It can be quickly installed or replaced without welding, which is especially suitable for DIY enthusiasts or light modified trailer users. It has a simple structure and is easy to maintain, making it the first choice for many home users.

3. Side Crank Jack

The side crank hand-crank design is easy to operate and is suitable for scenes with compact space or special requirements for operating angles. It is often used with a floor-standing base to improve stability.
