  This power mover is a heavier duty version of my standard mover. It provides 37 percent more force and moves 37 pcrcent slower due to different gearing. Since it moves slower it is easier to control with a heavy trailer during starting and stopping. It also has heavier axle bearings. It uses the same axle and related hardware. The version you see in the above pictures has pneumatic tires on the rear for use on grass and other soft surfaces. The plans you will receive will include drawings for the pneumatic tire version as well as an option of for using hard rubber casters as on the standard mover. The cost of parts for the heaven duty version is slightly more than the standard mover.

  It both pushes and pulls with the flip of a switch, and, when you disengage the geared winch it can quickly be rolled to where you want it. The ball mount is interchangeable which allows you to match it to your trailer height. In addition, the handle rotates to a vertical position for storage (see picture).

  To change directions with the pneumatic tire version, you lift the pneumatic tires off the ground using the long handle, rotate the mover and then set the tires back down.

  The construction of this mover is fairly easy. Once you have all the parts you can build it in a weekend. It does require reasonable welding skills and the ability to understand mechanical drawings. There are no difficult machining operations. A chop saw or band saw and drill press are the only heavy tools required. The difference between the HD and Standard version is the HD version has stronger axle bearings and moves a little slower due to different gearing and thus works a little better for heavier trailers. Other than that the frames are a little different to accommodate the different gearing and axle bearings.  This mover will not be quite as easy to build as the standard mover in that the frame requires more steel and more attention to axle bearing alignment as well as some sprocket modifications not required on the standard mover.

  The mover may be used on slight inclines (up to 6 percent) but it is not recommended for heavy trailers exceeding 3000 lbs on other than flat or near flat surfaces. On loose surfaces the selection of the ball mount should be made to provide all the trailer tongue weight on the drive wheels.

  THE TRAILER HAS TO BE MOVED FORWARD AND BACKWARDS IN A VERY TIGHT SPACE TO MAKE THE TURN AND NOT RUN INTO THE BUILDING OR ROCK WALL
