Not everyone is lucky enough to have wide-open spaces for their trailer. If you have a boat trailer, horse trailer, camper or flatbed for other toys, there’s a good chance you have to store it somewhere that doesn’t have a ton of space for maneuverability. It might be tough to get your trailer (and whatever it’s hauling) all the way into that space, including your truck or SUV that you’re using to tow it. The best way to solve for this is a trailer dolly.
A trailer dolly is a handheld wheeled tool that can handle the weight of the trailer and turns on a dime, allowing you to position the trailer just by walking it into position. There are different types of trailer dollies for various weight classes and uses. We’ve compiled some of the best trailer dollies available today, including heavy-duty and even powered dollies, as well as ones that will fit various budgets.
