Are you an Owner or Operator of a Caravan Park? Do you offer movement/delivery services to Caravan Parks? |
Holiday caravans and Mobile Homes can often present problems when re-locating them around a site. The fact that the wheels are very small can mean that they will sink in soft surfaces, such as sand or mud. We know that most operators use boards as a precaution against getting stuck, but we also know that the wheels often slip off those boards. And the caravan is then stuck. It can take many man-hours to recover the van. A number of operators have found that our ELH04 air jack is just the right tool to lift a caravan to get boards back under the wheels. It is done with little effort, with fewer people, in greater safety and much faster. The time saved is equal to a lot of money saved. Because the Air Jack is inflated by means of the exhaust gas from a vehicle, you do not need to carry a compressor around for it (we can supply the necessary items to allow you to use compressed air, if you prefer, though). |

Here is a series of photos showing how the EASYLIFT Air Jack can be used to recover a bogged down Holiday Caravan.

| Left wheel sunk in soft earth. The chassis is too close to the ground to allow a trolley jack to be positioned underneath. | Air Jack, used with steel and timber spreaders, lifts caravan. |

| Wheel is lifted clear of ground. | Support mats are placed under wheel and jack is deflated. |

The recovered caravan can now be towed away to be positioned. Note that no support boards were used beneath the lifting bag. A trolley jack would sink in the soft earth without boards, and would be difficult to manoeuvre. These photos were taken at Hopton Holiday Village, near Great Yarmouth, England. The Holiday Village is one of many owned and operated by the Bourne Leisure Group.
