The Powrhitch uses two drive wheels and is one of our most powerful movers. It is quick and easy to connect by simply wheeling the unit (using the smaller dolly wheels) to your trailer and connecting directly to the coupling (or the jockey wheel clamp in the industrial model).
With the click of a rocker switch in the steering handle you can then manoeuvre your trailer either forward or reverse and into position with ease. Push the top portion of the rocker switch and the machine moves away from you pushing the load. Press the switch down and the machine pulls the load toward you. When your thumb is released, the switch goes to the neutral or off position.
The Powrhitch is powered by a 12 volt DC battery and requires a minimum ball weight of 75kg onroad or 90kg offroad for best performance.
The Powrhitch comes with the option of ball connection with onboard battery box sized for an 80AMP deep cycle battery or an adjustable jockey post which can be positioned in your existing clamp and a 2 metre power cable to connect to your battery. The jockey post Powrhitch must be used for any caravan or boat that has an override coupling.
The Powrhitch can move up to 3,000kg on a level, paved surface or up to 2,500kg with a slight grade (it is not suitable for slopes over 1 in 8) and has an output power of 185 Nm torque using a 12 volt DC battery.
The Powrhitch also comes with a choice of standard onroad tyres or all terrain offroad tyres. (Please note that for heavier caravans you may wish to order foam filled tyres for an additional $100. These are designed to take additional weight without risk of punctures etc).
