How Parkit360 Electric Trailer Dollies Work: The Ultimate Guide

Many trailer owners know the stress of trying to back into a garage or storage space with only a couple of inches of clearance on either side. It’s nerve-wracking, it’s challenging, and it can lead to some very tense moments.

Parkit360 electric trailer dollies were designed to eliminate those challenges. They’re the professional-grade alternative to manual maneuvering and to risky tow-vehicle situations. These tools don’t just help you park your trailer; they turn a two-person, high-stress job into a solo, effortless task.

What is a Parkit360 Electric Trailer Dolly?

Parkit360 electric trailer dollies are compact, battery-powered motorized movers designed to simplify any trailer parking situation. Whether you have an RV, a boat trailer, or a cargo trailer, a Parkit360 electric trailer dolly offers precision parking at your fingertips.

The Core Mechanics: How It Works

What makes these compact Parkit360 trailer dollies so heavy-duty and effective? The perfect combination of power and traction!

High-Torque Electric Motors

Unlike other manual or crank-powered dollies, Parkit360 electric dollies will do most of the work for you. Every model features planetary gear reduction motors to provide massive "pulling" power without the bulk.

Traction and Tires

The Force 5K and 10K and Transformer 15K models feature 6.5” wide drive tires for optimal traction on multiple terrain types, including asphalt, packed gravel, and firm dirt and grass. The Carrier 13K uses semi-pneumatic tires in a staggered arrangement for the best grip on uneven surfaces.

The Power Source

All Parkit360 electric trailer dollies are powered by rechargeable, onboard Interstate batteries for a convenient and reliable power source. The Force models have added versatility with the option of tethering directly to your trailer batteries.

Connection & Control: The User Experience

Power is only part of the equation. When talking about Parkit360’s electric trailer dolly lineup, we’d be remiss to skip over the connection and operation process. Simplicity and security are key features of these dollies:

The Hitch Connection

Parkit360’s original Force and Transformer dolly models feature a proprietary ball mount connection that tightens to your trailer’s coupler for the most secure hookup possible. We call this our Stablelock technology.

The Carrier 13K holds the title of most straightforward connection, featuring a Drop & Go adapter for faster and smoother hookups.

Steering & Maneuverability

This is where Parkit360 gets its name. With 360 degrees of visibility and maneuverability, these trailer dollies can execute some of the tightest turns and most precise maneuvers around. By keeping the pivot point at the hitch, these dollies allow trailer owners to make moves that are physically impossible with a tow vehicle. Avoiding obstacles has never been so easy!

Safety First

Parkit360’s trailer dollies also boast the most high-end safety features on the market. These include:

• Automatic braking: the trailer dolly will come to a stop when the controls are released, and the motor’s internal gearing will prevent the dolly from moving when pushed.
• Smart Brake Controller: using the 7-pin plug, connect your trailer’s electric or surge brakes to the dolly. Electric brakes will automatically activate when the dolly stops, and surge brakes will lock out when moving in reverse.
• Variable-speed control: choose between high and low speed modes for faster or more precise parking.
