I think that they are the Purple line movers, and are chain driven rather than geared. Im sure someone who has used one will be along later to comment, we have a Reich geared type mover and its now on its second caravan and still works fine in its 6th year. It cost us around £800 fitted from Robinsons caravans near Chesterfield, we are very pleased with it.
There is a big debate of manual engage versus motor engage, the motor isquicker and easier to use, BUT, if the motor gives up whilst in the Engaged position, it can be a struggle to retract the rollers from the tyre to be able to move the caravan manually and be able to hitch up and tow it.
The type of surface on rollers also varies and can be anything from a grit type of surface which will need replacing as part of the servicing schedual as a wareable part, or the grooved metal rollers as fitted to our Reich. If you plan to keep your caravan for a fair few years, its probably worth going for a mover with a better spec than the chain driven grit roller entry level type, but if you plan to sell it on and upgrade every couple of years, then the entry level spec movers would probably be fine.
