Electric Trailer Dolly ?

I am looking for an electric trailer dolly to make moving trailers around at my house and into my shop easier, Do any of you have any experience with these and have a brand you can recommend. I would like it to be able to move at least 5k pounds.

Thank You,

Redneck it up....Buy a HD lawn tractor and remove the deck.

Looks pretty handy

Or a electric pallet jack.

We use a tractor with a hitch attachment my dad made out of scrap on the 3 point. It makes moving trailers a freaking breeze.

I have been looking into these also I have a large 5th wheel and I have only found on company that has on to handle it with out going to a comeriall model and big bucks

Forklift would be great as I already have a very old one I could use but honestly I need something very small. I am running out of shop space and don't have room to maneuver a forklift of lawn tractor.

I am thinking this one would do the trick.

Yes he would, I miss his advise. Even if I didn't like it sometimes.

I don't know how to post pictures on here anymore now that photobucket is gone, Its a small one that I can actually use on the lakes and rivers. I want to come your way so you can show me around.

She looks like she's stealing it

My dad uses a ParkIt360 to get his boat in and out of the garage. The garage is on the side of the house, 90 degrees from the direction of the driveway, and too tight of a turn to get in and out with a truck. The two of us use to just push it in and out of the garage when I lived at home, and when my dad was younger and more able bodied. With the trailer dolly, he can do it by himself. Some things I have noticed while using it:

1) It is SUPER fawking slow. Make sure you have beers on hand before you start moving trailers around because it will take some time.
2) It's a pretty narrow unit, so when you are making tight turns with it, it wants to lean over on its side on one wheel. This makes it very unstable and hard to move. I actually fab'd a mount for the back of the dolly and added 2 heavy duty casters to help stabilize it. It's MUCH more stable and easier to use now.

This is the model he uses for his 21' bass boat: https://parkit360.ca/collections/trailer-dollies/products/electric-trailer-dolly-base-version
