Would I be able to use this to lower a boat trailer tongue and push it into my garage? The boats windshield is 5" too tall and weighs 2802 pounds

This particular Dolly will not work for this situation as it doesn't drop the ball height near low enough to accommodate a 5" reduction between the wheels and the hitch.... How close to the ground does the hitch have to be to accomplish your 5" requirement??? Rest the hitch on a furniture dolly with plywood, etc....

You could but it will not be very secure. I advise to use bolts and lock washers if it is going on a 5th wheel. If it is going on a travel trailer, you can give the tap a try. Pete

No problem at all as the hardware is attached to the frame rails and hangs below the frame rails. My trailer weighs about 6,000 loaded and I compress the bushing to 2.6 inches and that is perfect for my set-up. Once you get yours dialed in you will love it. Very easy to hook up, no sway control to disconnect when backing in and it is silent as well. I bought a ratchet wrench to adjust the nuts and it works very well. Enjoy!!

Yes - in my opinion, this would work fine BUT you really need to secure your kayak well to the cart - I find the best success of toting my 11 footer is by securing the cart to the middle of the kayak rather than the opposite end you are pulling - good luck!!

I don't see why not, as long as you don't stuff if with lead weights :-). In fact, I'm glad to read this as I haven't installed mine yet for the same reason. Also, my trailer is very small and this thing would take up some very valuable cupboard space, so for now I'm keeping it in a closet and taking it out when I need it in the "kitchen". Withe the command hooks, I could also move it when necessary, so thanks for the idea!

It's not for highway use, but would work on a small yard trailer. Says Load Range 8 at 22PSI. Couldn't see a rating in lbs.

My guess is that it would work, but that there might be a strong tendency for it to tip sideways on any kind of uneven terrain. I'd recommend something with a wider wheelbase if you want to truck a 48 in boat over uneven terrain.

I doubt it would work for that weight. It moves very slow and mine seems to have a little "skip" when it turns. I think the added weight would either not work or make the motor louder.

I would think so. We bought it to pull our 28 foot camper that weighs ~5,000# dual axle. There also may be a # you can call directly.We actually you tubed this system before we bought it. So maybe try that too.Hope I was somewhat helpful.

No I do not think the product is strong enough for this application. I would buy something more heavy duty.

I personally wouldn't. The trailer is designed appropriately. I would step up to the next size trailer for heavier use.

That may work. I would find some way to anchor it. I wish I could be more help I use it for out door application.

It will work but you may have a problem lowering the Kayak if you draw it tight to the ceiling. The ropes must be pulled straight down to lower the boat which is a problem with the boat hanging under it.

The capacity for this caster swivel is 1200 lbs max. Unless you are on very smooth concrete, moving that much weight would be dangerous and probably damage the wheel anyway. I use this on a 10 cargo hauler, so the tongue weight is usually around 80 lbs and it is very easy to use and move around with just myself. It is a 2 inch od jack shaft this is made for.

Don't see why not. Normal precautions in mind. I hooked mine to two 20 lb. cyl. In a job trailer. Works fine

You only have about a 3" rise. Think about mounting on top of the trailer tongue so that the tire is horizontal instead of vertical.
