Makes moving my log splitter on gravel much easier. If you need a 2” ball make sure to get one with 3/4” diameter shaft. I recommend it!

I have a small incline on my driveway but was still able to push my camper up and into my garage for the winter. It will also be handy to move my trailer out of my way when I want to use the garage in other seasons. I can put it back in after I am done using my shop . The city doesn’t like these things in the driveway. Great tool made my life simpler, I can even bring it to campsites to position the camper just right.

I just need this twice a year to bring my boat across the lawn to the back shed and so far it worked to get it there ….. beats lifting the tongue across the grass

I bought this item a few months ago and after putting it together and pumping up the tyres I stored it in the garage. Today when attempting to use it for the 1 st time ever I found one of the tyres completely flat. After attempting to pump it up numerous times I found there is a faulty connection bewtween the inner tube and the valve. This means ofcourse I now have to buy a brand new inner tube. Very disappointed and unhappy.

Had to buy 2” ball to be able to use it.

I got this dolly to help with moving my 1500lb popup camper into and out of the garage.
First thing, it is rated for 600lbs tongue weight, not total weight, It says this right on the box. I had assumed this when purchasing, but can confirm it for anyone wondering.
There was a slight odor when I opened the box, but not too bad (response to other reviews).
I did need to inflate the tires, which proved a challenge because of how the valve stems were positioned and due to the small size of the tire (not much space between the rim and where to center comes out). But I was able to get them inflated without too much hassle.
It was simple to put together. The instructions were not super clear, but clear enough if you’ve put stuff together before. Took maybe 15 or 20 minutes. A few wrenches are needed. The dolly seems well made and sturdy.
Using the dolly took a bit of caution.
It is rather low (from the ground) but workable. If I tried a tight turn the tires would hit the jack wheel (which I put up but kept on (more on that in a minute). But I was able to maneuver without problems.
It did make moving the camper easier (in comparison to moving it with the plastic jack wheel only). The physical movement was slightly easier – because I was in a better position, able to get a better grip.
It made maneuvering the camper much easier! I have to get the camper in and out of a garage door with only a couple inches to spare. This made it relatively easy (in the level garage) to go back and forth until I was lined up properly. Also, turning the camper around once I got it out was much easier too, I did not need to keep fighting with the jack wheel.
When connecting the trailer, I found that the ball was rather tilted when set down on the stand. I put a few boards under base of the stand to make it more vertical.
Once it was hooked up, I took two precautions.
1) I flipped the hitch lock to lock it in place.
2) I cranked up the jack wheel, but left it in place. I had it an inch or so off the ground. That way if the dolly started to rock away from me, it would only go so far down.
Two notes of caution in using this:
1) it is a bit like a seesaw. I would pull down on the handle, while the hitch was weighing down on the other side of the axle (which served as a fulcrum). Once you realize this, it is not a problem, but you want to keep it in control. This is why I left the jack wheel on – so that it could not rotate too far down on the hitch end. Still you want to be careful in handling it.
2) Make sure you have help and a wheel chock at the ready if you are on anything other than level ground. Given that the trailer now has four wheels, it will roll if not on the level and could easily get away from you. Even on the very minor slope of our driveway (very, very minor), I needed to turn the jack wheel sideways and crank it down to keep the trailer from rolling until I could get the wheels chocked.
Overall, this does what I need at a good price. I was able to back the trailer out of the garage today, turn it around and position it to be hitched up by myself. I could do this only because the surface is very close to level, but I would not have been able to do this without the dolly.

Bought this for a friend who had just got a teardrop and didn’t know how to tow real well. Put it together with a few tools and it only took about 30 minutes. Brought it to her house and even I was surprised how easy it is to move her teardrop and all the other trailers she had there at the house. Her dad (60+) had no problem at all taking it from me and scooting the teardrop right into it’s parking space!

I purchased this to move my trailers around my property. It was relatively easy to assemble, instructions were good, and it was packaged adequately and arrived in good condition. I’ve already used it, because I was waiting on it to move a trailer. It worked perfectly, didn’t complain, and was able to move a small 2,200 lb RV with a tongue weight of 250lb easily on flat terrain.
One caution, and it was likely my fault, is that I stripped the receiving threads for one of the 4 bolts in the unpainted piece that connects the top part of the handle to the rest of the unit. The bolts use a spring washer and as I tightened the bolt, I felt it give way and confirmed that the receiving threads were stripped. Given that the other bolts use nuts and are heavy duty and can take much torque, I advise being more gentle with these four bolts into that particular part. I guess I could order a replacement, but I’ll see how it goes for now.
The BIGGEST issue I had with this order was NOT the product, but with Amazon delivery. When I placed this order, there was a countdown flag that said order within 2 hours to receive by Mar 25, which I did. I was logged in, so it Amazon knew my address. It was stated that it would arrive then in the email order confirmation, it was shipped early enough, but while waiting on it to arrive on Mar 25 to move my newly received trailer out of my driveway, I received an email from Amazon telling me that they were “sorry” and that delivery would now be Mar 26. I understood this to be “guaranteed delivery” when there is an “order by” flag, but don’t believe it. I paid $28 on a $79 product for fast delivery. I’ve tried repeatedly to contact Amazon to request a refund on the shipping, but there is apparently no way to do so. Every possible attempt has ended in a dead-end with no human in sight.
I’m sick of Amazon. Unfortunately, sometimes, especially in Alaska, there are few other options. I’ve had such ridiculously bad delivery experience with Amazon in the past, that I ONLY use Amazon as a last resort, even if I end up paying more somewhere else (like eBay). I also recently cancelled my Prime membership as a result.
This shipping issue is all on Amazon and does not reflect on the product or the manufacturer at all.

Works well with just a trailer, but will also work with boat on trailer. I used it on a 19’ with a 150 hp motor and was able to move the boat trailer around once on the cement floor in garage.

I did not know that these gagets even existed. Had plans for one in my head. Then thought of checking to see if such a thing existed. I wasn’t disappointed. First of all the price was right. It arrived in just a few days. All the parts were there. It went together quite easily. And it is robust. Very well satisfied with this purchase!!!
