Hi all ,not sure if anyone can help...

I need to get hold of something that can help manoeuvre a race transporter4 around a small driveway. It is often loaded with spares so quite heavy to push around single handed.

I recently saw what I can only describe as an electric pallet loader that had been converted to have a tow bar attached and it looked excellent in the way it could push/turn a trailer in a small area. I have googled and phoned around but not had any luck in finding out whether they are a stock item or something someone made. If anyone knows what I am talking about could they tell me what they are called or if there is something else that could be used. Driveway is too tight to attach a car and manoeuvre into required space.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for input, it seems there are two extremes, hugely industrial that can move a plane or small motorised wheel movers for caravans - drive is on a big of a slope so smaller ones may not have the muscle and bigger ones cost more than the trailer!!! I'll gave to keep looking...thanks

Dallara - Yes it is a Brian James race transporter -Would you mind me asking where you got the pallet loader type tug? I would only ever be moving it when empty so hoping it may suffice?

Thanks for all the input guys, have been searching around and this is the closest I could find to what i am looking for. http://www.1-rv.co.uk/parkit360-motor-mover-66 , not cheap but seems to be able to deal with the weight. I will give them a call in the week to discuss....
Cheers
