  • Recommended Trailer Dolly for 5,000 Lb Boat and Trailer
  • I have a great option for help maneuvering a 5,000 lb boat and trailer, the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive part # TVXL25 for a 2-5/16" hitch ball or part # TVXL2 for 2". This dolly uses a chain drive system which creates a mechanical advance allowing you to control a trailer up to 10,000 lbs. Without this advantage, it would not be possible for you to safely move a trailer this size which is why all the manual dolly's like the Rack'Em Trailer Dolly part # RA20 max out much...

  • Can Rack'em Trailer Dolly # RA20 be Used with Trailer that has 2 inch Ball Coupler
  • Actually the Rack'em Trailer Dolly # RA20 will work well with a trailer that has a 2 inch coupler. When using a tow dolly the tongue weight alone of the trailer will keep the coupler attached to it. You do not have to use the exact same size hitch ball on a dolly. That is why frequently tow dollies will use a small sized hitch ball so that all coupler sizes can be used on them. If you were in a situation the tongue weight of the trailer started pulling up the tow dolly wouldn't keep the...

  • Recommended Dolly for Big Tex 70PI-X Trailer
  • I recommend using the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive part # TVXL2 to maneuver your Big Tex 70PI-X. This dolly has a drive system so you don't have to physically strain yourself to move the trailer. The trailer is a bit too large for a manual dolly so you will really need the drive system. The best part is that you don't have to have the trailer unloaded to move it either as the dolly has a capacity up to 10,000 lbs.

  • Manual Ball-Mount Trailer Dollies For A NuCamp T@B 320
  • Looks like most of that is welded in place so removing it would be a bit of a challenge. We do offer some manual trailer dollies to help maneuver your trailer around though. If you have a 1-7/8" coupler then you can use the Flint Hill Goods Trailer Dolly # FHG84ZR, which can handle up to 600lbs in tongue weight. For a 2" coupler you'd need the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive # TVXL2, which can handle up to 1,000lbs of tongue weight. This also comes with a drill bit attachment...

  • Recommended Trailer Dolly For Moving Car Dolly That Is Too Heavy To Move Around
  • The Rack'em Trailer Dolly # RA20 is designed to easily move and maneuver trailers. It will work the same way for your car dolly. This dolly uses an adjustable height hitch ball that is 1 7/8 inches diameter. It adjusts from 16 to 19 inches tall and the handle is set at 54 inches from the bottom of the tires to give you the leverage you need with the 13 inch tires to make moving your car dolly easy. I've attached a video to show you the ease of use.

  • Recommendation for a Trailer Dolly with a 1-7/8 Inch Ball
  • I do have a potential solution for you but there is only a 2 inch or 2-5/16 inch ball version of the Trailer Valet. Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive - 2" Hitch Ball - 1,000 lbs TW Item # TVXL2 is the 2 inch ball version. We have tried to couple a 1-7/8 inch latch coupler on a dolly with a 2 inch ball and it would not fit even when unlatched. So what I recommend is a dolly with a 1-7/8 inch ball such as # RA20. With this dolly you would have to physically push and pull the...

  • Recommended Trailer Valet To Move Loaded Demco Kar Kaddy SS
  • The swivel jack on the Demco Kar Kaddy Tow Dolly is not intended to support the weight of the dolly and the loaded car. Most jacks simply cannot handle the torque as well as the load for that application. You can use the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover - Topwind - 15" Lift - 500 lbs # STC-V211 or the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive - 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 1,000 lbs TW # TVXL25 for this application. These trailer movers are designed to handle the weight...

  • Recommended Tow Dolly for 2,800 Pound Aluminum Trailer
  • For your aluminum enclosed trailer weighing 2,800 lbs I recommend the Rack'em Trailer Dolly # RA20. This tow dolly is capable of handling up to 500 lbs of tongue weight. Tongue weight is typically 10-15% of your trailer weight so you are looking at 280-420 lbs so you won't have any issues. This tow dolly has an adjustable height ranging from 16-19". The bars on your Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System like the # EQ37100ET should not be an issue when using a dolly. There would be no...

  • Will the Trailer Valet Trailer Wheel Dolly Set Work On a Vehicle
  • The Trailer Valet Trailer Wheel Dolly part # TV74FR are not designed for use on a vehicle. The only way possible to use them on such is with four dollies under all wheels. This would be costly but an option if you want the integrated lifting mechanism that standard dollies like the Wheel Dolly part # PTW54013 don't have.

  • How Does Wiring of Roadmaster Trailer Tow Dolly Fender Connect to Rest of Dolly
  • Sounds like you might be replacing the fender of your Roadmaster tow dolly which has the lighting and wiring integrated into it. The replacement fenders for the Roadmaster dollies like the part # RM-921003 use a standard 4-way trailer wiring connector to connect to the rest of the wiring of the dolly. In the picture I attached you can see the 4-way.

  • How to Move Boat From CE Smith Boat Trailer Without Boat Ramp
  • The CE Smith Boat Trailer # CE48810 is a great choice to transport your Sun Dolphin Pro and using a trailer dolly will absolutely work for you. You could use the Rack'Em Trailer Dolly # RA20 if you wanted as the tongue weight of your trailer will keep it on the smaller hitch ball of that dolly. However, I do think there is another option that would be better for you. I recommend the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover # STC-V211. It will act as a jack so you can unhook your...

  • Recommended Trailer Dolly for Moving a 2006 Aliner Expedition Trailer In/Out of Garage For Storage
  • The Rack'em Trailer Dolly # RA20 that you saw will support up to 500lbs of tongue weight and your 2006 Aliner Expedition has only 135lbs so there you are well within the limits. This dolly does not have a limit to the trailer weight as this will be limited by how much you can push and/or pull while it is being moved. Do remember if there is a slope going into or out of the garage that you will need to be able to push or stop the trailer with the incline. Since this dolly only comes with...

  • Trailer Dolly Recommendation to Maneuver 3,200 lb Boston Whaler Boat Trailer
  • The trailer dolly you'll want for your trailer that weighs 3,200 lbs is the Rack'em Trailer Dolly # RA20. As long as the tongue weight (typically 10 percent of the trailer weight) is less than 500 lbs you're good. Your tongue weight would be right around 320 lbs. For level ground in a garage this would easily allow you to maneuver your trailer.

  • If you're looking for a fully electronic trailer dolly then we've got a great option; you'll want to take into consideration the GVWR and tongue weight of your trailer.

  • How to Transport a Tow Dolly when Towing an Enclosed Trailer
  • If you don't want to have a tow dolly in the enclosed trailer then the easiest way to transport it (empty) is to install a trailer hitch on the back of the enclosed trailer and actually tow the dolly behind the trailer. The only catch is that in some states it is illegal to tow a trailer, or in this case a dolly, behind another trailer. So you would just have to check the laws in the states you will be traveling in. The most versatile option and the most likely to fit is Curt hitch # 13703....

  • For a travel trailer weighing 4,500 pounds, I recommend going with the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly # TVXL2.
