VEVOR R20TSW-B 2000 lb Swivel Trailer Jack: specs, fit and who it suits

The VEVOR R20TSW-B is a bolt-on swivel jack that fits the tongue of a trailer. You crank it to raise or lower the coupler, so you can hitch, unhitch and level a trailer without lifting its weight by hand. It is rated for 2,000 lbs and aimed at light trailers such as small RVs, horse trailers, utility trailers and boat trailers.

What the 2,000 lb figure covers

A trailer jack carries the weight on the tongue, not the full weight of the trailer. For most trailers the tongue weight is a modest share of the total, which is why a 2,000 lb jack suits many light and mid-size trailers. VEVOR lists the figure as its lifting capacity. Check the tongue weight of your own loaded trailer, and keep a safety margin rather than working right at the limit.

Lift range and trailer height

VEVOR gives a lifting range of 10.5 to 20.2 inches. The lower figure is the retracted height, and the upper is the fully extended height. That matters in two ways. The jack must be short enough to clear the ground when the trailer is hitched, and tall enough to lift the coupler above the ball on the tow vehicle. VEVOR says the range suits both high-profile and low-profile trailers, but measure your coupler height with the trailer level before relying on that.

Swivel design and hand cranking

A swivel jack rotates, usually up and out of the way, so the foot doesn't drag when you tow. VEVOR describes this one as swivel and bolt-on, with a handle you crank by hand. No power is needed. Hand cranking is slower than an electric jack but has nothing to wire, and it keeps working anywhere you can reach the handle.

Materials and finish

The jack is made of carbon steel with a galvanized, rust-resistant finish. Galvanizing coats steel in zinc, which typically slows corrosion in wet or salty conditions. It helps for trailers that sit outdoors, though a quick wipe and a little lubricant on the moving parts is still good practice.

Mounting

The jack bolts to the trailer tongue. VEVOR says the parts and assembly instructions are included. Bolt-on mounting needs a flat, sound mounting surface and the right fasteners for your tongue. Follow the instructions and tighten everything to the specified torque. The listed size is 7.0 x 8.1 x 16.5 inches, and the jack weighs 12.4 lb.

Who it suits

It suits owners of light trailers who want a simple, repairable manual jack to hitch, park and level. A trailer with a heavy tongue weight may need a higher-rated jack. A jack lifts and holds only the tongue, so it is not a substitute for wheel chocks or stabilizers when a trailer is parked. Never go under a trailer supported only by a jack.

What to check before you buy

• Tongue weight: compare it with the 2,000 lb limit, leaving a margin.
• Coupler height: make sure it falls inside the 10.5 to 20.2 inch range.
• Mounting space: check the tongue has room for the bracket and that the jack swivels clear of other parts.
• Bolt pattern: confirm the mounting hardware suits your tongue's shape and thickness.
• Upkeep: plan to keep the screw clean and lightly lubricated.
• Parking: use wheel chocks and follow the trailer's manual.
