Will Trailer Valet Trailer Dolly Move a 6,000 Pound Trailer at 90 Degrees Up Hill

Question:

I have a 2-axle 25foot travel trailer, about 6000 lbs. with a 550 lb tongue weight. I park it in my short driveway on a very busy street but have bike + parking lanes in which to work. The question is: can this product work with making a gradual near 90 degree backup turn into the drive which has about a 7.25 grade once I clear the sidewalk 3.5 inches over 48+ in.. I would need to move up that grade for about 12-15 ft.

Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly # TVXL25 will be able to move your trailer at the near 90 degree angle and up the incline of the driveway. The dolly has 2 gears and you will likely find that the low speed, 27 to 1 ratio will make it easier on you though more cranking will be needed. Or you can use a drill with the included drill attachment to move it much faster.
