Reese Tongue Jacks

Reese Tongue Jacks: Trusted Support from a Towing Industry Leader

When it comes to hitching up and heading out, every detail of your trailer setup matters — and the tongue jack is no exception. Reese, a brand that has been engineering towing solutions since 1952, brings that same depth of expertise to its line of tongue jacks. Whether you're managing a lightweight boat trailer or a heavier utility rig, Reese tongue jacks are engineered to deliver reliable, repeatable performance every time you need to couple or decouple your trailer.

Engineering Built on Decades of Towing Experience

Founded in 1952, Reese has grown into one of the most recognized names in the towing industry. The brand's tongue jacks reflect this long heritage: they are constructed from heavy-gauge steel with features like rolled acme threads and anti-friction thrust bearings that make cranking smooth even under load. Protective finishes — including black powder coat and clear zinc plating — guard against corrosion and the harsh conditions that marine, agricultural, and outdoor trailers routinely encounter.

Key Features of Reese Tongue Jacks

• Multiple mounting styles: Reese offers both side-mount and A-frame configurations, including bolt-on and weld-on options, giving you flexibility for nearly any trailer tongue design.
• Swivel mechanism with pull-pin release: The heavy-duty swivel design lets you swing the jack out of the way when it's not needed, keeping it safe and out of harm's way during transport.
• Sidewind and topwind handle options: A side-winding handle with a wire-grip knob operates with a 1:1 gear ratio for fast, smooth lifting, while topwind models suit A-frame trailer tongues where a top-mounted crank is more ergonomic.
• Wide capacity range: Reese tongue jacks span a broad range of weight ratings — from 1,000 lb. side-mount jacks suited for marine and utility trailers up to heavy-duty square jacks rated at 8,000 lbs. for serious hauling applications.
• Integrated wheel options: Many models include a 6-inch poly or solid molded wheel, making it easy to maneuver the trailer tongue into the hitch ball without scuffing the ground or straining your back.
• Accessories: Reese also offers tongue jack support feet — removable lock-pin designs rated 2,000–5,000 lbs. — for added stability when the trailer is parked or loaded.

Designed for Real-World Trailer Applications

Reese engineers its tongue jacks with the understanding that trailers are used across a wide spectrum of applications. The Pro Series line, developed under the broader Reese umbrella, is purpose-built for marine and utility trailers and features a retaining ring swivel mount designed for minimal deflection and maximum lateral support — an important quality consideration when a heavily loaded trailer is sitting on its jack for extended periods. The clear zinc finish on Pro Series models adds a layer of corrosion resistance that is especially valuable in wet, salty marine environments.

For those with A-frame trailer tongues — common on boat trailers, camping trailers, and utility haulers — Reese's A-frame topwind jacks provide a 2,000 lb. lift capacity with up to 14 inches of travel, primed inner and outer jack tubes for rust resistance, and a foot plate for added ground stability.
