Jacking Your Trailer
Your trailer is tted with purpose built jacking points and from January 2021 supplied with a suitable jack. An
appropriately rated bottle jack is an acceptable alternative, however when using the jacking point beneath the trailing
arm ensure the jack is of a retracted height that will t under the jacking point when the tire is deated. A suitably rated
“High Lift” jack may be used on the jacking points on the side of the body behind the wheels provided it has the correct
positive engagement tting to match the trailer. To ensure safe usage the following must be followed:
• The jack is to be used on level rm ground wherever possible.
• The wheels of the trailer should be chocked, and no person should remain inside the trailer whilst it
is being jacked.
• No person should place any portion of their body under a trailer that is supported by a jack.
• The trailer should be attached to the towing vehicle whilst being jacked.
• When performing maintenance ensure suitably rated jack stands are used – do not rely on the trailer
being supported by the jack.
