The Bulldog Square Jack # BD182701 that you referenced can have an electric motor added to it using the Bulldog Powered-Drive Kit for Single-Speed Jacks w/ 12,000-lb Capacity # BD1824200100. Since the powered-drive kit is rated for 12,000 lbs that will be your weight capacity.
This is a weld-on jack that works well for heavy-duty trailers such as a horse trailer. We do not have access to specs on every trailer so I couldn't tell you if it is a direct replacement, but since it is a weld-on jack replacing a weld-on jack you should have no problems.
We do have the Bulldog Velocity Series Electric Landing Gear Jack # BD185400 which is a bolt on option. The setup that I just referenced was built to be welded on and it is a little more cost-effective so that is the route that I recommend taking.
