Hydraulic Car Dolly for trailers

Postby S. Heisley » Mon Oct 09, 2017 7:56 pm

We trailer folk could use a couple of these for our trailers:

They'd be great for the garage. I wonder how they'd work in gravel.... :thinking:

Probably not for gravel... See the tiny casters... The will sink into any soft surface or get blocked by any small object, sort of like the bean on floor of supermarket and shopping cart caster...

Better price if you can tolerate the quality...

Due to limited yard space I have had to fight using a manual trailer dolly with my standie. It was not a problem with my teardrop but the much harder Kenskill standie got so hard I almost skipped a rally or two just to avoid the work of hand moving it. I finally found a solution, the Trailer Valet
https://www.trailervalet.com/. It works better for a shorter person but it is still a life saver.
I have the model that is attached to the side for the tongue which works well but due to the tongue/electric box/battery being in a short space i had to remove the propane tanks. That is an annoyance but I can get along without it or bring a separate tank if I need it.
There is a new more expensive model that uses a trailer ball attachment. I have not see that one in action but one I have is a life saver. I highly recommend it to anyone needing to more a trailer in limited spaces. I got mine through http://tinyurl.com/ydynn8vc which often offers free shipping.

This is the Trailer Dolly. Moves the trailer slow and easy, may take a while but few muscles required. :lol:
The handle on the left front is the guide and when it is down it is an instant brake. There are two crank positions, I use the top one because I do not have to bend over as much.
