It mounts either by bolting or welding, retracts fully for towing clearance and uses a top-wind crank for controlled raising and lowering. Designed to stand up to road salt, water and dirt, this jack is meant to extend the service life of your trailer and reduce hassle at the hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much weight can this A-frame jack safely support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CURT 28250 is engineered to hold a maximum static support weight of 5,000 lb and a lift (operational) capacity of 3,000 lb. These ratings mean it can support larger utility, boat or equipment trailers when parked or during coupling operations. Always confirm your trailer’s tongue weight and distribute loads properly before relying on any jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupport capacity: 5,000 lb (static)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLift capacity: 3,000 lb (while cranking)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCheck tongue weight relative to jack rating for safe use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the travel range and retracted height?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis jack offers 14-1\/8 inches of vertical travel, giving plenty of range to raise and lower couplers for hitching and leveling.

Installation is flexible — you can bolt it on using your preferred hardware or weld it directly to the tongue if a permanent mount is desired.

That finish helps minimize surface rust and keeps moving parts functioning reliably with routine maintenance. Wiping, occasional lubrication of the screw and storing the trailer under cover when possible will extend service life even further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDurable black powder coat for exterior protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated parts reduce corrosion on critical contacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSimple upkeep: clean and lubricate screw periodically\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho this is for: The CURT 28250 is suited for owners of A-frame trailers—boat trailers, utility rigs, livestock trailers and similar—who need a rugged, non-swivel jack with high static support and reliable retraction. Choose this jack if you want sturdy lifting capacity, a top-wind crank for controlled operation, and a finish built to withstand road and waterfront conditions. If you require a swing-away or swivel feature for storage, consider CURT swivel models instead; otherwise, the 28250 is a practical, long-lasting solution for secure trailer support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can the CURT 28250 be welded to my trailer?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
