A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire
I would imagine our boat is at the upper end of the manufactures specs as well. The boat weighs in at around 3 tonne and rides on a tandem axle trailer with a tongue load of 280kg. Even on flat concrete I could not push the boat by hand. I used my vehicle to get the boat roughly in place and the mighty mover to finish the job. As the boat was parked on wet grass/ mud the vehicle would skid as soon as the rear tyres hit the grass, at this stage I’d put the mighty mover on and push it back into place with no issues. It was also great when you just needed to quickly move the boat to mow the lawns etc. I never tried it on loose gravel.
There are a number of considerations in answering this question. The degree of the incline The weight of the towed vehicle. The surface being moved over, is the surface sealed (concrete or ash felt) Should our customers be considering moving over an incline please call us to discuss your personal towing needs, we happy to discuss your towing requirements and provide a suitable solution.
Please call on 021 703476 to discuss your towing requirements in more depth Regards Vic

Weight 95kg’s Dimensions L930mm x W630mm x H600mm Please call on 021 703 476 if you require further assistance
The standard height from the ground to the tow ball is 430mm, the tow ball carrier plate may be adjusted a further 50mm making 480mm, plus the shank of the tow ball can be spaced by a further 30mm making a max 510mm from the ground.
Please call on 021 703 476 we’d be happy to discuss the best towing option for you.
Yes reasonably quite, you’ll just hear a low electric motor whirl during it’s operation
Merry Christmas
Sorry we don’t at this time
Yes we do, please forward your contact details we’ll have our Auckland agent call you to arrange a time
to view.
Sorry we don’t currently have a dealer in Tauranga, Unfortunately we don’t take credit cards only bank
transfer. We’re more than happy to discuss your towing requirements over the phone, we can then provide
suitable advice for the best towing solution for your needs. Please feel free to call on 021 703 476 at any
time.
The remote control is hand held, most of our clients simply use the handlebar switch to control the
mover, the remote is handy when moving say a caravan or a large boat and one can’t see any obstacles
behind, the remote allows the operator to nudge the towed vehicle closer to the parking spot (wall end of
garage etc.) by controlling the mover from the other end of the vehicle. The range is approx.. 5 to 6 mtrs.
Such manoeuvres will usually require another person at the mover end to steer.
The motor drives both wheels simultaneously through a fixed axle which reduces wheel spin and
increases traction. Very easy to turn.
$95.00 +GST to Hamilton and suburbs.
There are many variables to answer with your question. If you would be happy to give me a call we can
discuss your towing needs and provide suggestions accordingly. My number is 021 703 476
Yes it he Mighty Mover has a 12 month warranty
The tow ball weight is irrelevant as the jockey wheel remains down during a tow, pre-loading the
downward weight on the coupling and through to the mover tires (traction) is controlled by winding the
jockey wheel slightly up or down until a comfortable level is found. We would like to discuss incline
towing as there are a number of important considerations around this.
Please cal me to discuss on 021 703 476
Unfortunately as mentioned in the ad text, we have absorbed supply Increases over the last couple of
years to where we simply have to increase the mover price. We are happy to honour the old price for a
limited period of time for enquiries made by customers prior to today’s price increase. Thanks for the
enquiry.
Appreciate your kind comments regards Vic
Hi, The Mighty Mover should have a collar that sits around the tow ball, the tow ball adjusts up or
down in the tow ball carrier arm (this is achieved by loosening the tow ball locking nut) and turning the
tow ball which is threaded into the tow ball arm, once the trailer coupling is locked onto the tow ball there
should be no clearance between the top or the anti-torque ring and the underside edge of the trailer
coupling. Once this adjustment is correct and this may take a few finer adjustments
My pleasure
The collars are welded to the tow ball arm so unless the entire arm is missing it should be there.
Yes fine to use in the rain as with all electrical equipment it would be prudent to cover the electrical
areas if the rain is heavy. Also note traction may be impaired due to the wet.
Splash proof only – no IP rating
Sorry not currently.
