A Trailer Valet can handle any sized trailer provided it meets the weight limits of that particular model. We recommend inviting a second person to guide your trailer from the opposite end, especially in tight spaces, as turning requirements can vary widely according to the trailer’s dimensions. Each Trailer Valet model has a high and low gear train. The 5X has a low gear ratio of 12:1 and a high gear ratio of 4:1. Yes, if the total tongue weight does not exceed a limit of 500 lbs for the 5X. Due to its design, the 5X is ideal for boats and cargo trailers. The 5X supports up to 5,000 lbs. Other Trailer Valet models are capable of supporting variable loads. Each Trailer Valet model can handle its own degree of slope depending on the weight of the trailer and tongue, surface type, and trailer weight distribution. We welcome you to send our support team a picture of the full surface (with clear surface type and angle of slope) including your trailer specs. We can help determine suitability for any of our products and make a recommendation. The 5X would require space on the hitch for the mounting bracket. If this space is not available, we would recommend considering one of our coupler/hitch mount options. To move the 5X, you can use a drill and an optional adapter TVDA (TVDA included with the TV5XDA) using the drill attachment; however, this method should only be used when moving your trailer on level surfaces. To avoid injury, the user should have a firm grip and ensure brake disengagement. We recommend using a cordless, non-impact electric drill with a torque output of at least 200 lb-in. We do not recommend using electric drill attachments other than the one designed specifically for the Trailer Valet; our attachment employs a unique design to ensure a snug fit on the gear axles. The drill attachment can be purchased online or over the phone. 80 psi. *Note: Pneumatic tires that require inflation are only found on older 5X units. New units are solid rubber Only the 5X is able to be put into a stow position. You must crank its wheels off the ground, pull the pin which holds it in a vertical position, rotate the unit horizontally and reinsert the pin. However, this is not possible with any other Trailer Valet unit: they must be removed from the coupler and properly stored before trailering. The Trailer Valet has an integrated brake which will automatically engage when the handle is released. However, the brake works most reliably on flat surfaces. Our brake acts as a dead man’s or emergency brake. The Trailer Valet brake hinders all horizontal movement, but cannot slow down during use. Speed is controlled only by the crank. The 5X can operate only on tightly packed grass with hard soil or tightly packed gravel. We do not recommend using any of our models on other soft or loose surfaces. The Trailer Valet will not move on sandy, muddy, rocky, or severely bumpy ground. If you are unsure whether or not your surface is tightly packed enough, send a clear picture of the surface including your trailer specs to our support email. Do not assume it will. The function of a Trailer Valet does not exclusively depend on weight; the size, weight distribution, and frame/coupler of your trailer will impact performance. Consult with technical support before making a decision. The Trailer Valet does not come with a lock. However, the safety bolt (Part Number 21b) behind the 5X mounting bracket can be used to secure the Trailer Valet. If further security is required, consider purchasing a locking bolt from a local hardware store. We do not recommend mixing parts. The Trailer Valet includes a mounting bracket that is designed and tested to be 100% compatible with the Trailer Valet. Due to rotational forces that the mounting bracket may experience when the auto-brake is engaged, only use the mounting bracket included with the Trailer Valet. The Trailer Valet mounting bracket comes with stainless steel bolts for strength and rust protection. We do not sell or provide a protective case or bag for the Trailer Valet at this time. No. Repeated or prolonged contact with water will damage the gears and chains that operate the Trailer Valet and erode lubricants. Perform maintenance on your unit at a minimum regularity of 3 months; refer to the manual and/or our YouTube maintenance videos for instructions on how to properly grease the chains and bushings. Wipe down the Trailer Valet with a clean cloth after each use, especially the 5X if it was attached to your trailer during travel. Do not leave your Trailer Valet exposed to the elements for extended periods. Avoid contact with water. Do not depend solely on the Trailer Valet to keep your trailer raised, as unexpected horizontal movements can cause the device to collapse, damaging both the Trailer Valet and coupler. When possible, remove the Trailer Valet and store in a dry, cool place to ensure durability. Yes, The TV5XMK Maintenance kit includes all you need. 7 x Gear Bushings 10 x Panel Screws 4 x C-Clips for Drive Shaft 1 x Grease Tube Axle Screw Assembly (2 axle bushings and brass spacers, 2 axle screws, 2 screw casings) 5X Axle Chain. No special tools are required. Basic hand tools should be sufficient for installing the parts included in the kit. For heavy boats, this problem may occur when there is insufficient weight on the tongue and excess weight on the tail. Make sure the tires are firmly planted on the ground, and lower the jack further if necessary. Consider shifting more of the trailer’s weight forward or cleaning debris from the surface below the tire. When using a manually cranked Trailer Valet like the 5X, do not stop cranking while making a sharp turn. Doing so will place tremendous stress on the leading tire, and may damage the valve stem. The wheels must be in motion when turning. If your trailer or boat is oriented back-first up an incline, the 5X can be used to push it up. Attempting to pull your trailer nose first up an incline poses both safety and property risks. The chain is made to have some slack to the unit because of the weight being tolled.  When the weight is added on the unit, the chain will tighten over the sprocket. Chains do tend to stretch out over time due to the excessive use and weight. We have noticed this problem on our more recent models and we are currently making improvements to fix it. One solution is applying a thread lock liquid onto the screw threads and re-inserting the screw into the tire axle. If you continue to have problems, please contact us. No. The Trailer Valet is only to be installed on trailer tongues that have a rectangular profile. Cylindrical frames are not compatible with the Trailer Valet as they will rotate, allowing the trailer to drop.
