Can a Wheel be Added to Electric A-Frame Trailer Jack # EJ-3520-BBX

Question:

Is there a wheel available in place of the foot plate?

Wheels generally do not come on electric jacks (and are not offered as accessories) because they are rated much lower than the jacks. So for example if you were to put a wheel on a jack such as # EJ-3520-BBX the jack would then only be rated as high as the wheel is rated. They highest rated wheel I have seen was 2,000 pounds which is almost half the capacity of this jack. Also since this jack has a drop leg none of the available wheels will fit properly.

If your trailer tongue weight is under 1,000 pounds then you could use the Trailer Valet XL, # TVXL25 for a 2-5/16 inch ball or # TVXL2 for a 2 inch ball. They are similar to trailer dollies except that they have a manually operated, chain-driven assist to move the trailer around. I have linked a video showing how the Trailer Valet XL works.
