Trailer Jack Solves Annoying Problems
Kent Madison was inspired to invent a new trailer jack attachment after bending a jack when crossing a railroad track. His Jack-E-Up removable trailer jack device solved that problem and more.
  “It also eliminates tailgate interference, and helps prevent theft,” Madison says, because with his system the jack can be removed once the trailer is hooked up.
  Jack-E-Up works on triangle-based or round-based A-frame jacks, explains the third generation Oregon crop farmer.
  His device installs easily after removing the triangle or round base of the jack. Once the base of the Jack-E-Up is put in place, the jack base is replaced along with a top plate that comes with Jack-E-Up. They are bolted in and ready for the jack to slip through. The device engages the jack when cranking to lift and lower the trailer. With 1/6 of a turn, the jack can be disengaged and removed to be stored in an optional Jack-E-Hand or the back of the truck or in the trailer.
  The Heavy Duty Universal Jack-E-Up is 1/4-in. black powder-coated steel and sells for $69 with a lifetime warranty and satisfaction guarantee. To ensure quality, Madison buys U.S. steel and manufactures his product in Oregon. Jack-E-Up fits all 2-in. diameter top wind, side wind or electric triangle-mount-based jacks. He also sells versions for round-based jacks and holders for the jack. The holder keeps the jack higher off the ground and safely away from the tailgate when it is lowered.
  When the jack is completely removed, it is easier to step over the hitch. Madison adds that less winding is required to remove the jack than to lift a standard jack for clearance when driving.
  Videos on his website show how it works and how to install Jack-E-Up.
  Madison welcomes calls from interested distributors or dealers.
