Solution to Move 2,000 lb Trailer On Flat Gravel by Hand

Question

Question:

I recently purchased an offroad trailer that came with a pipe mount, 2000lb jack, with a flat base. I have a gravel driveway and need to be able to roll the trailer. Do you have a solution that would work? I have found wheels and some jacks, but unsure what will work together. Thanks.

If the gravel is packed tight and the driveway is basically flat you can use a Trailer Valet XL # TVXL25 for if you have a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball or part # TVXL2 if you have a 2 inch hitch ball. We've tested these here on gravel and found they can work. If you have really deep and loose gravel though we won't have a solution.
