Jack Support Apparatus

A trailer-mountable jack support comprising:

• a load-bearing body comprising an upper member and a lower end;
• and
• an upper receptacle;
• wherein said upper receptacle is disposed at a top end of said upper member;
• wherein said upper receptacle defines a cavity extending along at least a portion of a length of said upper member;
• wherein said cavity is dimensioned to receive at least a portion of a jack post of a trailer-mounted jack;
• wherein said lower end of said load-bearing body forms an enlarged base surface configured to increase ground contact area and static friction;
• wherein said base surface comprising a length greater than two times a width of said base surface;
• wherein a lower end of the jack post is received within said upper receptacle of said load-bearing body;
• wherein said cavity comprising a shape to frictionally receive the lower end of the jack post such that a load from the trailer-mounted jack is transferred directly into said load-bearing body;
• wherein said upper member of said load-bearing body is molded to resemble a leg portion;
• wherein said lower end of said load-bearing body is molded to resemble a foot portion;
• wherein said lower end comprising a plurality of claws along a leading edge;
• and
• further wherein each of said plurality of claws comprising a pointed terminal end for snagging the ground contact area.
