Trailer caddies
I have a tight drive way. Any ideas as to what kind of trailer caddy to get? These are my parameters; 3 degree slope, concrete, 15,000 gross weight. Where do you find a used one?

Caddy for 15K FW? I'm thinking modified fork lift, or bobcat?

Explored all the same
Bobcat in decent condition = very expensive & may need accessories.
Fork lift - there are ready-made modifications available. Many/most dealers -and many repair facilities- use fork lifts to move 5th wheels. Ask around. Expect to pay about $2K or more.
Downside = *if* you need repairs that aren't DIY, you may need to transport an inoperative fork lift to a repair facility. Could be expensive! Also, used (cheap?) fork lifts may have seen better days.
Answer = Parkit 360. Mfg in Canada - Very impressive, but pricey!
Caveat/s from Parkit:
Do not exceed dolly's rated capacity.
Do not operate on more than a 4% grade.
The reps can (usually) be found at larger RV shows.
Good luck with your dilemma!
