Geographic Reach & Capabilities

Manufacturing and Headquarters located in Richfield, Ohio (3778 Timberlake Dr, Richfield, OH 44286).

Products used to move planes, trailers, and dumpsters all around world.

While ecommerce website facilitates shipping within United States, ships outside US with international customers contacting directly for purchase.

Recommend using units on flat, solid, smooth surfaces such as concrete or asphalt. Depending on situation, packed gravel and hard grass/dirt can work with upgraded caster recommended.

Incline Capability:

Most inclines up to 5-6% will work depending on total weight and selected unit.

Rule of thumb: for every percentage point increase in incline, effective total weight increases by 10%.

Example: 7,000 lb trailer up 3% incline increases by 2,100 lbs (30% x 7,000 lbs) for effective weight of 9,100 lbs.

Take closer look at anything over 5% incline.

Can move over snow/ice with pair of snow chains highly recommended.
