Skid Steer Trailer Mover

A trailer mover turns your skid steer into a tight-space hauling tool, letting you reposition trailers around a yard or jobsite without hooking up a truck. That matters most where trucks struggle: packed equipment yards, narrow lots, or job sites juggling multiple trailers throughout the day. Instead of backing a truck and trailer into a cramped spot, a trailer mover connects directly to the trailer's coupler or kingpin and lets your skid steer's tighter turning radius do the work. It's a practical add-on for rental yards, dealerships, and any operation moving trailers more than occasionally.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a skid steer trailer mover used for?

A trailer mover lets you reposition trailers in a yard, lot, or jobsite without hooking up a truck, which is faster and offers tighter maneuverability in tight spaces. It's
especially useful for equipment rental yards, dealerships, and job sites juggling multiple trailers.

What's the difference between a trailer spotter and a trailer mover?

The terms are often used interchangeably in this category; both connect to a trailer's coupler or kingpin and let your skid steer reposition it.

Can a trailer mover be used on a tractor as well as a skid steer?

Some trailer mover models are built to work on both skid steers and tractors, so it's worth confirming compatibility if you want one attachment that works across
equipment you already own.

What's a hitch receiver attachment used for?

A hitch receiver attachment mounts to your skid steer's quick-attach plate and gives you a standard trailer hitch receiver, so you can tow or reposition trailers directly
with your skid steer.

Do I need a specific skid steer for a trailer mover?

Most trailer movers mount to a standard skid steer quick-attach plate, so compatibility usually comes down to your machine's lift capacity relative to the trailer's
tongue weight. Contact us if you're unsure whether your skid steer can handle a specific trailer.
