Lippert Components Quick Drop 2,000 lb Top-Wind Tongue Jack - Black, 14" Travel with 3/4" Drill-Ready Hex

The Lippert Quick Drop Tongue Jack is a 2,000 lb capacity, top-wind A-frame jack that works manually or with a 3/4" drill for faster hitching and leveling. Whether you tow a travel trailer, cargo trailer, or 5th wheel, this compact top-wind jack from Lippert Components blends the simplicity of a manual crank with the speed of a power tool. It’s built to give you the option to operate by hand when needed, or attach a standard 3/4" hex drill to extend or retract the jack quickly—handy when you’re parked away from shore power or want to save time at a campsite. The powder-coated black finish and included footpad and locking pin add durability and stability for routine towing tasks.

How does this jack speed up hitching when there’s no 12V power available?

You can use a common cordless drill on the jack’s 3/4" hex nut to drive the mechanism instead of cranking by hand. That converts what can be several minutes of manual winding into a few quick seconds with a drill, letting you hitch or level without needing vehicle or campsite power.

• 3/4" hex nut accepts most cordless or corded drills.
• Quick conversion between manual crank and drill-powered operation.
• Ideal for remote parking spots or quick setup at campgrounds.

What are the load and travel specifications I should know?

This jack handles up to 2,000 pounds and delivers a 14" vertical travel, suitable for many A-frame travel trailers, cargo trailers, and smaller 5th wheel applications. The 5.4" removable footpad improves ground contact and stability on gravel or soft ground while the locking pin secures the leg when retracted.

• 2,000 lb load capacity for common trailer tongues.
• 14" stroke to cover typical height adjustments.
• 5.4" footpad for wider ground support; removable for tight storage.

How durable is the jack for long-term outdoor use?

Lippert finished the jack in a black powder-coat that helps resist corrosion, chips, and wear from outdoor exposure. The construction is engineered for regular towing use, and the simple mechanical design makes maintenance and inspection straightforward.

• Powder-coated steel resists rust and outdoor wear.
• Simple top-wind mechanism is easy to inspect and service.
• Removable components (footpad, locking pin) simplify replacement if needed.

Can I still operate the jack manually if my drill battery dies?

Yes — manual operation is always available via the top-wind crank, so you’re never stuck without a way to raise or lower the trailer. That dual-mode capability provides redundancy and flexibility for different towing situations.

• Manual crank remains fully usable at any time.
• Switch between power and manual in seconds with no tools required.
• Dependable backup when power tools or vehicle batteries aren’t an option.

Who is this for This jack is designed for trailer owners who want a durable, budget-friendly upgrade from a basic manual jack without committing to a fully electric unit. It’s ideal for weekend campers, contractors with cargo trailers, and RV owners who need quick setup away from power sources. If you value flexibility—fast drill-assisted operation plus manual backup—this Lippert Quick Drop Tongue Jack balances cost, convenience, and ruggedness for everyday towing tasks.
