Product Description

The Purple Line Ego trailer mover is a low profile, heavy duty mover, constructed with anodized alloy components making it light weight and exceptionally resistant to corrosion. The e-go trailer mover is suitable for both single (up to 5000 pounds) and twin axle (up to 7800 pounds) trailers. The e-go has a more efficient, precision cut gearbox, which generates greater power whilst drawing less current. The e-go has a wind on engagement mechanism which allows for micro-adjustments and when combined with the better gearbox it makes the e-go the mover of choice for the heavier travel trailer. The e-go trailer mover uses a wind on engagement mechanism, to move the rollers onto the tires. The advantages of this mechanism are that it allows the operator to adjust the pressure applied to the tires, increasing or decreasing as necessary when on sloping ground, when tread is worn or tire pressure is low or when using on heavier travel trailers. If you want to move your trailer in style you can upgrade the e-go motor mover further, with the electronic engage system. This upgrade is designed to be retro fitted to the unit, so you can get this at the time of initial purchase or at a later date if required. With this system installed the rollers engage at the touch of a button. The e-go trailer mover is water resistant, and to a certain extent waterproof, however it should not be operated when submerged. The e-go can be used on a twin axle travel trailer with the use of four motors, all synchronized to one remote control. 130 millimeters - 2 motors.

Product Reviews

Trouble steering a dual axle trailer with a single mover.

This unit would be a good product for a lighter single axle trailer. But there is two major issues with heavier twin axle trailers. The 1st is finding a strong enough wheel for the tongue. I tried dual plastic 5” wheels and bent the connector. I have 550 lbs. of tongue weight. That wheel set was rated for 1500 lbs. 2nd issue is when you try to steer the trailer, the mover puts lots of pressure trying to make the wheel change directions. The wheels sometimes hangs up and scrapes sideways. My trailer weights 4700 lbs and within the spec for a single power unit. The reality is if you have a dual axle trailer, you really need two sets of the Ego. There is a work around I found for the steering problem. I bought a trailer dolly wheel set ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0079YMIFA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 ) It works well but you lose the advantage of a built in mover by having to lug around a sizeable wheel set to regain the ability to steer.

Great way to move a trailer.

Great Item - I retrofitted this to a towable boom lift and it works like a charm. It moves the lift effortlessly around jobsites and through buildings.
