VEVOR HS2000STW 2000 lb Trailer Jack with Wheel: specs and who it suits

The VEVOR HS2000STW is a hand-cranked trailer tongue jack with a wheel, rated at 2,000 lb. It lifts the front of a trailer so you can hitch and unhitch, and the wheel lets you roll the trailer around a driveway or yard. VEVOR positions it for RV, boat, horse and utility trailers.

What the lift range means

VEVOR gives the lifting range as 12.5 to 24.5 inches. The first number is roughly the jack's shortest height and the second its fully extended height, so the difference is the 12 inches of lift in the listing title. In general, a trailer with a low coupler needs a jack that closes short enough to fit under it, and a high one needs enough extension to clear the hitch ball. Measure your own coupler height with the trailer level to see where it falls in that range.

Swivel mount and storage

The jack bolts to the trailer tongue and swivels up and out of the way when you are driving. VEVOR says this avoids ground-clearance problems and means you do not have to remove it. The listing says all the parts and assembly instructions are included. Mounting generally needs a suitable bracket position and fasteners rated for the load, so follow the instructions.

The wheel

The jack has a single wheel made of polypropylene (PP) on a 360-degree caster. VEVOR says the material is corrosion-resistant and non-slip, intended for wet or salty conditions such as boat ramps. A caster wheel lets you steer the tongue sideways, which helps when positioning a trailer by hand in a tight spot. Small wheels typically work best on firm, flat ground and less well on soft grass or loose gravel.

Construction

The listing describes corrosion-resistant alloy steel with an inner and outer tube design. The tubes slide inside one another as you crank, and a handle turns the screw mechanism. It is manual, with no power needed, so it works anywhere.

Size

The listed dimensions are 25.8 x 7.9 x 5.5 inches, which gives a sense of the packed size.

Who it suits

It suits owners of light and mid-sized trailers: utility trailers, small boat trailers, horse trailers and some RVs. For heavier trailers, check the tongue weight, which is the downward force on the coupler, rather than the full trailer weight, because the jack carries the tongue weight. A jack used near its limit is a poor match, so it makes sense to leave some margin.

As standard advice, a jack is for lifting and positioning only. Do not work under a trailer supported only by a jack, and follow the manual.

What to check before you buy

• Tongue weight: confirm it is comfortably below the 2,000 lb capacity.
• Coupler height: make sure the 12.5 to 24.5 inch range suits your trailer when level.
• Mounting: check the tongue's width and shape against the bracket, and whether the bolt pattern works for you.
• Ground: consider the surfaces where you will roll the trailer, since a small wheel suits hard surfaces best.
• Upkeep: check the manual on lubricating the screw and inspecting the wheel and fasteners.
