Seem to be very popular with folk down under. I need to 'shove up a slight incline' for about 2 meters to get our caravan into its parking space. It is on Cobblelock and I figure one of these would be a gift, take the back strain out of it. Anyone any knowledge of them ?

Never heard of them, a quick google search seems to indicate they are only available in Australia. Have you considered a winch of some sort?
I had one on a trailer once for loading heavy engines maybe you could rig something up?

Google images hand winches

Care has to be taken with a question like that! winches are quite reasonable ............. but wenches on the other hand are quite high maintenance

A much better idea than taking one or other of our children and leaving it on the seat next to us.

They don't always want to go to the same places or see the same films as us, and occasionally there's a bit of an argument about it. Nothing worse than having a sullen child muttering darkly all the way through Duck Soup or Horse Feathers.

Mine has recently stopped doing that. Mind you, he is 47.

What a wonderful Forum.. From Ratchet Jockey Wheels to Duck soup to Horse Feathers to Rodent droppings and back to Jockey Wheels in a very short space. What did I start ! Anyway.. back to Ratchet Jockey Wheels. I have a Trailer Winch - off a Boat Trailer. Not exactly anywhere to anchor it in the front cobblelock garden unless I insert a trip hazard. Is there somewhere suitable on the rear of an Eriba to connect the Hook to if I did ? The Ratchet Jockey Wheel looked the job but I am not planning a trip down under soon, so possibly impossible to get one this side of the world. They look the job and seem popular where available. Odd that nobody this side of the world sells them. Seem AL-KO even make version but now available from their distributor here.

Interesting Colin, I might have a look at doing that. The distance really is so short but its on a slight incline and its back breaking. I kind of have to " reverse park" it into a spot that the car cant line up with. Its to one side of the drive in with a raised bed in front. I managed it fine with my son but its really difficult alone.

When I worked for a living I often had to deal with what is known as crane riggers who used nylon slings of various strengths and lengths one round the axle would do fine ................ remember you are dragging it on its wheels not lifting it so no need to go mad weight limit wise ......... it was also suggested that they were tested to 7 times their lifting limit so a one ton one should do fine

Not that expensive and no need to protect the axle.
