Lift and level your gooseneck horse or motorsports trailer with the EQ Systems AM 2/24 Dual-Leg Hydraulic Jack System with Hand-Pump Manual Override — same rugged 4" × 4" tube-in-tube AM-series jacks, 24" stroke, and 24,000 lbs total lifting capacity as the screw-drive version, but with a hand-pump backup for total independence from power tools when the system loses electricity. Available at The RV Surplus.
Fitment critical: Verify compatibility before ordering. Call EQ Systems at 800-846-9659.
⭐ 24,000 lbs Lifting Capacity — Dual Leg
- Two AM-series 4" × 4" tube-in-tube legs
- 24" stroke (AM series also available: 16", 20", 30")
- Retracted length: 35.25" | Extended: 58.3125"
- 2.5" cylinder bore
⭐ Independent Switch Control — Level Side-to-Side
- Two rocker switches — run jacks together or one at a time
- Level the trailer side to side as well as lift it
- Key switch standard prevents unauthorized use
- One control box with dual switches and key
⭐ Hand-Pump Manual Override — No Power Tools Needed
- If the system loses power, the jacks are worked by hand with a pump handle — no drill or power tool needed
- To extend: Close both cartridge valves (1/8" Allen hex, ~2 to 2½ turns clockwise until stops), install handle in hand pump, pump — expect 10 to 20 strokes before pressure builds and jacks move
- To retract: Pull out the red knurled knob on the directional valve and turn it a quarter turn to hold it out, then pump
- Afterwards, reset: Turn cartridge valves back out counterclockwise and rotate the directional valve knob back until it snaps in — or the jacks can drift down from the stowed position
What's Included (8176AMUPS)
- Two AM-series 24" stroke jacks
- Commercial dual-function pump with manual override hand pump
- Pump cover
- One control box with dual switches + key switch
- Universal mounting brackets
- Wire harnesses in PVC high-temperature nylon braid for tough environments
What's Not Included
Ships without fluid (uses Dexron III ATF) and without mounting bolts (bolt kits available separately).
Battery Requirements
Load-test the battery before installing. EQ Systems requires a minimum of 150 amperes at 10.5 VDC for at least 30 seconds. Keep terminals tight and free of corrosion.
Fluid and Maintenance
Runs on Dexron III ATF, filled to about 1" below top of reservoir with jacks fully retracted (level rises as jacks retract). Reservoir must run with its vented breather cap fitted — not the flush shipping plug — or the jack will operate erratically. Inspect every 12 months: check connections tight and corrosion-free, particularly the ground to the pump stud and positive cable to the motor solenoid.
