There is an option for 8,000 lb electric landing gear, although the Bulldog Tandem Landing Gear Set # BD500162 does not have a motor available specifically for it and there isn't one that is known to work, so it does require the use of Manual Override Crank for Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jacks # BD500203 for operation.
