last thing you want is a rig that rocks underfoot every time someone moves around inside. The Lippert 285325 scissor jack gives you a firm, stable base using a simple mechanical design that RV owners have trusted for decades. No batteries, no motor to burn out -- just a robust steel jack you crank into position and rely on all weekend.
The bow-tie base spreads the load across a wider footprint than a standard flat pad, reducing the chance of the jack sinking or tipping on softer ground. Combined with the rust-prohibitive finish applied to all metal surfaces, this jack is built to hold up through seasons of deployment in wet, muddy, and road-salt environments.
Rated for 5,000 lbs. per jack, making it suitable as a corner stabilizer for most travel trailers and 5th wheels.
Full 24-inch travel from retracted to fully extended, accommodating a wide range of rig heights and uneven terrain.
Wider bow-tie footprint distributes weight more evenly than a single flat pad, improving stability on soft or uneven surfaces.
Accepts both bolt-on and weld-on installation, fitting existing mounting tabs or custom fabricated brackets on nearly any trailer frame.
The 285325 uses a universal mounting configuration compatible with standard RV and trailer frame rails. Four mounting screws are included in the kit -- no sourcing hardware separately for a basic bolt-on installation. For weld-on applications, a welder will need to fabricate or utilize existing mounting tabs on the trailer frame.
The retracted height of just 4-1/4 inches keeps the jack from dragging on steep ramps or rough approach angles during travel. At 26.19 inches long when measured fully, the jack stows compactly under the frame without protruding excessively.
This jack is suitable for:
It is designed as a stabilizer jack, not a primary leveling jack. For significant side-to-side or front-to-back leveling, use leveling blocks or ramps in combination with these jacks. The scissor jack holds the trailer steady once it has been roughly leveled -- it is not intended to lift a loaded trailer off the ground.
