Guy I am try to find some how to move my trailer into the garage my hand or some other method. I have a small garage and right now I am hand pushing it into the garage and its killing my back. I have a single axle trailer. A buddy is looking for the same thing for a duel axle trailer.
you mean like a trailer dolly?

There are a few out there that do actually work. You won't like the price, but sometimes with a bad back, it is the only solution.

Have you thought about using a riding lawnmower or ATV to move it?
I have seen an item before that was made out of diamond plate and had caster wheels on them that you back your duel axle wheels onto. Then you move your boat anywhere in the garage with ease. Has anyone seen this product? I tried to find it on the net today but had no luck.
GoJacks

I looked at the Gojacks yesterday at the store. Only thing is what to do with the tow jack wheel then.
I had a hard time getting my boat in my garage, it was a very tight 90 degree turn. I used to have a Ford 8n tractor I would pull it in and out with but I got rid of it.
My new solution of getting it in and out was building my own powered trailer mover. With all the materials (winch, gears, chain, bearings, axle, tires, wheel, metal, bolts) it cost me about 300 to construct it. Comparable ones I think were over 800.
If you're interested I can get some pics up and a materials list I put together when I built it.
I have Go Jacs, and use them every time I move the boat. Basically all they (or any trailer dolly) do is make a tandem axle move like a single or if you use them for every tire, move the trailer sideways. Why they do make it slightly easier to move, it will nothing for the issue ofmoving the boat with a bad back.
I've considered mountint a 2" receiver on the front of the truck. Gives you a lot more control for fitting in that tight door space. Depending on what truck model you have they do make some that are virtually invisible when not in use.
