It sure can, the caster wheel or the ARK # ORJW1SU isn't offset because the ratcheting arm is used to rotate the caster wheel so the trailer will be easy to maneuver around. If you click the provided link, you can see a product description video that explains how the jack works

I do have an option for you but the Xtreme Off-Road Ratcheting Trailer Jack part #ORJW1SU isn't quite cutout out for what you're wanting. Instead, I recommend the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover part #STC-V211 which is rated…

The Extreme Off-Road Ratcheting Trailer Jack part #ORJW1SU has a 770 lb weight capacity which means so long as the tongue weight of the trailer does not exceed this then you'd be fine. A trailer with GVWR of 4,000 lbs would be no worry at all.

You wouldn't want to try and move a trailer up an incline with the MT70881. The dolly itself would be fine but you would most likely not be able to pull that heavy of a trailer up an incline. And then if you somehow did get it going up the…

Hey Antoine, so the two kits you mentioned are actually really similar and honestly I would go with the part #ETBC7 if I were you. The #ETBC7L is basically the same thing minus a couple wires and breakers so you may as well get the kit that has…
