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.

These jacks are designed for rectangular/square trailer tongues. They are not designed for mounting to round tongues. Correct mounting hole pattern must match your tongue size, with the gap between mounting bolts and tongue not exceeding 1/16 inch.
No drilling is required for bolt-on models. The jack uses existing or pre-drilled holes in the tongue and mounting straps. You align the holes and insert the supplied bolts, then secure with locknuts torqued to 25 ft. lbs.
Torque all mounting bolts to 25 ft. lbs. (3.5 m/kg) using locknuts. This applies to both rack jack and standard bolt-on mounting bracket installations.
The manual does not explicitly state whether the tongue must be removed. However, the bolt-on installation procedure describes placing the jack against the tongue and positioning mounting straps on the opposite side, suggesting installation can be done with the tongue in place. Consult the manufacturer or your installer if uncertain.
The manual does not specify required tools. Based on the installation steps, you will need tools to insert and tighten bolts and locknuts (likely a wrench or socket set), and a torque wrench to achieve 25 ft. lbs. torque specification.
The manual does not specify whether professional installation is required for bolt-on models. However, the installation procedure is straightforward: align holes, insert bolts, and torque to 25 ft. lbs. Weld-on installations must be performed by an AWS certified welder.
Yes. If using an optional drop foot or caster, always remove it before towing to maximize ground clearance.
Fully retract and rotate the jack before towing. Additionally, crank the jack to its lowest position before manually moving the trailer.
Maintenance procedures should be performed at least annually. For side-wind models, apply automotive grease to internal gearing and lightweight oil to the handle at both sides of the tube. For top-wind models, apply lightweight oil to the screw stem. In marine environments, flush with fresh water and apply fresh lubricant.
Bulldog and Fulton brand jacks are warranted for five years. Pro-Series jacks are warranted for one year. Warranty covers material defects in materials and workmanship, normal wear and tear excepted, and is valid only if installation and use comply with product instructions. Warranty is not transferable.
The model number is F3282ML, Revision C, publication 12642.
No. These jacks are not designed for mounting to round tongues. They are designed for rectangular or square tongues with the correct mounting hole pattern.
The gap between the mounting bolts and the tongue must not exceed 1/16 inch (1.5 mm). This applies to bolt-on mounting bracket installations.
The upper bolts should rest on the top of the tongue. The lower bolts should be less than 1/16 inch from the bottom of the tongue. This ensures proper alignment and load distribution.
After installation, check for clearance of the handle, trailer light cables, and coupler. Also verify there is no interference from the tow vehicle, tongue, ground, or any other mounted accessories while stationary or in motion, including handle swing and swivel positions if applicable.
A snap ring model jack uses a snap ring (retaining ring) for attachment instead of bolts. To install: place the jack bracket over the mount, place the snap ring in the groove, and seat the snap ring fully into the groove. Before installing, inspect the snap ring groove and remove any debris.
A bolt-thru model jack uses a bushing and locknut for attachment. To install: place the jack bracket into the recessed opening on the mount, place the small end of the bushing into the jack bracket and onto the bolt, then tighten the locknut until there is little movement in the bushing. The bolt should be installed between the trailer tongue and mount, with the jack bracket held by the bushing between the locknut and the mount.
A-plate jacks are designed for mounting to trailers with A-plate couplers. The A-plate can be separate from the jack or incorporated into the jack design. It is recommended to attach a bottom support plate to the bottom of the tongue for additional strength.
Use three 3/8-16 grade 5 bolts with washers, torqued to 15-20 ft. lbs. (2-2.7 m/kg).
No. 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, contact the manufacturer for appropriate weld-on brackets.
All welding must be performed by an AWS (American Welding Society) certified welder. This applies to direct-mount, A-plate, and pivot tube weld-on installations.
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 coupler connection and the support plate to trailer frame connection.
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.
The non-beveled side of the pivot tube is welded to the tongue, unless otherwise specified on the hardware.
After the pivot tube is welded to the tongue, mate the jack to the pivot tube and secure with the supplied pivot pin. The pin must be fully inserted through both sides of the pivot tube and the pivot mount.
A swivel jack is a jack that can rotate. Before raising or lowering the tongue, lock the plunger pin into a hole in the mounting bracket to prevent unwanted rotation.
A drop foot or drop leg is an optional accessory that extends below the jack to provide additional ground support. When using it, ensure the supplied pin is fully inserted through both sides of the inner tube and the drop tube before using the jack. Always remove the drop foot or drop leg before towing to maximize ground clearance.
No. Never attempt to adjust the drop foot or drop leg when there is any load on the jack. This could cause injury or damage.
A rack jack is a type of tongue jack with a gear housing and inner tube design. Do not raise the gear housing above the inner tube, as this can cause damage or failure.
To attach a wheel assembly: 1) Insert the long spacer into the wheel. 2) Set the wheel into the caster body and place the bolt through the caster body and wheel. 3) Secure with the nut provided. For heavy duty casters, use 4 3/8-inch bolts, washers, and locknuts.
For side-wind handles: Insert the long spacer into the roller, followed by the thin spacer and the bolt, then secure to the crank stem with the nut provided. For top-wind handles: Place the washer over the screw stem, place the handle over the screw stem, then secure with the bolt and nut provided.
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 1-800-521-0510 or www.cequentgroup.com.
These jacks are designed for vertical loading only. Excessive side forces may cause jack failure and must be avoided.
Never position any part of your body under any portion of the jack 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 jack or load. Minimize movement of the implement while the jack is under load.
After installation is complete, check for interference again in all positions, including handle swing and swivel positions if applicable. Verify clearance of the handle, trailer light cables, and coupler. Ensure there is no interference from the tow vehicle, tongue, ground, or any other mounted accessories while stationary or in motion.
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. Perform this at least annually.
Apply a lightweight oil to the handle unit at both sides of the tube for side-wind models. Perform this at least annually.
Apply a lightweight oil to the screw stem. Perform this at least annually.
If equipped, the axle bolt and nut assembly of the caster wheel must be lubricated with lightweight oil. Perform this at least annually.
If the product is used in a marine environment, flush the jack assembly and bushings with fresh water, and apply fresh lubricant. This should be done at least annually.
Always replace bent, broken, or worn parts before using the product. This ensures safe and reliable operation.

Before installing the snap ring, inspect the snap ring groove and remove any debris. Seat the snap ring fully into the groove to ensure it is completely seated. If it becomes loose, remove it, clean the groove, and reinstall it, ensuring it is fully seated. If the groove is damaged, the jack may need to be replaced.
Tighten the locknut until there is little movement in the bushing. If movement persists after tightening, the bushing or bolt may be worn and require replacement. Contact Cequent Performance Products at 1-800-521-0510 for replacement parts.
Before installing, check for interference in all positions, including handle swing and swivel positions if applicable. After installation is complete, check for interference again. If interference is found, the jack may need to be repositioned, or a different mounting style may be required. Consult the manufacturer or your installer for alternative mounting options.
