Question:
Are there any electric dollies that you sell that can push my 1,600 pound boat / trailer up my driveway which has a 10 grade before it levels out at the entrance to the garage?

Sorry Christopher but the maximum grade for the Trailer Valet Remote-Controlled Trailer Dollies like item # TVRVR9 is 5 degrees. You'll need to use a manual one like the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive item # TVXL2 for 2" or item # TVXL25 for 2-5/16". The low gear will work best up inclines on these models.
What kind of trailer do you have?

Hey Christopher, how did the Trailer Valet XL Dolly work for moving your boat up the driveway? I’m curious because it could help others with similar needs!
