Two heavy-duty manual scissor jacks engineered for 5th wheels, travel trailers, and cargo trailers. Each jack handles up to 5,000 lbs, extends a full 30 inches, and collapses to just 4-1/4 inches for compact storage. A rust-prohibitive finish and bow-tie base keep your rig solid whether you park for a weekend or a season.
Manual scissor jacks remain the go-to stabilizing solution for millions of RV owners because they are simple, durable, and easy to carry as spares. The Lippert 285344 kit gives you two matched jacks in one purchase -- ideal for rear corner placement on a travel trailer or as a balanced pair under a 5th wheel slide-out or frame rail.
The universal bolt-on or weld-on design means you can fit these to the factory mounting pads already on most trailers, or fabricate a custom bracket to suit your chassis. Each jack ships with four mounting screws so you can get bolted up right away.
Each jack independently supports up to 5,000 lbs, providing serious corner stability without flexing or creeping overnight.
Extends from a collapsed height of 4-1/4 inches all the way to 30 inches, covering a wide range of trailer frame heights and ground clearances.
The wide bow-tie footprint spreads the load and resists tipping on uneven ground -- more stable than a narrow pad base.
All metal surfaces receive a corrosion-resistant coating to hold up to road spray, rain, and seasonal storage in wet climates.
These jacks are designed for maximum installation flexibility. Most 5th wheels and travel trailers already have pre-drilled or pre-welded mounting locations at the rear corners. The 285344 fits those standard locations directly. If you are building a cargo trailer or utility trailer from scratch, the weld-on option lets a fabricator attach them permanently to the frame.
Each kit includes four (4) mounting screws per jack, so bolted installation requires no additional hardware beyond standard hand tools and a crank handle (sold separately).
These jacks are appropriate for the following trailer types:
Scissor jacks are stabilizers, not primary leveling jacks. Use leveling blocks or a tongue jack to get the trailer level first, then deploy scissor jacks to eliminate movement and sway. Operating a scissor jack as a primary lift jack can damage the mechanism and voids the load rating.
A 1/2-inch square-drive crank handle or a 7/8-inch socket on an 18-inch breaker bar is needed to operate these jacks. Neither is included in this kit. Lippert and aftermarket handles are available separately.
