Trailer Jack Crank Handle Tips (Canada)

Towing

The crank handle is how most manual tongue jacks move. Keep it seated on the input, replace a rounded handle, and never leave a loose handle where it can catch on the tow vehicle.

Operation

Chock first. Crank with steady pressure. If the jack binds, stop and find the bend or debris instead of forcing it.

Storage

Stow the handle in its clip so it cannot snag. A missing handle on a remote ramp ruins the day — keep a spare if the trailer travels far.
