Yes, for this you are going to want to take a look at a powered drive conversion kit like the Bulldog Powered-Drive Kit for Single-Speed Jacks part # BD1824200100. This kit is designed specifically for Bulldog trailer jacks but can most likely be used on your Pro Series Square Drop Leg Jacks part # PS1400980376 as well with little to no modifications. This kit comes with everything you are going to need to convert your manual crank jacks to power drive jacks that can be operated with the flick of a switch. There are not really any other options out there for you that are going to speed up the process of removing your flatbed trailer from your flatbed truck.

I have attached a review/install video of this kit for you as well.