Hello, Thanks for the inquiry. The Mighty Mover traction is controlled by the up and down adjustment
of the towed vehicle’s jockey wheel. In your instance where there is no Jockey wheel and just a stand this
unfortunately will not work and isn’t fit for purpose. If you replaced the stand with an appropriate jockey
wheel, then the only consideration is “will the jockey wheel move over the grassed area” Please call to
discuss 021 703 476
We are situated in Stokes Valley, Lower Hutt
Yes, Please call Carl at Saunders Automotive, he may be able to accommodate you although he is quite
some distance away from you and he’s very busy, so any arrangement is as it at his discretion. 3 Ashfield
rd Glenfield Auckland 09-4437584 027-2851423
Certainly are please call 021 703476
Hi Any Marshall/Exide battery store should be able to help. From memory we used either a #5 or #6
battery in those models, any 12v battery will be fine so long as the physical dimensions allow the battery to
fit the battery box. Sorry we don’t have any pictures. The charging port is important to ensure the polarity
is connected to the battery correctly as otherwise the charger protection fuse will blow. (Use a multi meter
to determine the polarity) Regards Vic
Yes the MM has been used to move small planes and gliders, no agent in CHCH sorry
Sorry not at this time
Hi the shipping weight is 95kgs 0.815 m3
Yes the mighty mover will work on a Jayco, however there are many parameters to towing if you give
me a call we would be happy to discuss this with you 4:06 pm,
Sorry not designed for this type of application
We have under development a fully marinised system that will operate while fully submerged, this will
comfortably move up a 15 degree incline, the system is permanently fitted to the boat trailer and operated
by wireless remote. Watch this space.
We can fit tires with a more aggressive tread pattern if required, the MM is primarily designed to
operate over reasonably flat sealed ground. Traction at the MM drive tires is achieved in part by the down-
ward weight at the draw bar/coupling of the towed vehicle. In your situation where a jet ski/trailer is quite
light this can sometimes work against a successful tow and create MM wheel/tire spin. Please call to
discuss your needs in more detail 021703 476.
Sorry we haven’t actually measured this, we understand it’s a subjective assessment but approx.. 1/2
walking speed. Regards Vic
Please call 021 703476 Regards Vic
Battery – the battery will require charging (topping up) after each use, the mover comes with an
automatic charger, it good battery management to keep the battery properly charged. Regards Vic
Mover weighs approx. 100kgs so not really practical to move around with you even though the mover
will self drive up a ramp onto a suitable vehicle. Regards Vic
We have sold many into this area, unfortunately we don’t track the final addresses. Please feel free to
give us a call to discuss your towing requirements. You may qualify for our return supply service. Mobile

Happy to help, please call us to discuss how you would like to structure the lay by. Regards Vic
Hi I believe we have spoken on the phone recently, if this is a different person please feel free to re-
contact us. Regards Vic
No that’s the rating of the motor prior to the final drive ratios being applied. We have some customers
that move over 3000kgs on flat sealed ground. The traction, weight and terrain are all important
considerations when moving heavy vehicles.
Hi thanks for the enquiry. We manufacture the Mighty Movers in Wellington then freight them directly
to customers, we don’t have and outlets or retail premises in an attempt to keep the retail price reasonable.
Happy for you to come to the Wellington depot for a look, just give us a call. Cheers Vic
Hi Mike, Thanks for the enquiry. Please give me a ring, to speak personally is much better in
determining if the Mighty Mover is the best solution for your needs. Look forward to hearing from you.
Vic Alder 021 703476
The mover weighs approx.. 95kgs, we move them around using either our van or trailer, they self-drive
themselves up a ramp into either vehicle.
Please give us a call on 031 703 476 Regards Vic
Usually made to order 10:43 pm.
We will do our best to provide a video, we don’t have one currently it’s something we have always
intended to do but always seems to creep down the to do list.
Manufactured in Wellington – Thanks
The mover comes with a wireless remote that controls the mover motor which means an operator can
stand at the other end of the boat and nudge the boat closer to a wall or fence and be in full control of the
movement, however if turning is required at the same time during the movement a second person will he
needed to control the turn. Hope this helps Regards Vic
Yes possibly a feature for future models, were always attempting to maintain a reasonable retail price.
Unfortunately more features equal more costs.
Thanks for the comment, much appreciate.
