A dual-mode
landing gear adapter enables rapid interchangeability between manual and powered operation for trailer
landing gear extension and retraction. The adapter includes a gear shaft adapter having a first
coupling end structured to securely engage the trailer's
landing gear gearbox shaft, and an opposite second
coupling end with axial slots configured for receiving a two-pin anchor. A manual
crank and a
drill head attachment each include a corresponding two-pin anchor for secure, selective
coupling with the adapter. The
drill head attachment further comprises a cylindrical collar structured to securely receive a standard electrically powered
drill / driver, secured via a cotter pin or similar fastening device. The invention facilitates quick, secure switching between powered and manual operation without tools, ensuring convenience, safety, and operational flexibility. This adapter
system reduces user effort, increases efficiency, and provides robust reliability under varying operational conditions common in commercial trucking and trailer applications.
