Why isn't There a Wheel Caster for Electric Trailer Jacks

Question:

Can I attach a wheel instead of the foot plate to this jack?

Hey Marius, there isn't a wheel available for the etrailer electric jack part # EJ-3527-BBX that you referenced which is pretty normal for electric jacks. The reason is the wheels end up cutting the capacity of the jack by about a third and most trailers that have the need for an electric jack (heavier ones) are too heavy to be pushing around on a wheel.

Hey Marius, how did things go with the electric jack after learning a wheel couldn’t be added? Knowing what setup you ended up using could help others looking for a similar option.
