Helpful Expert Reply:
That's certainly a reasonable assumption, but the capacity of the trailer dolly won't actually be a factor in how easily it moves your trailer.
What matters is the dolly itself and how it's configured. For example, I recommend the Rack'em Trailer Dolly # RA20, which has a 500 lb tongue weight capacity with 24" wheel spacing for easy maneuverability.
This dolly will work with a coupler that accepts a 1-7/8" hitch ball; if you need a dolly with a 2" ball I have added a link below to our entire selection of dollies for you.
