Question:
Im considering the trailer valet 5x, and adding the TVDA drill attachment. Objective is moving an approximate 2200 lb boat/motor/trailer off a level asphalt street up a driveway either into or out of a garage. The driveway is approximately 25 long and has a 5 to 6 degree incline. Will this product handle the incline? And, will the brake, with with appropriate tire blocks, hold the tow unit resting on the incline?

Expert Reply:
I checked with Trailer Valet and the Trailer Valet 5X item # STC-V211 you referenced will function on an incline up to a 7 degree angle. The valet has a 5,000 lbs weight capacity and includes a auto-brake function that acts as a wheel chock to keep your trailer in place. You should definitely rely on tire blocks for extended periods of time.
The Drill Attachment item # TVDA you referenced will make operating the Trailer Valet easier and is highly recommended.
