Take the back breaking hard work out of moving your boat, caravan, horse float or any heavy and difficult to move trailer.
The Mighty Mover runs on its own 12v battery power supply, it's designed for low speed maneuvering helping you park your boat, caravan or heavy trailer load into very tight areas where your car or truck can't go. Simply lower the tongue of your trailer down onto the Mighty Mover's tow ball and lock in place just as you would on the back of your vehicle. Then using the handlebar switch or remote control you can precisely park your trailer exactly where you want it.
Can be used over rough terrain, shingle, concrete, asphalt, wood, just about any level surface. Flat sealed surfaces provide for the best operating conditions, If you feel you have difficult driveway, e.g. inclined, rough surface or any other issue that you feel may create poor towing surface/conditions we would be happy to provide advice on your best towing solution for your needs.

Please feel free to call on 021 703 476 at any time. voltmotive (25 • Wednesday, 31 January 2018can you add pictures of the remote control please and how far away can you use the remote from the trolley? thanks Shane 44P 4*p (134 • 11:51 am, Thu, 1 FebThe remote control is hand held, most of our clients simply use the handlebar switch to control the mover, the remote is handy when moving say a caravan or a large boat and one can't see any obstacles behind, the remote allows the operator to nudge the towed vehicle closer to the parking spot (wall end of garage etc.) by controlling the mover from the other end of the vehicle. The range is approx 5 to 6 mtrs. Such maneuvers will usually require another person at the mover end to steer. voltmotive (25 • Thursday, 1 February 2018hi, does this have a motor driving each wheel or one motor driving both wheels? thanks Shane. 4*p (134 • 09:52 pm, Sun, 4 FebThe motor drives both wheels simultaneously through a fixed axle which reduces wheel spin and increases traction. Very easy to turn. voltmotive (25 • Sunday, 4 February 2018Hi, how much to ship to Hamilton? j******1 (249 • 10:34 am, Thu, 8 Feb$95.00 +GST to Hamilton and suburbs.

Cheers k***a (478 • 10:50 am, Fri, 9 FebThere are many variables to answer with your question. If you would be happy to give me a call we can discuss your towing needs and provide suggestions accordingly. My number is 021 703 476 voltmotive (25 • Friday, 9 February 2018Hi does it come with a warranty s*******e (380 • 01:49 pm, Thu, 22 FebYes it he Mighty Mover has a 12 month warranty voltmotive (25 • Thursday, 22 February 2018Hi there, what is the maximum tow-ball weight it is designed for? My heaviest trailer is about 1.3 tonnes, I am guessing this can push a load like that up a moderate incline? p******i (465 • 10:48 am, Mon, 26 FebThe tow ball weight is irrelevant as the jockey wheel remains down during a tow, pre-loading the downward weight on the coupling and through to the mover tires (traction) is controlled by winding the jockey wheel slightly up or down until a comfortable level is found. We would like to discuss incline towing as there are a number of important considerations around this. voltmotive (25 • Monday, 26 February 2018HI ... have a 8.5m boat max weight 3.5 tonne and wish to park it around the side of the house very tight turn do you have anything for this plus how far on one charge will this unit operate... thanks m********o (453 • 04:14 am, Sat, 24 MarPlease cal me to discuss on 021 703 476 voltmotive (25 • Saturday, 24 March 2018hi, whats with the $400:00 price increase in the last few days? thanks 4*p (134 • 08:30 pm, Tue, 3 AprUnfortunately as mentioned in the ad text, we have absorbed supply Increases over the last couple of years to where we simply have to increase the mover price. We are happy to honour the old price for a limited period of time for enquiries made by customers prior to today's price increase. Thanks for the enquiry. Regards Vic voltmotive (25 • Tuesday, 3 April 2018Just purchased one of these units. Have not had a chance to use it yet, I will update this once I do. Just wanted to for the time being offer a glowing reference to Vic. The communication and service was exceptional. I wish all retailers were like Vic. Thank you and really appreciate everything.. I will come back with a review of the Mighty Mover once I have had a chance to try it out in the next week and a bit.. a********d (205 • 03:54 pm, Fri, 20 AprAppreciate your kind comments regards Vic voltmotive (25 • Friday, 20 April 2018hi there; looking at getting some help. i recently bought the mover but keeps lifting off when i try backing the boat. it has the tow bar on the top part. (2014 model.) do you sell any accessories or converting parts that i could add on so it turns into the model similar to the one shown in the picture above?? cheers' q*****t (1688 • 08:18 pm, Wed, 2 MayHi, The Mighty Mover should have a collar that sits around the tow ball, the tow ball adjust up or down in the tow ball carrier arm (this is achieved by loosening the tow ball locking nut) and turning the tow ball which is threaded into the tow ball arm, once the trailer coupling is locked onto the tow ball there should be no clearance between the top or the anti-torque ring and the underside edge of the trailer coupling. Once this adjustment is correct and this may take a few finer adjustment voltmotive (25 • Wednesday, 2 May 2018thanks Vic! thats highly appreciated. i can easily see how this can resolve the issue for good. cheers' q*****t (1688 • 10:31 am, Fri, 4 MayMy pkeasure voltmotive (25 • Friday, 4 May 2018would you have the collar available separately? just in case its not there. i cant recall very well if the unit has a collar. cheers' q*****t (1688 • 10:33 am, Fri, 4 MayThe collars are welded to the tow ball arm so unless the entire arm is missing it should be there. voltmotive (25 • Friday, 4 May 2018Are these OK to use in the rain as weather doesn't always co-operate when it's time to put the caravan away :( i********n (306 • 09:49 am, Thu, 7 JunYes fine to use in the rain as with all electrical equipment it would be prudent to cover the electrical areas if the rain is heavy. Also note traction may be impaired due to the wet. voltmotive (25 • Thursday, 7 June 2018Traction Impairment understood. What IP Rating do the electrical components comply with? i********n (306 • 09:57 am, Thu, 7 JunSplash proof only - no IP rating voltmotive (25 • Thursday, 7 June 2018is there a video of this in operation anywhere to view? p****c (430 • 07:42 am, Thu, 21 JunSorry not currently. voltmotive (25 • Thursday, 21 June 2018Hi I have a 2700kg boat and trailer, the trailr has a jockey stand - not a wheel, can this move it as you state the wheel stays down but I don't have one and it would just get stuck in the grass anyway t****1 (75 • 12:53 pm, Mon, 10 SepHello, Thanks for the inquiry. The Mighty Mover traction is controlled by the up and down adjustment of the towed vehicle's jockey wheel. In your instance where there is no Jockey wheel and just a stand this unfortunately will not work and isn't fit for purpose. If you replaced the stand with an appropriate jockey wheel, then the only consideration is "will the jockey wheel move over the grassed area" Please call to discuss 021 703 476 voltmotive (25 • Monday, 10 September 2018Hi where is your show room here in wellington?

