I have wondered why the trailers with it's own air compressor for the rear suspension don't utilize this same compressor and reservoir tanks to supply an air cylinder or bag to jack/lift the trailer off the hitch ball. Once the trailer is lifted off the hitch and then lowered, there would need to be a way to lock it in place to keep it steady, or else it would pogo up and down as people and/or creature/critters entered and exited the trailer.

I heard from a trailer company that something new was coming out in the next few months I am exited to see what it is.
Drew... I find your postings posing as a third party disingenuous.Instead of being deceitful, just come out and say you’re selling a trailer jack that could be of interest to us.
I’ve found this forum audience to be particularly harsh to poseurs and incompetents. You will too.

all right heres the deal.....i had my eq jack in at a dealer and talking with eq systems they couldnt figure out the problem so i had to send the manifold and pump back to eq systems for them to look at if they cant fix it i have to buy a new one can you believe that its 4 years old and its shot what a piece of shit....... i will never buy a nother one if its shot/......i might go to an electric one instead of a hydraulic one plus there cheaper....i would think that a jack should last longer then 4 years....and the warranty is only 3 years...... man am i mad....

Can it not be fixed? It's a little hydraulic pump and some lines and valves, can't be but so much wrong with it... You ain't going to make me believe it's "shot".... Maybe it's got a stuck relief valve from not using it in the winter, pump motor is dragging, e.i., low voltage, bad ground, etc... Wrong fluid??? Anyway, for less than $200.00 all your worries can be over.... You can go the ARM-STRONG route. http://totaltrailerparts.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=219&products_id=2297
Good luck getting it fixed.... maybe take it to your local hydraulic repair shop.... The folks that rebuild pumps and cylinders, leave it on the trailer so they can see exactly what it's doing... Keep us informed on what you find out, there's several of us here that have Hydraulic landing gear.

no the batteries are new..thetrailer place talked to the equalizer systems trouble shooting team on the phone they told the trailer place what to do and nothiung got fixed so eq systems said we cant think of anything else to do i guess you have to send it to us and well look at it so i did they said the pump or the manifold is shot and i need to buy a new pump or manifold which is 900 dollars and it comes with a 3 month warranty yea like im going to spend 900 dollars on a 3 month warranty id be better off spending an extra 600 and getting a new one with a 3 year warranty.... i now i still cant believe that they say its shot it really pisses me off......
