Easily move and reposition boat trailers without hooking them up to a truck. They’re great for sliding trailers into tight spaces where a truck can’t maneuver. Each has a 600-lb. capacity.

I assembled the 600 pound version despite poor instructions with tiny print, and found one of the brace pieces did not fit very well. The tires also had to be inflated. After loading the trailer on it, one of the wheels began to warp as soon as I started moving the trailer. The wheels in particular seem to be rather flimsy for the weight they are supposed to bear, but the frame seems strudy enough. This will be going back for a refund.
I was looking for something to help move my 14' ATV trailer around the driveway and garage. The hitch height adjustability got my attention, so even though this is a new Cabela's product I took a chance and ordered it. I assembled it this evening and can offer the following comments:
It went together with much cussing and a bit of improvisation. Typical off-shore manufacturing QC - nothing quite lined up. Don't even think of tightening any bolts until everything is more-or-less loosely bolted together. And getting the hitch ball into the post was truly an adventure. The threads in the post #a crudely welded-in nut# were obviously buggered at the starting course. The ball wouldn't even come close to engaging the threads. I didn't have a tap large enough to chase the nut, so used a small angled awl to gouge out something resembling the start of a thread. After liberal doses of FP-10 and careful tapping/turning with a hammer and wrench with the post in a bench vise, I got the ball started and eventually screwed it in #with much force, I might add#.
If you're not handy with tools and such, this is not the product for you. It's not going to fall together out of the box.
Once it was assembled, I played around with it a bit. It's probably too early to tell without more experience, but my first impression is that the angle of the post to the handle is a bit too acute. The balance point feels awkward #too high#, and pulling/pushing is far more of a struggle than it should be. However, I was not in the best frame of mind by the time I got it together. I'll try to update this as I get more hands-on experience.
