Husky RV Scissor Stabilizer Jacks: Sizes, Cranks & Parts

Manual scissor jacks reduce movement when a travel trailer or fifth wheel is parked. Husky offers several versions that look alike when folded but differ in extended height, capacity, packaging and operating handles. The first decision is how far a jack must extend to reach the campsite surface without operating near its maximum height.

The capacities above are the manufacturer's ratings per jack. A pair of 7,500-lb jacks is not permission to raise 15,000 lb of trailer weight. These are stabilizers, not substitutes for a service lift, axle stands, a tongue jack or the trailer's suspension.

Replacement cranks and drill adapters

76850 speed handle: The Husky 76850 swivel crank handle is the manufacturer's matching replacement for its 7,500-lb heavy-duty scissor jacks. The 88123 crank handle is listed for its 5,000-lb family. These handles are listed separately because original kits vary in whether a handle is supplied.

88120 drill adapter: The Husky 88120 drill socket adapter fits scissor jacks with a ¾-inch hex drive and a drill with at least a ⅜-inch chuck. Use low speed and control the torque. Do not force a fully extended or retracted jack with a power drill.

72139 replacement jack: This is a single replacement for the heavy-duty 24-inch 7,500-lb series, whereas 76862 is the two-jack package. Check the original mounting plate and available space before replacing just one side.

Choose the correct extension height

Measure from the trailer's proposed mounting surface down to the ground when the trailer is already level on its wheels. Leave enough working extension that the stabilizer can make solid contact without reaching its mechanical limit. A longer 30-inch jack is not always preferable: check its folded height and its clearance from steps, tanks, plumbing and the road when travelling.

The Husky 76862 heavy-duty model folds to approximately 4-5/16 inches and extends to 24 inches. Its product sheet recommends approximately 20 inches of frame-to-ground clearance. The standard 88124 also folds to approximately 4-5/16 inches and extends to 30 inches. Verify the exact bracket and collapsed-height measurements before choosing a replacement for a restricted location.

Mounting and safe stabilizing

1. Park on a firm, reasonably level surface, apply the parking brake as appropriate and chock the wheels. Level the trailer on its suspension and with its tongue or landing gear before stabilizing.
2. Position jacks where the trailer frame is approved to receive the load, without interfering with tanks, pipes, wiring or suspension components.
3. Use the precise Husky installation instructions for front and rear mounting angles, hole locations and mounting fasteners. Do not drill or weld onto a frame without the trailer manufacturer's approval.
4. Extend the jacks to make firm ground contact and stabilize the parked trailer. Do not use a scissor stabilizer to lift wheels off the ground, change a tire or raise the trailer for service.
5. Retract every stabilizer completely before towing and check ground clearance.

If you need a different stabilization system, see our Stromberg Carlson JSC-24 scissor jack parts reference for its separate model family. Do not assume replacement cranks or mounting hardware are interchangeable between brands.
