Is There a Swivel Jack with Snap Ring Compatible with 15 Inch Lift and Caster with 1200 lb Capacity?

All of the 15 inch lift jacks with the snap ring are rated for 2,000 lbs or more. The reason why you aren't finding a wheel in that lift is because the wheels are not rated for that capacity.

The jacks with the integrated wheel don't have the same lift, but they do have a wheel diameter that impacts the height adjustment. The Fulton Round, Snap-Ring Swivel Marine Jack - Weld On - Sidewind - 10" Lift - 1,200 lbs # FTJ120W0301 has a 6 inch diameter wheel so the bracket height will be 13 inches when retracted and 23 inches when extended. This is really the only option to give you a snap ring jack with a wheel, so I hope that meets your needs.

If not, then we do not have what you are seeking so you would need to customize one. If you go that route, the Pro Series # PS1401040303 is my recommendation and you will need to cut off the plate, drill a hole and then use the caster wheel # PS1400750340. This would max your capacity at 1200 lbs like you stated.

Thanks for the helpful answers! It sounds like the second solution - adding a wheel to a jack after cutting off the plate - would give me exactly what I want, but Im guessing the wheel would not spin/swivel with that, correct? Or - does the wheel itself have a swivel capability regardless of what the tube does?

The Pro Series 6", Detachable Caster w/ Pin for 2" Diameter Jacks - 1,200 lbs # PS1400750340 has a swivel integrated in the wheel. It will absolutely change directions as needed so you can move your trailer as needed.
