The Ram Electric Jack is quite different from other types of jacks, especially the manual jack. An electric trailer jack is the ideal solution for many towing applications. The device allows you to raise the front of your trailer so that you can hitch, or unhitch your tow vehicle.
It also has a manual type but both of them comes in different weight capacities. So, you can aptly make your choice depending on the type of vehicle you are using it for.

Reviews
The Electric Jack with Footplate is designed for use on A-frame trailers. It gives 19-1/2 inches of travel, 9 inches retracted to 28-1/2 inches extended, and a 3,500 lb capacity. In the event there is no power supply at a given time or maybe your trailer's battery is going dead, there is a provided handle in which you can place down and easily lift or lower our trailer so you can still make your connection.
Conclusion
Getting an electric trailer jack is better off. Although a manual jack is still good, it all boils down to what you really need. A manual jack is fine on a light trailer you hitch up now and then. An electric jack earns its money on a heavy tongue, or when you are hitching and unhitching all day.
