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. This manual covers multiple types: bolt-on rack jacks, snap ring models, bolt-thru models, A-plate jacks, direct-mount jacks, and pivot tube mounts. They are available with side-wind (crank handle on the side) or top-wind (crank handle on top) operation.
No. The manual explicitly states: 'These jacks are not designed for mounting to round tongues.' Tongue jacks are designed for square or rectangular tongues only.
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 mounting style (such as bolt-on, snap ring, bolt-thru, or direct-mount).
The gap between the mounting bolts and the tongue must not exceed 1/16 inch (1.5 mm). This applies to bolt-on mounting brackets. Proper alignment ensures secure fastening and prevents movement.
Bolt-on tongue jacks include supplied bolts and locknuts for securing the mounting bracket to the tongue. The upper bolts rest on the top of the tongue, and the lower bolts should be less than 1/16 inch from the bottom. All bolts are torqued to 25 ft. lbs.
A-plate jacks require three 3/8-16 grade 5 bolts with washers for bolting the A-plate to the coupler. If welding is used, a 3/16 inch fillet weld is required. A bottom support plate is recommended and should be welded to the bottom of the trailer frame using a 3/16 inch fillet weld. All welding must be performed by an AWS-certified welder.
Snap ring models include a snap ring that seats into a groove on the jack bracket. Bolt-thru models include a bushing, bolt, and locknut. For bolt-thru installation, the bolt is installed between the trailer tongue and mount, and the bushing is held between the locknut and the mount.
The manual does not specify standard tools required (such as wrenches or sockets). However, for welded installations, an AWS-certified welder is required. For bolt-on installations, you will need tools to tighten bolts and locknuts to 25 ft. lbs. torque. For A-plate installations, you will need a torque wrench to apply 15-20 ft. lbs. to the three 3/8-16 bolts.
Before mounting the jack, confirm that there will be no interference from the tow vehicle, tongue, ground, and any other mounted accessories while stationary or in motion. Check for interference in all positions, including handle swing and swivel positions if applicable. After installation is complete, check for interference again, specifically for clearance of the handle, trailer light cables, and coupler.
1) Place the gear housing on the tongue and insert the supplied bolts into holes corresponding to the tongue width. 2) Place the mounting bracket below the tongue with the flat surface against the tongue. 3) Secure with locknuts and torque to 25 ft. lbs. 4) Check for clearance of the handle, trailer light cables, and coupler.
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 the snap ring, 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.
1) All welding must be performed by an AWS-certified welder. 2) Place the jack at the desired location. 3) Weld 1 inch in 2 locations on both sides of the jack using a 3/16 inch fillet weld.
1) All welding must be performed by an AWS-certified welder. 2) The non-beveled side of the pivot tube is welded to the tongue unless otherwise specified. 3) Place the weld-on pivot tube against the tongue and weld all around with a 3/16 inch fillet weld. Align one set of pivot mount holes vertically. 4) Mate the jack to the pivot tube and secure with the supplied pin.
1) All welding must be performed by an AWS-certified welder. 2) If the A-plate is separate from the jack, align the jack (and foot, if equipped) with the jack and coupler as desired before welding. Use a 3/16 inch fillet weld. 3) Bolt the jack A-plate to the coupler using three 3/8-16 grade 5 bolts with washers, torqued to 15-20 ft. lbs. 4) Weld the recommended support plate to the bottom of the trailer frame using a 3/16 inch fillet weld. 5) If your jack is a plain mount type, it may be mounted directly to a coupler with a 3/16 inch fillet weld. 6) Rack jacks with a similar A-plate incorporated into their design may be attached according to these 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 bracket or a direct-mount jack instead.
All bolts and locknuts on bolt-on tongue jacks must be torqued to 25 ft. lbs. This applies to both rack jack installations and mounting bracket installations.
The three 3/8-16 grade 5 bolts with washers that secure the A-plate to the coupler must be torqued to 15-20 ft. lbs.
All welding must be performed by an AWS-certified welder. The standard fillet weld size is 3/16 inch. For direct-mount jacks, weld 1 inch in 2 locations on both sides of the jack. For pivot tube mounts, weld all around the tube. For A-plate installations, use a 3/16 inch fillet weld for both the A-plate and the support plate.
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. Before manually moving the trailer, crank the jack to the lowest position.
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.
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 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. Do not use the product as a transport device for the implement it is attached to; minimize movement of the implement while the jack is under load.
When using the drop foot or drop leg, make certain the supplied pin is fully inserted through both sides of the inner tube and the drop tube before using the jack. If using an optional drop foot or caster, always remove it before towing to maximize ground clearance. Never attempt to adjust the drop foot or drop leg when there is any load on the jack.
