Simple Shop-Built Trailer Mover
![]() |
“When working on trailers in the shop, we needed a way to move them around by hand because usually there’s no pickup available. A couple years ago, we acquired an old push lawn mower from a cleanup project. It didn’t run so we decided to take the motor off and bolt an old flat screen TV hanger bucket on top of the deck. Then we bolted a pipe onto the hanger. First we welded one end of the pipe to a piece of channel iron, and then we bolted the channel iron to the hangar. The top of the pipe is open and simply fits inside the trailer’s coupler like a ball would.
“It was a simple solution to the problem. Our only cost was for a few bolts. The mower has big 6-in. solid plastic tires, which makes it easy to move trailers.”
