Review on 🚚 AlphaWorks Trailer Dolly Electric Power: Heavy Duty Commercial Jack with 3600LBS Max Trailer Weight and 2" Ball Mount Included by Olusola Edwards

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not PERFECT, but VERY GOOD!

I have a 1963 Airstream project. Yes, "Project" means I have to move it to get to the areas I'm working on and save it again. This electric semitrailer makes it possible. I also have 2 other trailers (utility vehicles) that are too heavy to move by hand - here's my helper! The trolley has enough traction (WARNING!) to move them all nicely and is quiet. Controls include a main on/off switch on the "battery box", a hidden on/off switch just below the LED display, a forward/reverse switch and a speed controller. Assembly was quick and easy - the cable was the only thing to catch. Slowdown but they provided hotspots to help the process. My only problem was that one of the drive shaft splines fell out unnoticed. The wheel didn't move and I quickly realized why. Simple fix - put it back in place and put the wheel back on. Attaching it to your trailer boils down to raising the tongue quite high and tilting the dolly underneath to "scoop" the hitch onto the dolly ball. This leads to two considerations: 1) The cart is pretty high in the air at its lowest level - I really can't imagine using the HIGH positions at all (it seems like it will just tip over). 2) You must provide hitch balls smaller or larger than 2 inches (provided). Reversing with a trailer is fairly easy, but be aware that cruise control is a "light touch" - just push lightly to start and forward is easy. Driving a trailer in forward direction requires downward pressure on the handlebars to prevent the dolly from tipping out from under the hitch and a very light touch on the cruise control NOTE: In the forward direction the car is following you and this makes it difficult to lightly touch the cruise control - it CAN bypass you if Don't be careful! Finally, I'm going to stow a set of wheel chocks on top of the wagon - because there are NO BRAKES. Any climb will just keep going. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to keep the charger on all the time, but i'll leave it as it is which is attractive.
