How do you recommend propping up the trailer for installation?
We suggest using your existing jack, a stabilizer block, jack stands, or wood blocks. You'll need at least 16–18 inches of clearance to properly install the JX.
Do I need to grease the gears before use?
No, the JX comes pre-lubricated. We recommend greasing the internal acme rod every 90 days using the grease fitting near the drive shaft. General-purpose grease can also be applied directly to the miter gears by removing the gearbox cap if needed.
What is the load capacity of the 7KJX?
Static capacity: 7,000 lbs
Lift (manual crank): 1,800 lbs
Lift (with power drill): 900 lbs
What is the recommended drill torque setting?
Use the lowest torque setting that can still lift your trailer. Heavier loads may require a higher torque setting. Always engage the drill slowly to prevent sudden strain on the gears.
Does the JX come with a caster wheel?
No, a caster wheel is not available for the JX 7K model at this time.
Does the JX come with bolts for installation?
Yes, bolts are included for trailer tongues up to 3.75 inches thick. Longer bolts may be substituted if required.
How much does the JX weigh?
The unit weighs approximately 27.5 lbs.
Can the JX be submerged in water?
Submerging the unit is not recommended as it may erode internal lubricants. If exposed to salt water, rinse thoroughly with fresh water after use.
Can the JX be stored outdoors?
Yes, the JX features three layers of weather protection and is designed to be stored outdoors along with your trailer.
What kind of drill should I use with the JX?
Use any 20–24V compact, non-impact drill. Higher voltage models are recommended for better performance on heavier loads.
Is there a standard socket that can be used as an electric drill attachment?
No. Only the Trailer Valet-specific drill attachment is recommended. It is specially designed for a snug fit on the JX driveshaft. Using a standard socket may cause breakage and damage the unit.
