You wouldn't want to try and move a trailer up an incline with the MT70881. The dolly itself would be fine but you would most likely not be able to pull that heavy of a trailer up an incline. And then if you somehow did get it going up the incline at all it would become dangerous as it would want to roll back by itself.

The only dolly we have that can do inclines safely is the Trailer Valet XL # TVXL25 which has a crank and a brake built into it. This is for a coupler with a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball. If you have a 2 inch ball instead you would want the part # TVXL2.

In the demo video I attached at the 2:20 mark you can see that our demo guy was able to move a trailer up a slight incline.
