I have this exact unit. I love it. It works great for my needs.

I have the Powercaster and love it. It’s the biggest one that make and it pulls/pushes my 28’ Topcat in and out of the garage with ease.

I forgot to mention that I did change the way the Powercaster attaches to my boat trailer. I didn't want the ugly post looking thing hanging off the bottom of the tongue of my nice boat trailer. I would have had to either weld it on or drill three holes into the tongue area and bolt it in place. Neither of those options sounded good to me.

I contacted Parkit and bought their ball mount and bought a piece of thin wall aluminum tubing and used it for a bearing surface/shim for my Powercaster. Someone on this Forum did send me a surge brake lockout device, which I am still grateful for.

I can take pictures if anyone wants to see what I did.

On my flatbed trailer that I use to haul my SxS I just used the Powercaster mount. That trailer isn’t particularly nice to look at anyways.

Please post a pic of your setup. I welded a versatile version of the PC mount so to mount it to various sized trailers but what a pain, I envy the parkit setup but just haven't put any time towards it

Pictures please

Ok here’s the pictures, they should be self explanatory.

The bottom post part from the Parkit ball mount is too small to fit snugly into the Powetcaster post part, so I found some aluminum tubing at Industrial Metal Supply in Burbank and made the aluminum bushing. In one of the pictures you can see the relief cut I made with a hacksaw. The Parkit mount fits perfectly into the Powercaster now and it has an aluminum bushing instead of steel on steel. It’s still steel on steel in the bottom, but it turns so slowly that it won’t wear out. I put a little grease in the bottom of the Powercaster post mount.

I have plenty of the aluminum bushing material left over, if a few guys need some. You’ll only need about 3” of it.

I’ll be in Havasu for Desert Storm.

You have to buy the Parkit ball mount because it has a spot weld on the ball to stop it from turning when you tighten the collar up to the trailer reciever. It’s a nice piece of engineering and work from Parkit. I think it was $180ish

A different size ball will thread into their ball mount if needed. It also needs the spot weld to stop it from turning in the trailer receiver.

I didn't attach a link. But I have seen his movers posted here over the years. They are a similar deal to a power caster. I tagged him. So hopefully he can chime in and answer any questions and ad a link of where to buy.

Yep, sorry screwed up the site address. Try this. www.thetrailermover.com. Yes, @CoolCruzin builds them, shop is in Upland.

 

[Waterjunky]

if your in suburbia, they are the ticket. If you have a little more room, an old forklift is the reigning and undisputed champion. A forklift sounds odd but you will be shocked how much you use it. I use mine all the time..

Yes. @CoolCruzin makes one for this.

His are really nice. I bought a 3 wheel corded one from SJP like 5 years ago and have used it one or two times. Works great.

They have brutal power. Traction controlled by tire pressure.
Love mine.
