The Barker VIP 3000 and VIP 3500 are electric A-frame trailer tongue jacks with a built-in level, night light and emergency manual crank. Their outer housings look similar, but the 3,000 lb and 3,500 lb models use different motors and torque limiters. Use the model number on the jack to identify the right service components.

Complete Barker VIP power jacks

VIP 3000: 30826 (white) or 32453 (black), both with an 18-inch stroke. VIP 3500: 30828 (white) is the 18-inch version shown here; Barker also identifies 32454 as the black 18-inch model in the factory guide. Match the full model number and required tongue weight capacity before choosing a complete replacement jack.

Barker VIP 3000 and VIP 3500 exploded diagrams

Barker publishes separate numbered parts diagrams for the two lifting capacities. The third page of each factory manual identifies the motor, switches, torque limiter, gear drive, footplate and manual crank. Use the diagram for the model stamped on your jack.

Compare factory repair-part numbers

The same part may be shown under different callout numbers in the two exploded diagrams. The table below keeps those references separate, and links the matching parts listed in this store.

Which jack switch needs replacing?

Barker identifies 736-2300 as the raise/lower control on both jack families. The separate 736-0008 switch turns the night light on and off. Do not select the lift switch based only on its shape: the Hi-Power ball-screw jacks have different switch arrangements.

Footplate and emergency crank

The 21349 base/footplate appears in both factory VIP diagrams. It is secured with Barker's 600-0011 hex bolt and the specified lockwasher. Compare the footpad and attachment at the bottom of your jack before replacing either part.

The original VIP 3000 and 3500 diagrams identify 28259 as the emergency manual crank handle. Other crank handles with square drive ends are not automatically the correct Barker replacement. Follow Barker's manual-cranking instructions and never operate the electric switch with the manual crank inserted.

Electrical connection and maintenance

The Barker instructions specify a 12-volt battery connection with a 30 A slow-blow fuse and a dependable ground at the A-frame mounting point. Keep the trailer wheels chocked and support the trailer appropriately before servicing the jack; never work beneath a trailer supported by the tongue jack alone.

For routine maintenance and troubleshooting, follow the relevant VIP 3000 owner's manual or VIP 3500 owner's manual. These manuals describe gear lubrication and the built-in level. If your jack is a Barker Hi-Power ball-screw model rather than a VIP, use its own parts reference.

Other trailer tongue-jack parts guides

For another electric jack design, see the Lippert 285318 Power Tongue Jack guide, or the Stromberg Carlson JET-5000 parts guide. Their switches, gears and crank arrangements are model-specific and should not be substituted by appearance.
