I was using the hand crank mover to move my van so much work for little distance. The motorized jockey wheel made it very easy to move my van and made in Aussie makes it so much value for your money

I have an off-road camper-trailer with a high frame for better gound clearance in the rough. This means that, unlike the promotional images, the T-Rex motorised jockey wheel has to be clamped above the upper ridge on its upright and then extended further with the crank handle. My driveway is nearly level (0.1 degree slope) and I bought the T-Rex to manoeuvre my camper trailer sideways on the wide driveway. This requires the T-Rex to be driven hard left and right as well as forwards and backwards. The clamp latch plates are not sufficiently rigid when the motorised jockey wheel is driven when its upright is extended as far as required for an off-road camper-trailer. The flexing of the clamp risks it suffering metal fatigue when used like this. Electrically and mechanically the T-Rex motorised wheel seems quite strong but will need additional bracing when used on high-clearance off-road trailers and caravans. To me, the T-Rex motorised jockey wheel offers value for money but I will be adding extra bracing to the upright's clamp mechanism (latch-plates).Read full review

Our placement of our caravan at home required Master level Tetris skills to get it through the garage, between pergola posts and into place on the hardstand. After trying the grunt and push method a few times I looked for an easier option and came across the powered jockey wheel and instantly my life became 100% easier. I read some negative reviews about it but if a little common sense prevails and you're not trying to tow a 3 ton caravan up an incline in a muddy field then it cannot fail but to do exactly what it says on the box. Now, extracting and replacing the 'van where it lives is no longer a struggle and, with the addition of go-jacks the whole operation now takes 20 mins and not an hour. I would definitely recommend the T-rex jockey wheel but make sure you know it's limitations before you buy as unrealistic expectations are not a fault of the product. Read full review

Bought this Motorized Dolly wheel June 2021 and have used it to push & pull 1 tonne 2 wheel loaded trailer on concrete from parked to ute hitch and works well. Had to add more than ball balance weight of the trailer of about 20kg up to 80kg to get enough grip for the solid tyre. An air filled tyre would give more area grip on concrete but would not carry the down load so I see solid rubber is the only solution. My brother inlaw has borrowed the unit to move his 4m aluminum boat and will buy one shortly. So far very happy. I have kept it in the shed out of any rain or dust or hot sun. My trailer is braked tipping trailer with 1m high crate rated 1 tonne payload tare about 500kg
