Recommended Trailer Dolly for Maneuvering Trailer in Tight Spaces

Question:

I am SO tired of wheel jacks that wont swivel because they are solidly connected to the jack shaft! Is there ANY wheel jack with a large wheel and a totally free caster wheel that will swivel freely under a loaded trailer so I can steer it instead of scrape-hopping it across my driveway while I laboriously attempt to push the trailer?? Recommendations welcome!

For those times when you need to maneuver your trailer into its storage position an option that is better than a caster wheel jack is a trailer dolly.

The Trailer Valet 5X # STC-V211 is a bolt-on trailer jack and trailer mover in one that offers 2-speed hand-crank operation that makes positioning your trailer a whole lot easier. Dual posi-traction wheels make for easy transport and the built-in handle allows for easy steering. There is even a power drill adapter # TVDA to allow powered operation with your cordless drill.

We also have lower-cost options in a dedicated trailer dolly. Rack'Em # RA20 offers a 500-lb weight capacity and includes a 1-7/8-inch hitch ball.
