Trailer Dollies

Trailer Dollies

Maneuvering any trailer, utility, boat, camping, or even a horse trailer, in and out of a garage, barn or other parking space can be a major hassle, especially if that space is very small or presents a tight fit. But using a trailer dolly can help you navigate through those tight spaces a bit easier without having to worry about a vehicle to power the trailer's movement. Selecting the proper trailer dolly in size and style to handle your load can make quick, easy work of that trailer moving and positioning process. The biggest thing to consider when choosing a trailer dolly is weight compatibility. Can the dolly safely handle the weight of the trailer you will be moving? Northern Tool's selection allows you to choose from trailer dollies with various weight capacities that can handle a wide range of loads. From standard tongue weight cargo and boat trailers to heavy-duty enclosed and travel trailers, you're sure to find a trailer dolly model that's right for your situation.

Another consideration when choosing a trailer dolly is the height needed to get under the trailer hitch and lift it. If you are choosing a fixed height dolly, make sure it is the proper height for your primary use. Adjustable height trailer dollies are also available to add versatility for use with a variety of trailer heights. Also pay attention to the wheelbase (the wider the wheelbase, the more stable the trailer dolly,) handle length (longer handles add additional leverage to make pushing or pulling easier,) wheel style (the addition of a swiveling caster to the wheel configuration can greatly increase the maneuverability of a trailer dolly,) and ball size (the size of the ball on the dolly needs to fit in the coupler of the trailer or be interchangeable so you can switch to the correct ball size when needed.) To avoid runaway trailers on a slope or hill, hand brake trailer dolly models are also available.
