Wedge Tires Mounted
How do I use a Fixed mount trailer jack?
Hi...I have a fixed mount trailer jack which I want to use to raise my cargo trailer which I never move, but the tires are getting flat and I just need to use the jacks as support instead of the tires for support. So...I climbed under the trailer, but I cannot find any jack points or inner wedge points to fit the jack into...Does anyone know where I should place the jacks under a cargo trailer for stationary support? This is a 6 by 8 trailer you would find at Home Depot for example, for reference.
Thanks a lot.
These light duty trailers are designed to be jacked up on the axle or spring suspension and only for changing the tires. So, I would do this. Get five jacks. Put one at each wheel (on the axle), two on the back tail gate and one near the hitch. The ones on the axle will support about 70% of the weight. The two at the rear will support about 5% of the weight (just to keep it from tilting backwards) and the one at the hitch will support the other 25%.
You can get a 2x6x6 under the tail gate between the jack and the chassis to spread the weight from the jack so that it is not on a point that is about the size of a quarter.
