Question about Caravan Movers
Hi All,
I need some information on Caravan Movers. Not for a caravan, but in my work I have an access platform that weighs about 1500kg, and whilst on a car/van can be moved perfectly, but when at base, is a pain as I have a little slope to try and move it around on. What is available please??? Thanks in advance.

As above, but there are alternative systems....
There is a no longer made Hitchdrive, where the jockey wheel is replaced by a hand cracked wheel. They tend to not be able to have enough grip for much of a slope. There is a similar jockey wheel item which is battery powered. If you just need to find a way to heave it up a slope which is too steep to push it, have you thought of a cheap and simple winch? You can get mains or 12v powered ones, or manual ones for not a lot. I have a slope to drag the caravan up every time we get home. For years I managed with a manually cranked winch. A £15 winch mounted on a bit of scaffold pole, with enough wire to reach to the bottom of my drive. I have a couple of holes drilled in my drive, to drop the pole into and it worked well. I now have a mover fitted, but keep the winch as a standby and if necessary I could winch the car up my drive with it.
