![]() We have a manual trailer dolly, the ez tug, and a parkit 360, and the smaller Legacy I. It's item E in the following diagram, shown next to the portable winch tray that can go into it. The receiver crossbar would replace the winch mount shown in this (poor) pic: The Trans4mer guard is used on a lot of forest service and other government vehicles, they would not use them if they had any weaknesses. That is a very stout unit and is high up, but I like the look of the full grill guard better and I need to protect the expensive intercooler and radiator of my Cummins from deer and such. ![]() ![]() There is one brand - I can't recall the name this second - that clamps over the front recovery hooks. My objection to most of the other choices of receivers is that they are so darned low down that they make the truck unusable offroad. I did talk to the guys at my favorite 4x4 fabricating shop, and the were very adamant that the Warn guards are darned good and would be fine for what I intend. No way is that going to be distressed by moving a loaded Oliver around at 5 mph. The receiver is indeed intended for a plug in winch, but it is rated for a 12,000 lb winch, so with a double line pull that is 24K. Many front grill guards are junk, but the Warn units are very impressively strong, with huge reinforcing brackets that tie into the frame at multiple points. Also, while it is able to hold 10,000 pounds, moving something that heavy will be difficult no matter what.John, Warn makes products for winching not towing, different directional forces, I would be sure to do a lot of research first before purchasing one thinking it will be able to deal with a 700lb tongue weight and then the forces applied in moving a trailer around. You may need a bit of muscle power to move it off road and up inclines, but that may be due to the limited power of the handheld drill. It also does not work as effectively on grass as it does on concrete. It is an excellent dolly once affixed to the hitch however, it may take a bit of time to install it properly. All you need is a handheld 18V drill to start the motor. It also comes with an automatic safety brake if there is a need for it. Another good feature is the steel construction enables corrosion resistance up to 300 hours of travel. One feature we found useful is the high-strength pneumatic tires that are capable of withstanding 500 pounds of pressure per tire. Plus, the ball attachment mechanism is quick to attach and holds securely to the hitch, giving you a wider range of mobility. Its hefty weight capacity allows it to hold up to 10,000 pounds with 1,000 pounds of torque weight. This durable electric boat trailer dolly from Trailer Valet is simple to get going with the use of a powered drill. More robust and durable electric trailer dollies can lift heavier trailers as well. This is useful for anyone who needs to move around multiple trailers or stow away several at a time. Versatility.Many powered trailer hitches can be removed from one trailer and connected to another.You have 360-degree of motion with the dolly and aren’t burdened by having a cumbersome vehicle just inches away from the trailer. Powered dollies make stowing trailers, boats, RVs, and travel trailers much more simple by giving you more maneuverability. With an electric trailer dolly, you don’t have to worry about using your vehicle to back in the trailer somewhere difficult. The convenience of powered dolly lessons the amount of time it takes to connect the hitch to the trailer and the time it takes to stow the trailer away in tight spaces. Improved strength.Hand cranking a dolly by force can strain your muscles and body, leaving you exhausted and overheated.The amount of control you have over the trailer is much larger and safer with a dolly. Or worse yet, you could end up backing into the trailer, therefore damaging your car or cargo. You can only turn the trailer so far before you have to readjust the angle. A trailer dolly gives you a much wider range of movement.
