Question:
I need to swap out the landing pad on the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack - 18inch Lift - 3,500 lbs. with a wheel. I tried the Removable Wheel with Pin for A-Frame Trailer Jacks by Dutton-Lainson Item # DL22539 but its too big for the inner tube. The outer tube is 2in but the inner is 1.75 and it collapses when I put weight on it. I cant find a wheel that would fit. Is it not possible to put a wheel on this electric jack?

Expert Reply:
Caster wheels for trailer tongue jacks are typically rated for much less weight than standard foot plates. There is not a caster wheel rated for 3500-lbs; the highest-rated one we offer is the Fulton # F500266 which fits their F2 A-frame jack # F1413250334. This is why no electric tongue jacks come with a wheel.
