Question 1

what is the max weight that this can handle?

Accepted Answer

I'm not an engineer, so I can't directly answer that question.  My travel trailer is between 3000 and 3500 # (depending on the load) and the jack lifts and supports the wheel.  If I need to lift it several inches it can take a while to crank it by hand, but it does a fine job getting the trailer level.  I have recently tried using an impact drill to raise the jack (because this type of drill does not twist your wrist) but there were some problems with that approach.  The jack-screw started to show signs of metel shavings which might mean I am near the limit of the jack's weight load.  That said - I would buy another one of these if this one breaks.  If you get one you might also want to buy a large pizza-delivery bag to store it in.  Works perfect.

Question 2

Does it take a lot of muscle to use this? I am looking for a small, middle aged woman to use easily to level a 2k lb trailer side-to-side.

Accepted Answer

I'm a 40 yo woman that has used it for over a year. I agree to get a better, longer wrench. I don't have a longer wrench, it does get more difficult to raise the higher you go, but I manage my 2600lbs trailer.

Question 3

Will this work with 15" off-road style tires such as those used on a Coachmen V-Trec?

Accepted Answer

I have used a BAL leveler on a 27.6" 15" tire for many years (Kumho off-Road truck tires). Have to remember, although the tire is 27.6 diameter it is only about 27.1" where the tire actually hits the leveler; the 27.6 is max width from side to side. Also, the screw has lasted for six years and now I am going to replace it. And the still using the standard ratchet that came with the leveler.

Question 4

what is the max trailer weight

Accepted Answer

BAL publishes no weight limit. Their web site says "light trailer" whatever "light" means.
My trailer is just a bit over one ton and the BAL lifts it with ease.
