Refurbished Trailer Valet MV PRO

To move the MV , you can use a cordless power drill with the included 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. The MV handles this well as you can use the coupler to move the trailer. This setup may prevent use of the unit with a JX or mounting bracket if there is not 8in of adequate space for installation. 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 MV supports recreational vehicles (RVs), boats, and other similarly sized towable vehicles. When using the MV PRO with a jack attached, the weight limitation becomes that of the jack. In the case of a JX jack, it maintains its own weight capacity of 2,000 lbs for the JX2S and 5,000 lbs for the JX5S. The MV Pro has a 12,000 pound towing capacity and a 1,200 maximum tongue weight capacity. The unit also has a minimum capacity of 10% of the total trailer weight. 12-15% is optimal. The Trailer Valet functions well with dual axle trailers as long as your trailer weight distribution is properly shifted toward the front of the trailer. The unit's use is limited when using with a triple axle trailer. A very large turning radius is needed to turn a triple axle trailer. The trailer valet is a tempting solution if you are trying to reduce turning radius, but this is not possible. The horizontal traction of the trailer's wheels prevents this. If turning radius is not an issue, the mover will work well as assuming you remain within tow limit ratings while maintaining 10-15% of the trailers total weight as tongue weight. 1.33 or 10:3 Upright Drill Adapter Gearbox 2.5 or 5:2 Low Gear (top left driveshaft, opposite of the upright gearbox) 2.7 or 27:10 High Gear (Lower driveshaft on either side) 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. When using the mounting bracket, the rated capacity is reduced to 8,000 pounds. This is to account for any issues posed by potential side-loading of weight on your trailer. The hand crank can be used on the high gear which is the lower driveshaft on either side of the unit or it can be used on the low gear which is the upper driveshaft on the left side of the unit (opposite the drill adapter gearbox). The smoother the surface, the better the unit can mitigate unwanted traction. The MV Pro is unusable on sand, mud, and gravel. Overall Dimensions (with standard ball tower) Approximately 24.0” tall, 8.4” wide, 16.1” long with handle stowed Approximately 24.0” tall, 8.4” wide, 27.0” long with handle extended Overall Dimensions (with JXS attached) Approximately 34.7” tall, 13.5” wide, 16.9” long with handle stowed Approximately 24.0” tall, 8.4” wide, 27.8” long with handle extended When installed correctly, the plate keeps the locking nut of the MV flush with the coupler, which in turn reduces the possibility of damage on the coupler should the MV pivot due to excess horizontal force. Install the plate by placing it under the ball before threading the ball into the cradle on the MV. It can be reversed if necessary to achieve a tight fit depending on the shape of your coupler.
