Even the options available to make the customers installation easier from mounting brackets designed to fit specific horse trailer manufacturers to the industry exclusive hand pump override insuring you are not stuck because of a dead or low battery.

You’ll love the freedom and the stress relief— you’ll be unloading your horses, while your friends are still jumping up and down on their hitch trying to disconnect! What Does It Take To Install? Depending on how the manual jacks are mounted, installation should only take 2-4 hours and then you can enjoy it for many stress free years to come! In a lot of cases it is as easy as unbolting the manual jacks on the trailer, and bolting the new hydraulic jacks in their place. Then it is a matter of hooking up the hoses from the pump to the legs, running the wires to the battery and running the system several times to purge, or get all the air out of it. How Do I Know If I Need The “Single” or the “Dual" What is the difference? The general rule of thumb for determining if you need a dual or single leg system, is based on what manual system was on the trailer. A single leg system is going to be used for the basic purpose of lifting and lowering the trailer off and onto the ball in your truck. With the dual leg system, the main purpose is also the lifting and lowering, but it also provides a more stability at the front of the trailer since each leg is mounted towards the ends of the front wall as opposed to the center of the front wall like the single leg system. Don’t worry, just talk to us by phone and we’ll make sure you have the right system for you!! What Advantages Do The Auto Level Option Offer To Horse Owners? For the horse trailer owner who wants all the bells and whistles, EQ Systems offers both a 4 point and 6 point auto level system. Just because you have to park out in an uneven field, that does not mean your trailer has to be unlevel. With just a touch of a button the EQ Systems Auto Level system will have your trailer level and stabilized. What Do These Systems Cost?

Our systems start from an affordable $895 up to $1655—with several prices in between... depending on which system you decide upon. The EQ System can make all the difference in stress, and comfort to both you and the horses you are hauling. So What Do Horse Owners Say About Their Equalizer Systems?

What exactly is the EQ Systems hydraulic jack?

It is a powered, push-button lifting leg that bolts onto the front of a gooseneck or bumper-pull horse trailer in place of the old crank jack. The flagship single-leg model is the AJ Hydraulic Trailer Jack (SKU 8470UPS, $995.00), built around a 3.5″ x 3.5″ square tube-in-tube body with a 2″ cylinder bore. It delivers an 8,000 lb capacity and a full 24-inch stroke, retracting to 35.5″ and extending to 59.5″ so it clears even uneven campground ground. For heavier rigs there are dual-leg systems like the AJ 2/24 (8414AM, 16,000 lbs, $1,795.00) and the AM 2/24 w/Manual Override Hand Pump (8176AMUPS, 24,000 lbs, $2,595.00).

Who makes EQ Systems jacks?

EQ Systems® is an EQ United company based at 19300 Grange St, Cassopolis, MI 49031, and every jack is designed and manufactured in Michigan. The brand was formerly known as Equalizer Systems and has been engineering hydraulic lifting and leveling equipment since the 1990s. They introduced hydraulic jacks to the horse industry roughly twenty years ago, and trailer manufacturers spec them because they are dependable and easy to service. You can reach the company toll-free at or locally.

How does the push-button system actually work?

The AJ jack pairs a commercial single-function hydraulic pump with a weatherproof single-switch gear control with key. Press the switch and the cylinder drives the leg down to lift the gooseneck and disengage the hitch in seconds, with no cranking. Wire harnesses are sheathed in PVC high-temperature nylon braid, and a steel pump cover protects the works from road grime and weather. A manual-override screw drive is built in, so if power is ever lost you can still raise or lower the trailer by hand.

What is it built from, and what ships in the box?
The jack is a welded steel tube-in-tube design where the outer tube shields the cylinder from lateral movement, mounted on universal brackets engineered to bolt to the center tube of a gooseneck. It is rated to support living-quarters trailers with a short wall up to 11 feet. Note that the unit does not come with hydraulic fluid or mounting bolts; bolt kits are sold separately online. An optional Solar Panel Kit for AJ Hydraulic Trailer Jacks ($146.48) keeps the battery topped off so the jack stays ready to lift even after weeks parked off-grid.

Who needs this jack?

Anyone who hauls horses to shows, trail rides, camping trips, or the vet and is tired of muscling a manual crank. Because the work is done by hydraulics, anyone who can press a button can disconnect a trailer, putting setup within reach of women, younger riders, and anyone without heavy upper-body strength. Installation is straightforward: unbolt the old manual jack and bolt the automatic unit in its place. EQ Systems backs owners with dedicated service techs and a nationwide dealer network.

How do you buy or get one installed?

Jacks are sold directly through the EQ Systems online store at eqsystems.us/shop, with separate single-leg, dual-leg, and bumper-pull categories for horse trailers. If you are unsure which capacity and stroke fit your rig, call the sales department and an EQ Systems Account Manager will help you match the system; the company also performs professional installation at its Cassopolis, Michigan facility, complete with electrical hookups and pet-friendly accommodations. Systems carry a one- or two-year warranty depending on model, and replacement parts are covered for the remainder of the original warranty or 90 days, whichever is longer.
