I have a Powermover AC5 low profile model that I use to move my boat up a slight incline into the garage. It is a tight fit and I wouldn't be able to do it without the Powermover. Also used it with my previous tt, a lightweight Chalet folding trailer. Have not used it with my current tt as I keep it at a RV and boat storage facility, and just use my tv to back the trailer into its garage.
I see a mention of electric brake controller on the website's description of the AC5. Don't know what they mean by that. I can say that with my model, the mover has to come to a complete stop before it can be switched from forward to reverse or reverse to forward. Sometimes I have to lean into it pretty hard to get it stopped if the momentum is going downhill.
A couple of years ago the tires started losing traction and slipping.
I noticed that the tires had pretty low pressure. After inflating them to the correct pressure, the traction returned to excellent.
The AC5 is well-made. Pricey too.

:) Hi, Bruce; The Powermover does have a brake switch on it. It uses the trailer brakes. Seems like the small tires (bicycles, hand trucks, Etc) lose air pressure over time. At least mine do.
