Trailer tyres
Submitted by Sea goat on Sun, 2025-05-04 17:27
Hey guys. Might be a dumb question, but wondering what sort of jack you guys use when changing trailer tyres? Regular car jack ok? I'm heading up to Denham next week, so just want to make sure I'm prepared. Boat and trailer are about 3t, which exceeds the jack weight but I'm assuming since only lifting one wheel ok? Otherwise looks like only jacks that go that high are the trolley style which would be a bugger to have to transport!!
cheers!

I take a small bottle Jack and a few blocks of wood. It's stored more conveniently than getting out the car Jack.

Bottle jack is fine, but if
Bottle jack is fine, but if it's dual axle and non load sharing you'll be lifting half the trailer not 1 axle.
But even and 8T jack is cheap
