HD Trailer Mover

7,000 kg

2.76 – 3.26 km/h


The Heavy Duty Trailer Mover is a battery-powered tow tug built to move heavy trailers and wheeled loads safely, quietly, and with minimal physical effort from the operator. Whether you’re towing boats, shunting Ground Support Equipment (GSE) and luggage trolleys at airports, pulling munition carts on military sites, repositioning mobile accommodation units, or moving modular buildings and trailers through the manufacturing process, the HD Trailer Mover suits a wide range of applications across multiple industries.

Because it runs on battery power, there are no exhaust fumes and no engine noise, so the HD Trailer Mover is equally at home indoors and outdoors. It is also designed without the handlebar vibration associated with petrol or diesel alternatives, removing the risk of Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and helping to protect operators on long or repeated shifts.

A wide choice of towing hitches and attachments is available, including a 50mm ball hitch and a NATO pintle hitch as standard. For more specialist requirements, our engineers can design and manufacture bespoke attachments to match your specific trailers or loads, making the Heavy Duty Trailer Mover one of the most adaptable tow tugs in the range.

*Indicated load capacity is ultimately subject to the rolling resistance of the load.

Frequently Asked Questions

The HD Trailer Mover is a heavy-duty electric trailer dolly designed for moving larger and heavier trailers in industrial environments. It is commonly used for towing ground support equipment (GSE), moving boat trailers, pulling modular buildings, and handling specialist trailers across manufacturing, defence, and construction sectors. As a fully electric, battery-powered machine, it produces zero emissions and minimal noise, making it suitable for indoor use, while its robust design ensures reliable performance in outdoor environments.

The HD Trailer Mover is rated to move trailers up to 7,000 kg, making it suitable for significantly heavier loads than standard pedestrian tugs. As with all electric tugs, actual performance will depend on surface conditions, gradients, and the condition of the trailer’s wheels and bearings.

Yes. The HD Trailer Mover is designed with increased torque and traction to cope with more demanding environments, including gentle gradients and uneven outdoor surfaces. For applications such as slipways, yards, or rough ground, it offers far greater control and safety compared to manual handling or lighter-duty equipment.

The HD Trailer Mover is widely used across industries that require safe movement of heavy trailers, including:

  • Marine and boat handling
  • Airports and ground support equipment (GSE)
  • Construction and modular buildings
  • Military and defence applications
  • Manufacturing and heavy engineering

Its versatility makes it suitable wherever trailers need to be moved in controlled environments.

A wide range of towing options are available, including 50mm ball hitches, NATO pintle hitches, and towing eye/pin combinations. Bespoke attachments can also be designed for non-standard trailers or specialist applications, ensuring a secure and efficient connection in every use case.

You should consider the HD Trailer Mover if your trailers exceed 2,500 kg, are used on slopes, or are moved frequently in demanding environments. It is also the better choice where added control, traction, and durability are required for long-term use.
