Hi All,

I have a max gross 1700kg single axle and wish to fit a mover to the axle.

I've never had one before so could anyone recommend a unit and where to purchase one from, I could fit myself but would prefer it fitted by dealer/supplier.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks, paul

Just do a search on Movers and you will find that many threads on the subject you will be fed up of reading them.

I think the largest single axle version Powrtouch do is up to 1500 kg, so you are probably looking at the Enduro.

Hi all

Thanks all for your inputs, rang Powr products and....

Today I've been quoted £801.50  thats price matched with powrbar, delivery and fitted.

Have to pay £95 to match warranties though,  this is included in the £801.50

Can anyone better that for the powrtouch?

Thanks,  Paul

Hi everyone,

Just like to thank you all for your help in this subject and a thanks to Yorkie1 for him pointing me to other threads, this did help.

We finally decided on the Powrtouch for their warranty etc, had we have taken enduro's 5 year plan then this would have made the deal £20 dearer!

Thank you all again and have a good summer.

Paul

I would want confirmation that this is big enough for your 1700 kg van. Their website states the Model 3 (the top end single axle mover) is suitable for up to 1500 kg. The model 4 and 6 is for twin axle vans, model 1 for up to 1200 kg and no model 2 or 5 listed.

Hi Legs down,

Phoned and email them and they have confirmed :

The Powrtouch Heavy Duty will be more than suitable for the weight of your caravan, the literature simply states it can move a 1500kg up a 1 in 4 slope, that is not the maximum weight it can move.

I have no 1 in 4 slope to assend or desend it's move of manurability we're after.

Hope thats of help to you. I appreciate your concern.

Cheers,  Paul
