Hi Peeps. has anyone used the rear wheel dollies which go under the rearwheels, enabling one to push the trailer sideways and back into tight spaces ? say flush to a rear fence on a driveway. seems one could use these in combo with a lawn tractor to push it sideways into place,... along with a front ball motorized dolly (or even a ball attachment to the tractor to manouever the front). Getting my 28 ft flush against the rear of driveaway , even just for winter storage would do wonders for dinner conversation with the wifesky....
thank you. frank

 

Yes, have used "jack-up wheel doilies" to maneuver an enclosed Trailex (and a Genie 34/20) within an enclosed outbuilding to get in "snug" for the winters. Just spent this past weekend getting them "outdoors".

Lawn mower will work, but if you can find a secure anchor point, a come-along/Werner drill winch makes easy work of scooting it sideways. This all assumes a smooth flat surface.

Storing them this way (snug) can also be a big deterrent to theft if not easily accessible to cut/hitch and go.

 

Thanks Kein. that drill winch is pretty cool. never seen one. so by anchor point , you mean a point to anchor the werner hook:. say a fence post you are trying to winch the trailer towards. then just winch both ends of the trailer until flush with the fence.

for the dollies, you need to use a floor jack to get them under the wheels? what is purpose then of the "jack-up" mechanism

thanks. frank.

 

Yes the base of a 4x4 post will work as an anchor.
