Can the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack Be Operated on a 5 to 6 Degree Incline?

Question:

Im considering the trailer valet 5x, and adding the TVDA drill attachment. Objective is moving an approximate 2200 lb boat/motor/trailer off a level asphalt street up a driveway either into or out of a garage. The driveway is approximately 25 long and has a 5 to 6 degree incline. Will this product handle the incline? And, will the brake, with with appropriate tire blocks, hold the tow unit resting on the incline?

I checked with Trailer Valet and the Trailer Valet 5X item # STC-V211 you referenced will function on an incline up to a 7 degree angle. The valet has a 5,000 lbs weight capacity and includes a auto-brake function that acts as a wheel chock to keep your trailer in place. You should definitely rely on tire blocks for extended periods of time.

The Drill Attachment is included and will make operating the Trailer Valet easier and is highly recommended.
