CURT Top Wind A-Frame Trailer Jack 28200 — 3,000 lb Support, 2,000 lb Lift, 14" Travel

The CURT 28200 Top Wind A-Frame Jack is a heavy-duty trailer tongue jack built for A-frame trailers, offering 3,000 lb support capacity, 2,000 lb lift capacity, and 14 inches of vertical travel with a top-wind handle.

Designed for boat trailers, utility trailers, RVs and other A-frame tongues, this CURT jack combines rugged materials and corrosion-resistant finishes for long service life. It bolts or can be welded to your trailer frame and retracts fully to clear the road for safe towing. The top-wind handle with integrated grip simplifies hitching and unhitching while the compact retracted profile minimizes drag and interference.

How much weight can this jack safely support and lift?

The CURT 28200 is engineered with distinct support and lift ratings to match common trailer needs. It provides a support capacity of 3,000 pounds and a lift capacity of 2,000 pounds—adequate for many single-axle and light tandem-axle trailers when used within those limits. Always ensure your trailer’s tongue weight stays within the jack’s rated capacities for safe operation.

• Support capacity: 3,000 lb (static support)
• Lift capacity: 2,000 lb (raising the trailer coupler)
• Intended for A-frame trailer tongues and receiver-style trailers

What is the travel range and how compact does it get for towing?

This top-wind jack delivers 14-1/4 inches of vertical movement, giving enough adjustment to level and couple most trailers. Its retracted height is 8-1/4 inches so it tucks up for towing, and fully extended it reaches 22-1/2 inches. The full retraction feature is important to ensure clearance and safe travel when the jack is not in use.

• Vertical travel: 14-1/4 inches
• Retracted height: 8-1/4 inches (low-profile for towing)
• Extended height: 22-1/2 inches for hitching and leveling

How does the top-wind handle perform and what makes it user-friendly?

The CURT 28200 uses a top-wind mechanism that places the handle on top of the jack tube for convenient operation from a standing position. The integrated grip on the handle improves comfort and control while raising or lowering the coupler. Top-wind jacks are straightforward to operate and reduce bending compared with some side-crank designs.

• Top-wind handle for comfortable, upright use
• Integrated grip on the handle for better control
• Smooth raise/lower action suited to routine trailer tasks

What materials and finishes protect the jack from corrosion?

CURT applies corrosion-resistant coatings to extend the jack’s life in wet or salty conditions. A durable black powder coat covers the main body while zinc-plated components add extra rust protection where needed. These finishes help resist road grime, water and seasonal salts so the jack keeps functioning with less maintenance.

• Black powder-coat exterior for abrasion resistance
• Zinc-plated parts for added corrosion protection
• Suitable for launches, campgrounds and general trailer use

Who is this for: The CURT 28200 Top Wind A-Frame Jack is aimed at trailer owners who want a reliable, low-profile jack for A-frame tongues—boat owners, contractors, weekend haulers and recreational trailer users who need a robust support and lifting solution. If you need a bolt-on or weld-on jack with clear retraction for towing and a simple top-wind operation, this model is a practical choice that balances strength, convenience and corrosion resistance.
