AJ Hydraulic Trailer Jack 1/20 with Manual Override Screw Drive
Description
The EQ Systems AJ Hydraulic Trailer Jack is a heavy-duty, single-leg hydraulic lifting system engineered for gooseneck trailers carrying serious loads - horse trailers, motorsports rigs, and cargo haulers. With an 8,000 lb lifting capacity and a 20-inch stroke, this jack replaces the frustrating effort of cranking a manual jack by putting full control at the touch of a rocker switch. The AJ series features a rugged 3.5" x 3.5" square tube-in-tube design that bolts directly to the center tube of your gooseneck, delivering a clean and reliable installation.
Whether you're hooking up a loaded horse trailer on a tight schedule or backing in after a long haul, this system turns a laborious task into a two-minute operation. A built-in manual override screw drive ensures you're never stranded if power is unavailable, giving you the confidence to take this system anywhere your trailer goes. Built by EQ Systems in Cassopolis, Michigan, this jack is a trusted solution for horse trailer owners, motorsports haulers, and commercial operators who demand dependable performance mile after mile.

FAQ
Does this jack ship with hydraulic fluid and mounting bolts?
No - the unit ships without hydraulic fluid or mounting bolts. For fluid, use Dexron III ATF, filled to about one inch below the top of the reservoir with the jacks fully retracted. If you're using the included universal mounting brackets, you'll need to order mounting bolt kit #7227 separately - one kit is required for a single-leg jack.
What do I do if the jack loses power and won't operate?
The AJ jack includes a manual override screw drive for exactly this situation. Remove the pump cover and the foil seal on top of the motor, then insert a 6mm (1/4 inch) Allen hex key into the override shaft. Use a reversible drill capable of at least 2000 RPM - clockwise retracts the jack, counterclockwise extends it. Make sure the drill does not contact any wires or hoses during operation.
Can I control this jack with a wireless remote?
Yes - the AJ single-leg jack is compatible with the optional wireless remote control, part #7823, sold separately. The standard system comes with a weatherproof rocker switch and key control. The key lock also serves as a security feature to prevent unauthorized use of the jack.
What kind of trailer is this jack designed for?
The AJ Hydraulic Trailer Jack is designed to bolt to the center tube of a gooseneck trailer. It is commonly used on horse trailers, motorsports and cargo trailers, and commercial gooseneck applications. It is not intended for use on bumper-pull trailers.
How do I keep the battery and system properly maintained?
EQ Systems recommends load-testing your battery to ensure it delivers a minimum of 150 amperes at 10.5 VDC for at least 30 seconds. Keep terminals tight and free of corrosion, and keep the battery charged per the manufacturer's requirements. If the trailer sits between trips, EQ Systems offers Stay Charge kits (parts #8400 and #8427) to charge the trailer battery from the tow vehicle, and solar kit #70487 to keep the jack battery topped up. The system should be inspected every 12 months.
Is assembly or installation required?
Yes, installation is required. The jack mounts to the center tube of your gooseneck trailer using the included universal mounting brackets. You will need to separately purchase mounting bolt kit #7227 and supply Dexron III ATF fluid. EQ Systems provides an installation and operation manual (AJ Single Leg Installation and Operation Manual, EQ004R10) to guide you through the process. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with hydraulic systems.
