Founded in 1920, Bulldog has become the standard for heavy-duty trailer connection hardware in agricultural, military and utility service. The line covers gooseneck hitches and couplers, A-frame and channel-mount trailer couplers with the Wedge-Latch mechanism, and heavy-duty jacks, built for unmatched strength, reliability and safety under demanding loads.
Bulldog was founded in 1920 and has spent more than a century supplying the connection hardware that heavy trailers depend on. Its market has always been the demanding end: agricultural, military and utility applications where a coupler failure is not an inconvenience but a serious incident. The brand summarises its position as Tough and Tested, and it sits within the Horizon Global towing group alongside Reese, Draw-Tite, Fulton, Tekonsha, Bargman and Wesbar.
Gooseneck equipment is the brand's signature. Gooseneck hitches mount in the truck bed over the rear axle, which places the load where the chassis can carry it properly and allows far tighter turning than a receiver hitch permits. Matching gooseneck couplers attach at the trailer end, in round tube and square configurations across the capacity range used by livestock, equipment and flatbed trailers.
The conventional trailer coupler range is built around the Wedge-Latch mechanism, which uses a wedge to take up wear between coupler and ball rather than relying on a fixed clamp that loosens over time. That matters on a trailer accumulating hard miles, where slack in the coupling shows up as noise and shock loading. Couplers are offered in A-frame form for standard tongues and in channel-mount form for straight tongue and fabricated frames, with adjustable channel versions that let a coupler be positioned to suit the tongue height.
Heavy-duty jacks complete the line, sized for the tongue weights that gooseneck and equipment trailers generate. Across the range the emphasis is consistent: forged and heavy-section components, load ratings backed by testing, and hardware specified for agricultural, military and heavy-duty commercial use rather than occasional recreational towing.

A tongue jack is a device mounted to a trailer tongue that raises and lowers the front of the trailer for coupling, uncoupling, and ground clearance. The manual covers multiple types: bolt-on rack jacks, snap ring models, bolt-thru models, A-plate jacks, direct-mount jacks, and pivot tube jacks. They are available with side-wind or top-wind crank handles.
No. The manual explicitly states: "These jacks are not designed for mounting to round tongues." You must have a flat or rectangular tongue for proper installation.
No. A-plate jacks are designed specifically for trailers with A-plate couplers only. If your trailer has a different coupler type, you will need a different jack model.
Before mounting, confirm there will be no interference from the tow vehicle, tongue, ground, or any other mounted accessories while stationary or in motion. Check for interference in all positions including handle swing and swivel positions if applicable. Check for interference again after installation is complete.
Yes, if your jack requires welding. The manual states: "All welding must be performed by an AWS certified welder." This applies to direct-mount, A-plate, and pivot tube mounting types. Bolt-on models do not require welding.
Torque all mounting bolts to 25 ft. lbs. (3.5 m/kg). This applies to both rack jack gear housing bolts and mounting bracket bolts on bolt-on models.
The gap between the mounting bolts and the tongue must not exceed 1/16 inch (1.5 mm). The upper bolts should rest on the top of the tongue, and the lower bolts should be less than 1/16 inch from the bottom of the tongue.
1) Place the jack bracket over the mount. 2) Place the snap ring in the groove. 3) Seat the snap ring fully into the groove. Before installing, inspect the snap ring groove and remove any debris.
1) Place the jack bracket into the recessed opening on the mount. 2) Place the small end of the bushing into the jack bracket and onto the bolt. 3) Tighten the locknut until there is little movement in the bushing. The bolt should be installed between the trailer tongue and mount; the jack bracket will be held by the bushing between the locknut and the mount.
Use three 3/8-16 grade 5 bolts with washers and torque to 15-20 ft. lbs. (2-2.7 m/kg).
The manual does not state whether drilling is required. It assumes mounting holes already exist on the tongue corresponding to the tongue width. If holes do not exist, you will need to drill them, but the manual does not provide hole size specifications or drilling instructions.
No. The manual explicitly states: "Do not attempt to weld 'Bolt-On' brackets or straps to the tongue. Special brackets are available for 'Weld-On' applications." If you need a welded installation, you must use a weld-on model instead.
Use a 3/16 inch (4.8 mm) fillet weld. Weld 1 inch (2.5 cm) in 2 locations on both sides of the jack.
Use a 3/16 inch (4.8 mm) fillet weld for both the A-plate to the coupler and the support plate to the trailer frame.
Use a 3/16 inch (4.8 mm) fillet weld. Weld all around the pivot tube and align one set of pivot mount holes vertically.
Fully retract and rotate the jack before towing. If using an optional drop foot or caster, always remove it before towing to maximize ground clearance.
Crank the jack to the lowest position before manually moving the trailer.
No. These jacks are designed for vertical loading only. Excessive side forces may cause jack failure and must be avoided.
The jack capacity is limited to the lesser of the jack, footplate, or caster wheel capacity. Never exceed the maximum rated capacity. Refer to the stamped markings or decals on the product to obtain the rated capacity. If uncertain, contact Cequent Performance Products at 1-800-632-3290 or www.cequentgroup.com.
No. This product is not intended to be used as a transport device for the implement it is attached to. Minimize movement of the implement while the jack is under load.
Never position any part of your body under any portion of the product or the load being supported. Secure the load, vehicle and trailer from rolling by blocking the wheels when operating the jack or coupling the trailer. Do not allow children to play on or around the product or the load being supported.
The following procedures should be performed at least annually.
For side-wind models, the internal gearing and bushings must be kept lubricated. Apply a small amount of automotive grease to the internal gearing by removing the jack cover, or if equipped, use a needle nose applicator or standard grease gun on the lubrication point found on the side of the jack near the crank. Rotate the jack handle to distribute the grease evenly. A lightweight oil must be applied to the handle unit at both sides of the tube. If equipped, the axle bolt and nut assembly of the caster wheel must also be lubricated with the same lightweight oil.
For top-wind models, apply a lightweight oil to the screw stem.
If the product is used in a marine environment, flush the jack assembly and bushings with fresh water, and apply fresh lubricant.
The manual shows that bolt-on models include supplied bolts, locknuts, and a mounting bracket. The exact quantity and specifications depend on the specific model, which is not detailed in the manual.
Snap ring models include a snap ring and mounting bracket. The manual does not specify other included hardware.
Bolt-thru models include a bushing, locknut, and bolt. The manual does not specify whether the bolt is included or must be supplied separately.
A-plate installation requires three 3/8-16 grade 5 bolts with washers. A support plate is recommended to be welded to the bottom of the trailer frame. The manual does not specify whether these are included or must be purchased separately.
After installation is complete, check for interference again in all positions including handle swing and swivel positions if applicable. Also verify clearance of the handle, trailer light cables, and coupler.
