Moving a Cobra trailer?
Can anyone advise the best way to pull a trailer backwards out of its
parking space, using a vehicle? I suspect that the two handles on the back of the trailer, or rather the structure they're attached to, wouldn't be strong enough. There are two aluminium skids on the bottom of the trailer, right at the back. These have small holes in them, so are these designed to allow the trailer to be pulled? |

Pulling by the skids is better in my experience. High loads bend the handles. UH |

The holes in the skids are for tie down in high wind conditions. They easily deal with the load from pulling the trailer. |

Don't forget to release the parking brake :-)

Thanks everyone and apologies for the duplicate posting.
Next time, back it into the parking space? GOOD JOKE |

A bridle attached to the handles can bend a handle if the wheels encounter an obstacle. (Brakes, jacks, chock, or just rough ground?)
The skids look like a better hard point, but a collection of friends is best. |
