OPENROAD 5000 lb A-Frame Trailer Jack — 15" Top-Wind Tongue Jack, Silver, Foot Plate & Smooth Gear

The OPENROAD 5000 lbs A-frame trailer jack is a heavy-duty top-wind tongue jack that lifts and stabilizes trailers, RVs, campers and small boats up to 5,000 pounds with a 15-inch vertical travel and built-in foot plate.

Built for towing rigs that need reliable, manual lifting power, this A-frame jack combines a high 5,000 lb tongue capacity with a smooth-wind gear train, corrosion-resistant finish and a large foot plate for improved ground contact. It’s designed to make hitching, leveling and storing trailers easier without electricity, while offering durable construction for frequent use in outdoor conditions.

How much weight can this jack handle and what does that mean for my trailer?

The OPENROAD jack is rated to support up to 5,000 pounds of tongue weight, meaning it’s suitable for many mid-size travel trailers, utility trailers, and boat trailers when the tongue load falls within that limit. Always verify your trailer’s tongue weight and never exceed the rated capacity to maintain safe operation.

• 5,000 lb maximum tongue weight rating
• Suitable for many RVs, campers and boat trailers within rating
• Manual design avoids dependence on electrical systems
• Check vehicle and trailer specs before use

How smooth and easy is it to operate the top-wind crank?

This model uses a lubricated gear mechanism and an ergonomically designed top-wind handle for smooth, low-effort cranking. The gear train reduces binding and wear so you can raise and lower the tongue with predictable motion, even under load.

• Top-wind crank for comfortable vertical operation
• Pre-lubricated gears for reduced friction and jamming
• Comfortable handle feel for repeated use
• Manual operation—no battery or wiring required

What range of height adjustment does the jack provide and why that matters?

The jack offers a 15-inch vertical travel with an effective lift range spanning approximately 8.6 inches to 23.6 inches when measured from mounting to foot, making it versatile for hitching, leveling and storage positions. That range covers most common trailer coupler heights and provides room for safe alignment with tow vehicles.

• 15" maximum vertical travel
• Approximate lift range: 8.6" to 23.6" overall
• Useful for hitching, leveling, and storing trailers
• Quick, controlled lifting and lowering

How durable is the jack and will it resist corrosion outdoors?

The OPENROAD A-frame jack is made from heavy-gauge A3 steel and finished with electroplating to improve corrosion resistance and surface durability. Sturdy construction and the wide foot plate add stability on softer ground and extend working life in roadside or marina environments.

• Heavy-duty A3 steel construction for strength
• Electroplated surface reduces rust and corrosion
• Large foot plate improves ground contact and stability
• Engineered for repeated outdoor use and towing conditions

Who is this for: The OPENROAD 5000 lb A-frame trailer jack is aimed at trailer owners who need a robust, manual solution for lifting and stabilizing tongue loads — ideal for RV and camper owners, boat trailer users, and anyone with mid-size towing rigs who prefers a durable, corrosion-resistant jack that won’t rely on power. If you frequently hitch or store trailers, operate in varied outdoor environments, and require a long travel range plus a stable foot plate, this jack is a practical, heavy-duty option.
