Ratings & Reviews
The trailer dolly is extremely useful in moving trailer type loads into tight locations...assembly was very easy to follow...very well built...tires are pneumonic, so you need to be careful of sharp objects on the ground...it would be helpful to have a parts list...I changed the bolt(2"x3/8") that is used to change the height of the ball hitch to a wire round lynch pin, it did not make sense to use a bolt when it is most likely that the height will change...I would recommend this product...
Had bought this after trying a cheaper inferior product. This item has worked well on my 17' bay boat. The other product was bad. It had not bearings in the wheels and the tires were just solid. This uses aired up tires, and has bearings in the wheels. It makes a difference on my back. The height is just perfect and the handle is long enough to use easily. I would buy again and would recommend.
This item surprised me! I was told I could push or pull my RV even in grass, level ground of course. I could. My RV is under 2700lbs(Geo Pro 15 TB). If ground is wet, my wife holds the RV Dolly and I slightly push and it goes where we want it just fine. If you are on level concrete or asphalt you would have no problem at all. I wouldn't use this product or any other similar product if you were on very sloped surfaces, due to the momentum of your RV getting away from you...very dangerous. But... if used correctly, this product is a back saver. Highly recommend! Finally, etrailer was the best! Customer service, follow up, delivery, all top notch.
The Rack'Em Trailer Dolly is a game changer for us. We have a 2018 Airstream Bambi 16RB and this dolly enables us to park and retrieve our camper in our paved side yard quickly. The access to that area is very tight with angled entry. Was very tough, time consuming and frustrating to try and park it with our TV hitched. This dolly solves all issues and does not require a bunch of strength to move our 3000 lb. trailer on a level surface. My wife can even do it! Very well built...it looks like it will stand the test of time as well.
Great dolly! I got this to replace one I got or like $75. That was a piece of crap: cheap construction, bolts that came loose, metal that bent easily. This one is exactly what a trailer dolly should be: high quality, sturdy construction.
Appears to be a good, workable unit. There is too much snow here now to do work. Easy to assemble, except - no instructions nor diagram regarding the washers (they are for mounting the wheels). Needs to be protected from weather.
I plan to move the wood splitter with this dolly. Also, loan to friends. Handy to move things around the yard with out hooking to a vehicle.

The unit works fine, the tires are marginal. Would be nice to have a choice of hitch size.
Great dolly, even though I've only used it a couple times. I have no more use for it and I'm actively trying to sell it. Please let me know if I can sell my (lightly) used dolly on your site.
The RA 20 went together easily. No problems on assembly. My trailer is in the paint shop right now so I have not used the RA 20 to move the trailer yet. Later this week. I will use the RA20 to move my 16', double axle, flat bed trailer.
Rather than use a bolt and nut to hold the ball vertically in place change to a Clevis pin and clip to ease in vertical movement.
What is your recommendation for air pressure?

30 PSI will give you the full weight capacity of 300 pounds.
We live on a large lot that generates a considerable amount of green waste and I have a dump trailer specifically for taking it to the recycling station. To optimize space on the paved pad I park the trailer in a way that doesn't allow backing the pickup directly to the trailer. I was somewhat dubious that this dolly would permit one old guy to pull the loaded trailer around and take it to the pickup but in fact it works just fine - it's a workout but I can do it. I'm very happy with this purchase and use the dolly regularly.

Its been a year and Ive had no issues, the only maintenance has been putting air in the tires. I cut a stick to make it easy to adjust the trailer tongue to the perfect height for the dolly, that was a good investment of five minutes.
I received the RA20 trailer dolly and was able to put it together rather easily. I have used it a few times, and find it much easier to move my 17' Tracker boat in and out of the garage. I have the post extended to its maximum height, and I do lower the trailer's jack stand to make it all work.

Thank you for the email. To be honest, I have found the dolly to be more difficult to use this year than last. I dont know if this has to do with the bigger heavier motor that I installed this year, the tires may be under-inflated, or...I got weaker over the Winter. : In any case, I think its a good buy for most situations, and I just need to figure out how I can make this work better. I still use it, so thats a plus.
I browsed through several web sites, but etrailer had the best organization and the most information. I had just purchased a small 4' x 6' 2000 lb. trailer that I use for picking up machinery for the shop.
I needed a good dolly to maneuver the trailer to the chain hoist and chose the RA20. I ordered it on Thursday and it was delivered Friday, outstanding service. The dolly is well made with good wheels, assembled in 15 minutes and went to work. A nice piece of machinery if used within its specifications. Well pleased.

Excellent service, I am still very pleased.
I got this to move my 6x12 enclosed Haulmark trailer around...with some custom cabinets built into the front, the tongue weight is around 300lbs empty, and can push 400lbs when loaded with gear, dirt bikes, etc. Occasionally I need to move the empty trailer, and having to hook the truck up to do that was a PITA, and no way do I want to blow out my back and bang up my knees trying to lift and move it myself...I'm a big strong guy and there is no way to gain proper leverage without this dolly - it works great and will save me a lot of hassle/strain from now on! My only complaint is the handle should be twice as wide - it's too narrow.

Well after more usage over the past few years, Ive decided this unit is going to be replaced ... the wheelbase is too narrow, which results in the jack foot hitting the tires, andor the dolly goes up on 1 wheel and tips over, making it impossible to do sharp turns ... VERY annoying. To improve on this unit, they should beef up the axle and widen the stance around 12, along with a wider handle for overall better leverage/mechanical advantage. Also, the hardware tends to come loose, but since Ive loc-tited all the fasteners, it seems to be holding up. If that doesnt work, nyloc nuts might be a better option.
I use this trailer dolly to move a Boston Whaler Super Sport 130 and trailer (about 1300 lbs.) from my driveway into my garage. The driveway is relatively level with a dip for drainage and a small lip into the garage. The dolly works extremely well navigating the boat and trailer into fairly tight quarters. It requires a bit of push to get the boat and trailer up the slope of the drainage dip and over the lip into the garage, but is reasonably doable for one person. The driveway and garage are concrete surfaces. I think that this trailer dolly is good for weights up to about 1,500 lbs. over relatively level, paved surfaces. The dolly is well-made, and the large tires provide for leverage.

