Speed of Raising and Lowering Powered Landing Gear Sets for Trailers

Question:

Can you give me the average RPM or some type of expected speed? I would assume it would be comparable to handcranking.

Powered drive kits for landing gear generally raise and lower at the same speed as the low gear setting of a 2 speed jack. If you have ever cranked on a landing gear set that had 2 speeds the setting that give more leverage but requires more turns of the handle is about the same speed as a powered drive kit. Basically they raise and lower pretty slowly.
