To good to be true- trailer mover

I can see that it would work, if it were the lightest model made, which is for 3500 lb. trailer. It only has to carry about 500 lbs. or less, and it says nothing about how fast it will move. If it were geared very low, it could work. It wouldn't work long since I imagine all the inner workings are plastic and pot metal.

My main concern would be the idea that after ordering it, you would see neither your cash or the gadget. Yeah, the website is a scam would be my bet.

I have the 3500lb model and it does work, even in loose gravel and dirt and moves along at a good speed, works better than my manual trailer valet that wont work in loose gravel or dirt.


When I head out by myself it makes moving my stacker trailer easy all the way up to the hitch, it cost $2000 and is very well built.


This company here sells there brand for less, its what I have.

Remote Controlled Trailer Mover Rated 3500lbs. And Down Press. 650lbs,track Mounted Weighs 38lbs.

Regardless of if its a scam or not. How is that thing not going to tumble over on itself either when it stops and the trailer keeps moving or when it turns? I don't like the design of this one!

If I were a true Redneck with a welder I'd make up some sort of triple wheeled as large as possible tires for soft ground, bogey with a bar that can be hooked to my small lawn tractor.

Yup. Always on perfectly level, dry concrete.

$80 for a $4K item, and free shipping from China to boot...

Yeah, OK, whatever.

I fell for one of these types of websites earlier this year. My BS radar detector went off when I found the site initially, and the price for what I was searching for was really low. Not "Oh My Gawd, that's crazy", but definitely "Wow, that is a really good price" cheap. But the website was such that it sent out a ton of bad vibes. So I ordered the part, and used a one-time credit card number so I wouldn't have my real credit card compromised.

I also took several screen shots of all the steps in the order process, so I would have backup, just in case. Which turned out to be a good idea since there was no order form copy anywhere to be found after the order was processed. No account info, no shipping address, nada. And there was nothing on the website that said the site was based anywhere other than in the USA, unless you happened to think the wording and syntax was off a bit in places. Which I did.

They said expect to receive my product in 2-3 weeks, which of course was the first overt red flag. 2-weeks, nothing. 3 weeks nothing. Email questions were sent, and email received said it was on it's way. After about 3 1/2 weeks I got a package worth about 1/10 of what I was supposed to get and resembled it in no way, shape, or form. After about 2 1/2 months of emails, and after getting the CC company involved, I received a charge back to my CC. No explanations, no apologies, no part.

I was never really worried because I had everything documented, and the CC company had no issues with stopping payment if I didn't get my stuff, but it all worked out in the end. "If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is".

That's only one of the bargains on that website. They have a 4 seater electric car that does 56 mph for $199. All kinds of too good to be true stuff available there!

I found the mover elsewhere and the reviews were positive. Only thing is, it's $4k.
