Maco Mule Ratchet Wheel van mover link

[Deleted]

My lovely neighbours kindly lent me their wonderful Maco Mule jockey wheel to help me with my 22ft Viscount and driveway.

In case you have never seen one it is a replacement jockey wheel with a long lever and a ratchet. By pumping the long lever one person can push and steer the van with precision and ease. It is all mechanical with no electrical connections and works really well.

From the information I could find the dual wheel version seems to be for dual axle vans (about $600!), and the single wheel version for single axle vans. I found this little powerpoint presentation which explains it all (as there doesn't seem to be any instructions on the web you can download):

If anybody is thinking of selling their dual wheel Maco Mule in Melbourne please let me know.

I have a single wheel version of that I use it to move my tandem axle car trailer and boat about. As for the caravan it would be fine backwards and forwards but try an turn a tandem axle caravan, unless you can get the weight of one axle I think you would be pushing up hill.

If you check out AwardRVs in Burwood Hwy Ferntree Gully or Carac in Frankston-Dandenong Rd Dandenong I am sure you will find what you are looking for.

I will be putting our dual wheel maco on gumtree within the next day or two. Have downsized van so no longer needed.