Could you tell me where I can get a new battery from and perhaps a photo of how the wiring reconnects as I failed to take a photo before I removed... Many thanks in advance n*******6 (27 • 09:54 pm, Sun, 6 JanHi Any Marshall/Exide battery store should be able to help. From memory we used either a #5 or #6 battery in those models, any 12v battery will be fine so long as the physical dimensions allow the battery to fit the battery box. Sorry we don't have any pictures. The charging port is important to ensure the polarity is connected to the battery correctly as otherwise the charger protection fuse will blow. (Use a multi meter to determine the polarity) Regards Vic voltmotive (25 • Sunday, 6 January 2019Hi, do you know if any of these have been adapted to be used as 'tugs' for small aircraft like a Cessna 172?

Watch this space. voltmotive (25 • Sunday, 12 May 2019how are these on sand for those diffucult boat ramps on for a jet ski k************s (1063 • 01:07 pm, Thu, 6 JunWe can fit tires with a more aggressive tread pattern if required, the MM is primarily designed to operate over reasonably flat sealed ground. Traction at the MM drive tires is achieved in part by the down-ward weight at the draw bar/coupling of the towed vehicle. In your situation where a jet ski/trailer is quite light this can sometimes work against a successful tow and create MM wheel/tire spin. Please call to discuss your needs in more detail 021703 476. voltmotive (25 • Thursday, 6 June 2019Hi, how many meters a minute is the trevel speed, Regards, Graham. m***********h (76 • 07:49 pm, Thu, 13 JunSorry we haven't actually measured this, we understand it's a subjective assessment but approx 1/2 walking speed.

Cheers a************e (75 • 05:22 pm, Tue, 15 OctNo that's the rating of the motor prior to the final drive ratios being applied. We have some customers that move over 3000kgs on flat sealed ground. The traction, weight and terrain are all important considerations when moving heavy vehicles. voltmotive (25 • Tuesday, 15 October 2019hi vic. this is the first time that I have made contact.(spoken on phone? not me} just would like to know if any outlet near Palmerston north. cheers p******5 (302 • 10:14 pm, Tue, 15 OctHi thanks for the enquiry.
