The VEVOR MJ-1500B-DWJ is a bolt-on trailer tongue jack with a 1,500 lb lifting capacity and two wheels. It is for raising and lowering the front of a trailer so that you can hitch, unhitch and move it by hand. VEVOR lists boat trailers, travel trailers, horse trailers and multi-purpose trailers as uses.
What a tongue jack does
A tongue jack sits on the front of the trailer, where the coupler meets the tow vehicle. Turning the handle raises the coupler off the ball, lets you wheel the trailer around, and holds the front up when parked. A swivel jack can be turned out of the way and swung up parallel to the tongue, which VEVOR says allows easy handling when towing.
Capacity and lift range
VEVOR rates the jack at 1,500 lb. The lifting range is 12.51 to 22.52 inches (about 31.8 to 57.2 cm), and the product page also calls it a 10-inch lift. VEVOR says that range suits both high-profile and low-profile trailers. In general, you should make sure that the jack's capacity is above the tongue weight of your loaded trailer, not the total weight.
Build and finish
The jack is made from heavy-duty carbon steel for strength and rigidity. The inner and outer tubes are galvanized and the jack has a powder finish, which VEVOR says gives enhanced corrosion resistance. That is useful for boat trailers, which get wet often, though wiping off salt and moisture keeps any metal parts in better shape.
Dual wheels
The jack has two PP (polypropylene) tires. VEVOR says the larger surface area gives smooth and stable movement, with less tendency to sink into soft ground, and that they cope with mud, gravel and rough surfaces. The tread is meant to resist sliding on wet surfaces. Wheels like these make it easier to move a trailer around a yard or driveway.
Installation
The jack arrives with the parts and assembly instructions. It can be bolted or welded to the trailer tongue. Bolting is the more common route for most owners, while welding should be done by someone qualified. A detachable handle allows manual operation, which VEVOR says is helpful during a power outage or in an emergency.
Size and weight
The listing gives dimensions of about 35.3 x 4.0 x 1.0 inches and a weight of 19 lb (about 8.6 kg).
Who it suits
It suits owners of small to mid-sized trailers who want to hitch and move them alone, boat owners who tow often, and people replacing a worn or undersized jack.
What to check before you buy
- Tongue weight: compare it to the jack's 1,500 lb capacity, and leave a margin.
- Mounting: check that the tongue frame suits a bolt-on mount and the bolt pattern.
- Height: confirm that the lift range reaches from the ground to your coupler.
- Ground: wheels help on soft surfaces, but a flat, firm spot is still best.
- Upkeep: keep the screw mechanism clean and lubricated as the manual suggests.