Make certain the pivot pin is fully inserted through both sides of the pivot tube and the pivot mount before using the jack.
Lock the plunger pin into a hole in the mounting bracket before raising or lowering the tongue.
Do not raise the gear housing above the inner tube. This prevents damage to the jack and ensures safe operation.
After installation is complete, check for interference again in all positions, including handle swing and swivel positions if applicable. Specifically verify clearance of the handle, trailer light cables, and coupler. Ensure all bolts are properly torqued and all welds are complete and sound.
The following procedures should be performed at least annually: For side-wind models, apply a small amount of automotive grease to the internal gearing and apply a lightweight oil to the handle unit at both sides of the tube. If equipped, lubricate the axle bolt and nut assembly of the caster wheel 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.
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. Apply a lightweight oil 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.
Apply a lightweight oil to the screw stem. This should be done 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, in addition to the standard maintenance procedures.
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 a heavy-duty caster, use 4 3/8 inch bolts, washers, and locknuts as shown in the manual. Note: Jack capacity is limited to the lesser of the jack or caster capacity.
1) Insert the long spacer into the roller followed by the thin spacer and the bolt. 2) Secure to the crank stem with the nut provided.
1) Place the washer over the screw stem and then place the handle over the screw stem. 2) Secure the handle to the screw stem with the bolt and nut provided.

Tongue jacks are available in multiple mounting types: bolt-on, snap ring, bolt-thru, A-plate, direct-mount, and pivot tube. A-plate jacks fit only trailers with A-plate couplers. Jacks cannot be mounted to round tongues. Confirm the correct mounting hole pattern for your tongue width (gap must not exceed 1/16 inch) and check for interference with the tow vehicle, ground, and accessories before installation.
Bolt-on models include supplied bolts and locknuts (torque to 25 ft. lbs.). A-plate models require three 3/8-16 grade 5 bolts with washers (torque to 15-20 ft. lbs.). Snap ring and bolt-thru models include the necessary hardware. Welded installations require an AWS-certified welder and 3/16 inch fillet welds.
No. Do not weld bolt-on brackets to the tongue. Special weld-on brackets are available for welded applications. Use direct-mount or pivot tube jacks for welded installations.
Bolt-on models: 25 ft. lbs. A-plate models: 15-20 ft. lbs. for the three 3/8-16 bolts. All welded installations must use 3/16 inch fillet welds performed by an AWS-certified welder.
Fully retract and rotate the jack. Remove any optional drop foot or caster before towing to maximize ground clearance. Crank the jack to the lowest position before manually moving the trailer.
At least annually. Side-wind models: apply automotive grease to internal gearing and lightweight oil to handle and caster axle. Top-wind models: apply lightweight oil to screw stem. In marine environments, flush with fresh water and apply fresh lubricant.
The snap ring must be fully seated in the groove to ensure the jack bracket is securely held. If it is not fully seated, the jack bracket may move or become loose during operation. Before installing, inspect the snap ring groove and remove any debris that may prevent full seating. Reposition the snap ring and ensure it is completely seated in the groove.
If the bushing moves excessively, tighten the locknut further until there is little movement in the bushing. The bushing should be held firmly between the locknut and the mount to keep the jack bracket in place.
Check for interference again after installation is complete in all positions, including handle swing and swivel positions if applicable. Specifically verify clearance of the handle, trailer light cables, and coupler. If interference is found, the jack may need to be repositioned or a different mounting type may be required. Consult with Cequent Performance Products at 1-800-632-3290 if repositioning is not possible.
The supplied pin must be fully inserted through both sides of the inner tube and the drop tube before using the jack. If the pin is not fully inserted, the drop foot may not function properly or may become loose during operation. Ensure the pin is completely inserted through both sides before using the jack.
The pivot pin must be fully inserted through both sides of the pivot tube and the pivot mount before using the jack. If the pin is not fully inserted, the jack may not pivot properly or may become loose during operation. Ensure the pin is completely inserted through both sides before using the jack.
The plunger pin must be locked into a hole in the mounting bracket before raising or lowering the tongue. If the pin is not locked, the jack may swivel unexpectedly during operation, creating a safety hazard. Always lock the plunger pin before operating the jack.
The manual does not directly address difficult cranking. However, the maintenance section specifies that side-wind models require annual lubrication of internal gearing with automotive grease and lightweight oil on the handle unit. Top-wind models require lightweight oil on the screw stem. If the jack is difficult to crank, ensure it has been properly lubricated according to the maintenance schedule. If lubrication does not resolve the issue, contact Cequent Performance Products at 1-800-632-3290.
Do not raise the gear housing above the inner tube on a rack jack. If the gear housing is already above the inner tube, lower it immediately by cranking the jack down. Raising the gear housing above the inner tube can damage the jack and create a safety hazard.
