I guess I never thought about it.
I will see if that can work.

I've used a cordless drill to power the landing gear on my 5th. wheel for years. I just welded a large nut on the shaft where the crank goes. It's also at least twice as fast as factory powered landing gear. Make sure to have a suitable wrench available in case the drill quits.
It's a 25ft fifth wheel and it doesn't seem to matter about loaded or not. It's the standard hand operated landing gear, the same as most trailers, only one speed. The hand crank has an off-set of about a foot from the main shaft. I would expect it to work on any hand crank.
