Recommendation for Moving a Trailer Since Wheels are Not Available on Powered A-Frame Jacks
Question:
I need a powered jack like this but I need a caster wheel so the trailer can be moved when disconnected. is anything available?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Electric A-Frame trailer jacks generally do not come with wheels or have options for wheels. The reason is that the wheels are rated much lower than the jack. So for example if a wheel were used on jack # BD500200 the capacity would be limited to the 1,000 pounds of the wheel even though the jack is rated for 4,000 pounds.
A better option would be to use whatever jack you want and then use a trailer dolly such as # TVXL2 or # TVXL25. Both of these models are chain-driven and have high and low gears with automatic brakes allowing you to move a trailer easily and with confidence. I have linked a video for you showing the features.
