Cool ,for sure. Sort of impractical though as there will be very,very few times it would be needed. Hell,I'm pretty stupid but I'll not park where I can't pull out from and I can't see the extra weight being a good thing. I got better things to haul.

It sure looks like those little five bolt tires are very overloaded and there is no proof there is even a load in the trailer.
I was toying with a similair idea for the back of a semi trailer but was thinking of forklift tires and even the axles as they are made to move heavy ass weight. A 12 or 24 volt electric over hydraulic would do the rest.
I would also be very curious to see what failsafes it has to keep those tires UP while driving down the road at 70 mph...
Must be some kinda manual safty lever then you can use the remote I would think.
Also something to make the absent minded pay not try to drive off with them down in the first place.
Do love the idea though but good luck with the patents lol.

I've seen this before I thought here on dts and believe Ds posted it! LMAO
I'd just use dually to drag the pos car that blocked me in down the street. I actually moved a girls car onto a baseball field with a floor jack. Was funny as hell!!

We used to have a prick neighbor that would park in one our businesses entry drive at night and then wasn't anywhere to be found when we opened up in the morning,sometimes for a couple of days. After a few times of that I fork lifted it inside our gates and locked inside over a weekend.I refused to come down and get it out. Never had the problem again.

I personally can't imagine ever needing something like this personally but the need must be for some cause they built it lol just thought it was interesting

Actually I could camp with you guys if I had a rig like that so I could get 72' into Cowboy camp!

Jackson guy has a tractor and 48" trailer at Cowboy.
I think a set of those big rubber bumpers at loading docks mounted on back of trailer just push car out of way.

was at the camper dealership this weekend helping a friend. I haaaaaaad to look at a few while I was there and even knowing that they are all piles this one with a living room over the fifth hitch or upper deck Is one I really like and if they would make this in a toyhauler this would be nice. the couch's are beds as well cause there would be no bed with this set up but for a couple no big deal took it with my phone so not the best pic and yes that's a flat screen on top and fireplace on the bottom

His tractor has a shorter wheelbase

Just learn how to drive and park...

I have parked at the very back of a parking lot with lots of empty spots around and still have some idiot park right in front of me. I really would like to know what goes through these people's heads. Do they think they are spiting me for taking multiple spots? Do they want their car damaged and try to sue? I now just make sure that the tow vehicle is aimed that if someone does it, I can still pull out past the next spot. I try to pull up to an end spot not leaving enough room for someone to squeeze in.

While thinking about it, I was thinking of putting this on the back of my open trailer: If you can read this, you must trust my straps more than me.

it's funny you meantion this cause i seem to have the same issue a lot! never fails i'm pulling a trailer and they all and i mean all get behind me even on the 2 lane rds!! it is amazing well they do until i drop a gear ( since i drive a manual trans ) then sometimes you hear there tires squeal as they hit the brakes and i've gotten the finger a few times as they go by too LMAO LMAO but i like your idea so if you get some large bumper stickers made up let me know i think it would be something to try LMAO LMAO
and as far as what people are thinking parking in front of you in the waaaaaaay far back with 100 open spots and yet they choose the one in front of you, well they aren't thinking they are drones and dumber than shit itself and it is your civic duty as a man to leave them a not on there windshield letting them know dogs are smarter than they cause atleast a dog doesn't shit where it eats!! LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO

even better yet.....and this is a personal favorite of mine......when traveling innerstate pulling a load ( in my case usually the camper ) doing slightly over the speed limit in the left lane to get around 2 or three rigs doing 10 under the dumb M&*($#@R F$(^%ERS come flying up on the inside rt lane and cut you off leaving less than 1 car lenght between you and them!!!!!!!!!!! bs1 kick kick kick kick i am going to run one of them off the road some day cause they are going to kill people, i know they aren't thinking but how do they expect someone to shut it down with out turning there prius into an accordian and stuffing there head into the plastic air box in the front corner of the hood with 25k lbs on them let alone a rig!!!!!! kick kick kick
ok rant over continue lol
-
When I park my truck/trailer in a lot, I jackknife the tractor. That way the trailer takes up a bunch of spots and I can usually pull right out.
-
Mental note, stay out of Nebraska.
Or get some of the cheap jack from junk yard. Put under 1 drive wheel and lift just enough to spin. They'll think the trannys out. rofl rofl rofl rofl Dont leave handle.

I don't seem to have the problems you guys have with traffic. I learned a long time ago that just hanging back will get me there just as quickly as pushing it. A lot less stressful also.

Location, location, location.......... Traffic isn't something I worry about in Kansas either. Around here, it's a little hard to get away from.

We have used a large floor jack with bigger tires before to lift a cars drive tires and drag it out of the way more than once. Moved one to in front of a fire hydrant (It was close by) then called cops.
Been thinking about building a powered trailer dolly to move big trailers (from the hitch). Be easy enough to make it a car mover too the more I think of it.

Dude,have you driven in Tulsa ,OK traffic lately? There is none worse,Dallas,Ft.Worth,Kansas City,Denver,even outer LA is no worse.I agree,location,location,location is true IN traffic. Like I said,I just hang back and usually arrive just as quickly as the ahole playing Nascar racer down the highway.

My Dad hauled heavy equipment in 1940s. His cure for tailgaters was to accidently drop tires off into gravel shoulder. His co driver had cure for people that didn't want trucks to pass. He said if tracter was ahead, trailer would follow. Cars seem want to drive in ditch when he pulled over. eyes ;D
