Electric jacks

[Haulin4alivin]

Well guys I'm in the process of building a crawler hauler out of a 32' Big Tex and a 18' Vortex toyhauler. Anyway the way I mounted the front won't allow for a cross bar on the jacks. So I've decided 2 electric motors would probably be the best idea. This way I can level the front of the trailer with the large jacks. Some of the motors I have found are reasonably priced and some are not. Any suggestions? Thanks I am going to do a build thread shortly

Put them on different switches side by side so you can modulate, and level.

Go bigger than you think you need. Mine is an electric tongue jack on the enclosed trailer. It is a 4,000 pound and it gets real slow if the trailer ball is in a bind.

Exactly no such thing as too strong or heavy of a trailer jack, electric or not.

Well I'm using the existing jacks on the big tex I am just trying to add electric motors. Most of the motors I have seen are designed to hook to one jack and operate both by the shaft between the two. Well seeing how I am putting a motor on both I don't see the need in such a large expensive unit. Especially since it won't be used more than a few times a year.
