Stromberg Carlson 3500 lb Capacity 12V Electric JET-3555 Electric Tongue Jack -- White Finish

Stop cranking by hand every time you hitch or unhitch. The Stromberg Carlson JET-3555 electric tongue jack replaces your old manual jack with a push-button 12V motor, giving you smooth, effortless leveling and coupling at the front of your travel trailer. White powder-coat finish blends cleanly with white trailer frames and A-frames.

Push-Button Convenience for Hitching and Unhitching

The JET-3555 is part of Stromberg Carlson's JET series of electric tongue jacks -- purpose-built for travel trailers and lightweight fifth wheels that need a front-mount, drop-pin style vertical jack. The motor-driven lift means no more sore shoulders from spinning a handle, and no more fumbling with a drill-adapter setup on a manual unit.

At 3,500 lbs of rated lift capacity, this jack handles the nose weight of most mid-size and larger travel trailers. The white powder-coat finish is specifically matched for trailers with white A-frames and coupler assemblies, keeping the front end looking factory-clean.

3500 lb Lift Capacity

Handles the tongue weight of most travel trailers from compact single-axles up to larger tandem-axle units with heavy front storage loads.

12V DC Electric Motor

Runs directly off your trailer's 12V battery or breakaway battery. No generator, no extension cord -- just connect and press the button.

Drop-Pin Mount Design

Slides into the standard A-frame receiver tube and secures with a drop pin -- the same mount pattern used by most OEM and replacement trailer tongue jacks.

White Powder-Coat Finish

Durable exterior finish resists chipping and corrosion. Matches white trailer frames without needing paint touch-up or a cover plate.

Where the JET-3555 Fits in the Stromberg Carlson Lineup

Stromberg Carlson's JET series electric tongue jacks are available in multiple capacities and finishes. The JET-3555 is the 3,500 lb white-finish model -- the most common configuration for mid-range to larger travel trailers. If your existing jack is a manual A-frame drop-pin type or a competing electric jack with a standard receiver tube, the JET-3555 is a direct-style replacement.

Shoppers replacing an OEM electric jack from brands like Husky, Bulldog, or Lippert on a white-framed trailer frequently choose the JET-3555 as a drop-in upgrade because it uses the same industry-standard mount pattern and wiring polarity.

Upgrade from Manual to Electric: If your trailer currently has a manual tongue jack in a drop-pin receiver, the JET-3555 bolts right in. No frame drilling required in most cases -- just pull the old jack, slide the JET-3555 into the receiver tube, drop the pin, and wire the motor leads to a switched 12V source at the front of the trailer.

Wiring and Power Requirements

The JET-3555 motor runs on 12V DC. Most installations tap the trailer's breakaway battery or the 12V auxiliary circuit at the coupler end of the trailer. The jack requires a two-wire connection (positive and ground) plus a rocker switch or control button -- the switch is typically included or available as a separate Stromberg Carlson accessory.

Use a minimum 16-gauge wire for runs under 10 feet, or step up to 14-gauge for longer runs to avoid voltage drop that can slow the motor under load. A 20-amp inline fuse or circuit breaker near the battery protects the wiring.

Tip: Run the jack fully up before wiring so you can verify correct motor rotation direction. If the jack moves down when you press Up, simply swap the two motor leads at the connector. No harm done to the motor.

Foot Pad and Travel Position

The JET-3555 ships with a swivel foot pad that pivots to stay flat on uneven ground, spreading the load across a wider surface area. When traveling, retract the jack fully and secure with the drop pin to prevent any road-vibration creep. Always chock the wheels before extending or retracting under a loaded trailer.

Weight Distribution Reminder: The 3,500 lb capacity rating refers to vertical lift load only. Tongue weight (the actual nose-down force your trailer places on the hitch ball) should remain within your tow vehicle's rated tongue weight limit -- typically 10-15% of total trailer GVWR. Do not use the tongue jack to support the full weight of the trailer for maintenance; use proper jack stands under the frame.
Maintenance Tips:
  • Grease the inner tube and screw mechanism with white lithium grease every 3-4 months or after any exposure to rain and road spray.
  • Inspect the drop pin and retaining clip before each trip -- these are the only things holding the jack in the receiver tube while underway.
  • Keep the motor housing dry; do not pressure-wash directly at the motor vent.
  • If the motor runs but the jack does not move, inspect the drive screw for debris or corrosion buildup on the threads.

Important Information -- Please Read Before Installing
  • Rated for 3,500 lbs vertical lift capacity only. Do not exceed this load. Overloading can damage the motor, drive screw, or receiver tube weld.
  • This jack is designed for travel trailers and light fifth wheels with standard drop-pin A-frame receivers. It is NOT a stabilizer jack and should not be used as the sole support for a trailer during maintenance.
  • Always chock all trailer wheels before operating the tongue jack. The trailer can roll if the wheels are not secured, especially on sloped sites.
  • Verify polarity before final wiring. Reverse polarity will cause the jack to move in the wrong direction -- swapping leads corrects this, but connecting directly to battery terminals backward for extended periods can damage the motor.
  • Do not operate the jack with the tow vehicle still attached to the trailer coupler unless the vehicle is in park with the parking brake set.
  • Inspect the drop pin retaining clip before every trip. A missing or bent clip allows the jack to slide out of the receiver while towing, causing a road hazard.
  • Product is finished in white -- this is the correct color for this part number. If you need black finish, verify the correct Stromberg Carlson JET series part number for your application before ordering.
