Had to look into how the flip jack worked. Like it. Do you feel like its strong enough Mike?
Yes, I do. It rated at a Max Tongue Weight of 1400 Lbs.
Just a note....I installed one of those Fastway Flip Jacks on our rig...used it twice. On its third use it collapsed and dropped my trailer tongue on the ground....(I had the heavy duty model rated for much more weight than my scaled, loaded tongue weight.)
Called Fastway...they wanted pictures and the jack back to send to their R and D dept. They refunded my money with lots of apologies.
Verdict: faulty weld on the plate that the tongue jack sits on.
This is the third Flip Jack I've purchased, with no problems at all. That's not to say there may be defects with anything made.
All look good but I prefer a padlock on the coupler. Anything to slow down a thief.
No need to lock it. It's stored in my back yard inside an enclosed metal building when not in use. Besides, padlocks are
no good with a persistent thief.
If I were to park it somewhere unattended,I would do what's necessary to secure it from theft.
