It uses planetary-geared motors and robust rubber tracks to create a compact yet powerful mover. The device is operated with a handheld remote control, allowing for smooth and precise movements in tight spaces or over challenging terrain.

2. What are the main advantages of using a Robot Trolley?
- Effortless trailer movement without manual strain.
- Compact, portable design requiring no permanent installation.
- Suitable for a variety of surfaces and inclines.
- Safe and precise operation with a remote control.

3. What types of trailers and vehicles are compatible with Robot Trolleys?
Robot Trolleys work with single-axle and tandem-axle trailers, caravans, boats, horse floats, and other towable vehicles within their specified weight limits. Models are available to suit different weight capacities.

4. What is the maximum weight capacity of each model?
- The RT1500 can handle trailers up to 1500kg.
- The RT2500 can handle trailers up to 2500kg.

5. Are there safety features on the Robot Trolley?
Yes, all Robot Trolley models are equipped with a range of safety features such as emergency stop functions, precision steering for tight control, and durable construction to handle varied terrains.

6. Does the Robot Trolley require a minium downward weight onto it to operate correctly?
Yes, the Robot Trolley requires a minimum downward weight (also known as vertical load) to operate effectively and ensures proper traction and stability during use. This is typically around 10-15% of the overall trailer weight
For example: A 1400kg trailer with a 140kg-210kg vertical force at the trailer coupling. The RT1500 / RT2500 / RT4500 models can handle a maximum vertical load of around 300kg.

7. How do I charge the Robot Trolley, and how long does it take?
The Robot Trolley comes with a rechargeable battery and a charger. Charging typically takes 5 to 8 hours, depending on the model and battery capacity.

8. How long does the battery last?
The battery provides approximately 30 minutes of operation per charge. This may vary depending on load and terrain.

9. What surfaces can the Robot Trolley operate on?
They are designed for use on solid surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, compacted gravel, grass, and more. Its heavy-duty rubber tracks ensure excellent traction and stability.

10. Do I need to install the Robot Trolley permanently on my trailer?
No, the Robot Trolley is portable and does not require permanent installation, tools, or electrical wiring. However, a bracket is usually fitted onto the trailer drawbar or A-frame which the Robot Tolley to easily lock into when it is moving the trailer.

11. What makes the RT4500 stand out from other models?
The RT4500 is the most powerful model in the Robot Trolley range, with a towing capacity of 4,500kg. It is equipped with dual-speed functionality for precision and faster maneuvers, making it perfect for heavy-duty applications. It is specifically designed for challenging terrains and can handle gradients of up to 10%, making it ideal for hilly areas or steep driveways. Despite its power, the RT4500 retains a compact design for easy storage and portability. The RT4500 can handle tandem-axle trailers, provided the load is within its maximum weight capacity.

12. What is the warranty period for the Robot Trolley?
The Robot Trolley comes with a 2-year warranty for the machine and a 6-month warranty for the battery.
