Hey James, so we don't have any wheel casters that were designed to be used with the electric jack you have. The electric jacks have so much more weight capacity than hand jacks and the wheels are just not able to be made very strong so they aren't available.

Plus if the trailer was heavy enough to need an electric jack you probably wouldn't be able to move it by hand and all the wheel would provide is a potentially dangerous scenario where your trailer could roll away.
