Guest Lenny Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I've been offered a cracking deal on a van im after, but i would need to probably use a motor mover to get it onto the drive, being a twin axle. But as i cant afford the van and a fitted mover, i've been looking at the eurotech type ones, bigwheel type mover. Are they capable of moving a van at around 1500kgs up an average sloping driveway entrance (up a sloping kerb) and up the same gradient for about 15 feet??? Or am i asking too much for one of these? Need answers quick as possible please as im going to see the van tomorrow night (Wed). There is a variety of these motor movers about for sale at between 250-400 pounds, and advice on which one would suffice??? Thanks people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiraz Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I considerd Bigfoot and Mr. Shifta before deciding on the powrtouch, and I have a single axle van. and do not have difficult terrain you describe. and IMHO you only get what you pay for.

mosey Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Lenny can you tell me whether you sorted out a mover for your twin axle caravan - I would be interested to know how you went on as I am getting a new twin axle soon and want to have a mover fitted.

Thanks mosey 18562[/snapback] Haven't sorted the van yet, ordering it this week. But i only need to move it about 15 feet so i think paying close to a grand for a fitted mover a bit non cost effective personally. I reckon for what i need the Mr shifta 2 will suffice.

Sorted, pick it up in 2 weeks. And i've just bought a mr shifta 2, so when i use it to park my new van in 2 weeks or so i will report it's progress on here.
