I see this has a 5k lbs weight rating. Can it hold up a fifth wheel without the jacks for a short period or is the rating garbage?

I would say, No. I tried it with mine and the Camco seemed ready to bend, and myforward jacks were not yet off the ground. I stopped before doing damage. Seemsto stabilize the front quite nicely, but not strong enough to hold the full weight.

I would also say NO! They seem to do a great job stabilizing the front end from sway and bounce, but not heavy duty enough for full weight support.

It is only made to stabilize the trailer not hold the hitch weight this is stated in the set up instructions that come with king pin so NO I would not take any chance with it use only for what it was designed for stabilizer not jack

I never really tried to use just the 5 th wheel brace without the jacks. But with the chain it should hold for a short period

Look at the pin weight on your unit, it should be under the 5k but I would still only leave it for a short time and not be in the unit at the time.

First, the wheel I bought has only 5 spokes not 6. Even so, I believe that it would not hold up due to the thinness of the spokes. The sears models seem to have more substantial wheels.

Not very good for 4 wheeling. Must be on level ground....otherwise it will b OK

This has plenty of capacity for any 5th wheel because it's ONLY used to STABILIZE the front of the 5th Wheel. It is NOT designed to support the entire weight of the front of the 5th Wheel. That is what the front two supports are for. It works pretty well at that.

For a 5th wheel, just one for the rear. They can accommodate for uneven ground as they are hinged in two locations on each side. IMHO they do not have the same load capacity of tri-pod jack stands. But they do a better job of mitigating the lateral rocking. I use both types of stands when I set up. This one under the bumper and the tripods as slide out supports. This combination has made a big difference, especially with the bunk house slide out in the rear.

The description says it can handle 5,000 lbs trailer weight & 500 lbs tongue weight so you should be ok. It is stout & the welds on mine are well done.

I converted my harley davidson sportster into a trike and it lifted it up easily, the only thing is that you will need to watch out because I would not trust leaving your motorcycle lifted on both wheels with this jack, I would buy a more professional one for this matter. It looks like the motorcycle can tip over.

It's a cast metal & I imagine it would hold up to 10lbs or more & I believe it was rated for 20lbs but don't hold me to that figure.It will not hold a Human & will snap right off and possibly injure someone! If you need to carry more than that I would get on that has axle mount support rods!

it worked great but whatever you do, block whatever your lifting. My trailer moved just a little and it fell off the jack. The jack was totally destroyed, as a result of twisting as it fell. I can send a picture of the damage, if you want me to. I'm very handy but could find no way to fix it. Having said that though, I still bought a replacement. I'm 76 years old and it sure make jacking things up EASY !!! I can e-mail a picture if you e-mail me at hank-g1@hotmail.com

Hay Gary . . . It is not real heavy but I have put this cart to the test this year . . . The metal rims are tough . . . Get the balance right and this cart will wheal right behind you . . . My crew ad I have pulled 5 deer and 2i hogs and most of it was on this cart some multiple hauls behind the 4 wheeler. I will be getting another one as a back up. Not real big not real small . . . Hope this helps.

Glad you asked. I contacted the Green Group LLC by email and asked them the same question. The response I got was that it should have no problem holding up to 350 lbs. However having said that, I would caution you that that is the rating for all 5 wheels TOTAL. So, if you are like me and like to lean back in your chair, you will be putting all that weight on 1 or 2 of the legs. I did this for a year and one of my legs broke at the weld. When that happened, I immediately ordered a new one. I now sit in my chair with the lean lever in the lock position so I can't lean back. I really like the look of the chrome vs the black one's that usually come with a chair. Just remember to remove your wheels from your old base to transfer to your new base.

it should work, jack is rated to 3,500 lbs,,,do you know the tounge weight of your trailer??? pretty sure it's well below 3,500 lbs. works great on my trailer, up and down with ease but mine is only a 20".

I can answer that question for myself: No. But I see no reason why it couldn't be used for that purpose. The jack is easily strong enough to handle that amount of weight. For the sake of safety, it would be in your best interests to chock the rear wheels and keep them on the ground

I have a set installed on the front jacks of my 8000 lb. 5th wheel. All the weight is on the wheels & jacks. The stabilizer bars help to minimize sway in the trailer while parked. I'm pleased with results.

"I am looking to use this to wheel items to and from a car . . . Why do y think the wheels will hold up?"I don't know about the wheels holding up, I pushed this cart with about 10 lbs of stuff on it and since it was a smooth floor, nothing fell down and it was easy to push. If the area between your car and where you're loading the stuff from has small rocks/gravel, then I don't think there'll be stable enough to support the cart and it will tip over.

I see no reason why it wouldn't work on a 32ft fifth wheel. You may have to have a booster but I would try it first without.

kimdon't know for sure but know it held up under a full wheelbarrow of 2 50 lb bags of top soil. would definitely hold up on a payload of at least 100 lbs.hope that helps.
