I think not. My trailer which is much larger has has two different
trailer jacks both of which I have managed to wreck don't ask me how.
So now i just use my trusty floor jack if I need some help. you will
need no jack for the tiny little trailer you describe since you will be
able to lift it without a jack.


My trailer has a typical loaded tongue weight of about 960# and the jack
on it does just fine. Not sure how you killed yours.

For the little trailer though the loaded tongue weight should never be
over 120#, typically much less so it should be perfectly manageable
without a jack.
