Oh, the challenges of parking or maneuvering a trailer or the angst associated with attempting to align and connect it with a cumbersome tow vehicle! Just about any trailer owner can share stories about how often their trailer has done the exact opposite of what they wanted their trailer to do. One such scenario would be the nightmarish situation of turning a tow vehicle one way while the trailer shifts in the opposite direction, nearly hitting the car or truck, attached.
Positioning Your Trailer the Archaic Way
Steps, online, are listed that explain how to hitch a trailer the old-fashioned way: 1) adjust your mirrors to get a comprehensive view of your trailer 2) get a look-out buddy 3) position your body to get a good look behind you 4) keep your hand on the 6 o’clock position of your wheel and turn it in the direction you want the trailer to go 5) ideally, use a two-way radio when utilizing the buddy system so you needn’t yell over the sound of the engine 6) if you don’t have a two-way radio, call each other and put your phone on speakerphone.
Need we say more? The maneuvering madness and the hitching hassles involved with old-school trailer positioning does not have to remain your reality! The good news is that any frustration with all this unnecessary craziness can become a thing of the past – enter Airtug’s trailer-mover dollies – your trailering just got a whole lot easier!
We Have What Our Idaho Patrons Want!
At Airtug, we manufacture a generous array of trailer-mover dollies that are electric or gas-powered. Once you operate one, you’ll never go back to maneuvering your trailer the old-fashioned way. Say good-bye to the absurd ’12-step process’ that involves a spotter and 11 additional steps or requirements.
An Airtug motorized trailer-mover dolly can become your indispensable partner that removes the aggravation and potential hazards out of trailer alignments, parking, and positioning. A single operator enjoys a full panoramic view of his or her surroundings while the seamless 360-degree pivoting of the motorized dolly makes the positioning and parking of a trailer an absolute dream.

Does Your Idaho Business Shunt Trailers?
Does your Idaho business shunt trailers on a regular basis? Airtug’s trailer-mover dollies offer the ideal movement solution that allows for optimized efficiency and monetary savings. CDLs and logging hours can become a thing of the past – can you imagine the reduced payroll expenses? Think about it: with a motorized trailer-mover dolly, any adult employee can move trailers, at any time – efficiency is maximized.
Compared to yard trucks/shunt trucks, the compact size of a motorized dolly means enhanced movement control of trailers into the narrowest of spaces. Let’s not forget, also, that an Airtug trailer-mover dolly would be far less costly than a shunt truck which would include the vehicle’s inevitable maintenance costs.
And finally, why hire a shunt & yard-management company to move your trailers? That cost, too, could be bypassed. Business expenditure savings could add up into the thousands, and not having to spend time harmonizing a third-party shunt-management company with your own truck drivers and yard coordinators could be one less headache.

You Will Love Our Trailer-Mover Dolly Features
Each Airtug ball-hitch equipped, trailer-mover dolly includes features our Idaho customers, truly, appreciate:
Ease – The throttle-grip control system enhances the ease of user operation via an electric trans-axle or hydrostatic transmission, depending on the design. The incredible simplicity of hitching trailers or moving trailers between objects and into the tightest of spaces becomes a breeze.
Durability – The bodies of our motorized trailer dollies are MIG-welded and made of heavy-gauge, powder-coated steel frames. Powder-coating is thicker and far more durable than traditional paint and
does a superior job of combating wear-and-tear, rust and corrosion.
Safety – Heavy pushing and shoving can be dangerous for those with underlying medical conditions. With an Airtug trailer-mover dolly, the dolly does the work so you don’t have to! Each dolly, by default, offers an unencumbered panoramic view – you can count on safety during every moment of operation.
A simple twist of the throttle is so easy, and the throttle grip control offers a ‘return to brake’ feature which prevents any movement on the level ground whenever the throttle grip is released.
