Can the Trailer Valet XL Be Used on Gravel Inclines

Published 05/25/2016

Question:

Hello, I have a trailer with a tongue weight of about 400lbs and my driveway is gravel with a slight incline. Will the Valet XL handle moving the trailer into a tight spot of my driveway? Is has an internal break, correct - preventing it from rolling? Thanks

If the incline is slight and the gravel isn't super deep the Trailer Valet XL part # TVXL25 would work. But if you have a steep driveway and/or deep gravel the wheels of the Valet are going to spin.

In the video I attached a link to we show the unit being used in gravel. We also show it being used to move up a relatively steep incline.

This does also have an internal brake that is demoed in the video I mentioned. When you stop cranking the handle the brake activates.