Yes. Excellent after a year of use.
I can't believe how much easier it is to move my 1600 pound sailboat and trailer around my driveway! This leverage and steering control makes all the difference, since I always move the boat myself. I did not rate the product excellent because assembly was problematic. The main problem is the axle fits way too tightly into the wheels, so that when assembling I had to hammer it home from both sides. It ultimately worked, but a real pain.

Still going strong. A good product for sure!
This seems like a pretty good product, especially compared to others I looked at online for around the same price. This is designed to be an occasional use, non professional dolly and it works fine with my small enclosed cargo trailer that weights about 1100 lbs and has a 120 lb hitch weight empty ( if that much). If you were planning on moving your tandem axle camping trailer you might be disappointed. Over all I am very pleased with the purchase.

Its been a year and the dolly has held up well. Still very happy with the purchase.
Very Fast Shipping ,Trailer Dolly works very good on a 6x10 trailer.
Paul's customer service is excellent, particularly when double checking our remote off-grid address. It ensured the dolly got to us swiftly and efficiently. We have several units requiring this dolly, which is absolutely adequate to our off-grid operations on the homestead.

Our trailer dolly is a great assist here on the homestead, especially as housebuilding necessitates moving our trailers about to accommodate deliveries of building materials.
This is an excellent and well-designed piece of gear. It's heavy duty and the axle is strong enough to prevent deformation under heavy loads. Also, the tires have stayed well inflated and after one year have only recently required a little more air pressure. I'm very happy with this Rackem product and would happily buy it again.
Was easy to assemble and looks like good quality workmanship. I've used it twice over the weekend to move my boat from the side of the driveway. So far this dolly has made the job much easier then pushing or pulling the boat and trailer with the small jack wheel wanting to turn direction all the time. It's a tight fit between my house and fence but this dolly makes it easy to move and position the boat. I believe the large wheels on the dolly is the key.
When I saw how the trailer dolly was packaged, I knew I had made a good decision. It was heavily boxed and well protected (see attached photo). I use it to pull my 500 lb. outboard skiff out of a basement and up a rather steep graveled grade (see other attached photo). I'm 67 and before I got the trailer dolly it took a tremendous amount of effort to pull the boat out by grabbing the coupler with one hand and the winch support with the other. I usually had to stop and rest at least once and hope it didn't roll back down. Now the boat comes out without having to stop and with much less effort. I've had the RA20 trailer dolly for a year now and the boat is being used a lot more!
I ordered the Rack’em RA20 Trailer Dolly from etrailer to assist in loading our 16 ft. boat into our self-made boat hauler/camper. It was delivered as scheduled. It is definitely better quality than the dolly my son bought at a local tool store. It makes it easy to move the boat even on the ballast rock parking lot where the trailer and boat are in storage. It gives me full control of loading the boat into the camper with less than three inches of clearance on each side, using a remote control winch mounted in the trailer. Without the RA20 it would be next to impossible to control the loading. It's a great tool.
This tool is fabulous for my use. I live on a steep hill in East Tennessee. I can tow my 15' Feathercraft Aluminum boat up the hill to a level area, uncouple, then make an 180º turn into the garage bay with little to no effort. Absolutely the right tool for the job! Christina was a gem to work with. I would recommend this tool and etrailer

Hey y’all, I’ve had my trailer dolly for a year. I wouldn’t trade it for a spotted pup. It is fabulous. It has held up, I keep the boat coupled to it in the garage. I’m able to maneuver the boat 180° on concrete effortlessly. I am a girl FWIW Would recommend this product to anyone thinking about a trailer dolly. Big heavy duty tires & one piece solid handle let this little guy do the work so l don’t have to. A on the board.
I haven't tried using it yet, so I can't say how well it works yet, but it appears to be very solid. The wheels/tires are much larger than the ones on my Harbor Freight dolly which gives me impression I will be able to more easily move my boat & pop-up trailer.
With regards to putting it together - I followed the instructions, but wasn't able to connect the smaller top stablizer bar. The holes did NOT line up. I had to go back & loosen all the other nuts before I could line up the holes on the stablizer bar. Once that was connected, I went back and tightended all the other nuts.
I personally feel using a bolt/nut on the adjustable ball is a poor design that doesn't allow for rapid adjustment. So I used a pin instead as shown in the picture.

Working out very well. Much easier to move my 2000lb popup trailer over level terrain.
I had a very tight storage area for my camper and had to unhitch, move and re-hitch my tow vehicle to get it inside the building. There is only 6 inches on each side. I ordered the Rack'em trailer dolly and it was easy to assemble and has worked great saving me the 30-45 minutes struggling with my camper before. With the trailer dolly, I can easily push it right into place. It is well built and sturdy. the big wheels make a big difference. I highly recommend this piece of equipment.

It has been fine. I do have to keep airing the tires up as they have a tendency to leak air. the unit itself works fine.
We love this dolly! We use it to move our jet ski trailer from our driveway to our wooded backyard for the winter. We've also used it to move a vertical log splitter from our driveway to the wooded backyard.
My only compliant is the tire pin broke. I have no idea if etrailer sells 1 tire pin for this model so I used a plastic anchor to replace it. It's not the best fix, but it works.
