Ignite Attachments Announces a Trailer Mover for Skid Steers and Track Loaders
A Simple Solution to a Common Jobsite Hassle
Moving trailers across tight jobsites just got easier. Ignite Attachments has released a new trailer mover designed specifically for skid steers and compact track loaders. This lightweight, off-center hitch mount attaches directly to the loader plate, giving operators a faster, safer way to move trailers without a truck. The tool eliminates the need for blind backing, extra personnel or truck repositioning. Operators can drive straight into the trailer tongue, hook up and move. This saves time, reduces equipment needs and improves visibility. From the press release:
“At Ignite Attachments, we’re all about making hard jobs easier,” said Darin Gronwold, product manager at Ignite Attachments. “We’re always looking for ways to rethink everyday tasks and find better solutions. The loader trailer mover is a great example of that — it offers a smarter, safer way to move trailers that saves time and eliminates a lot of the headaches operators deal with every day.”
Specs and Design Highlights
The Ignite trailer mover is compact, durable and engineered for tough jobsites. Key specs include:
- Weight: 26.5 lbs — light enough to carry by hand
- Material: High-strength Grade 50 steel
- Capacity: Rated for Class 2 hitch loads up to 3,500 lbs
- Mounting: Dual 2-in. receiver slots for flexible positioning
- Fit: Compatible with standard skid steer and CTL mounting plates
The off-center mounting design enhances sightlines, letting operators watch the trailer during tight turns or close-quarters movement.
Improved Safety and Precision
Traditional trailer handling often means using a truck and relying on spotters. It also risks trailer, vehicle or property damage. The Ignite mover changes that. By using a loader’s maneuverability and forward-facing visibility, it allows crews to move trailers more precisely — especially in cramped or obstacle-filled areas. Operators can also switch the mover between left or right side mount positions. This makes it easy to adjust for different trailers, site layouts or obstructions. From the press release:
“The loader trailer mover lets operators work faster and smarter,” said Gronwold. “It reduces downtime, simplifies the process and lets users make tight maneuvers without needing a spotter or a second machine. It’s all about helping customers get more done with less hassle.”
No More DIY Fork Hacks
Some crews have improvised trailer movers by modifying pallet forks or welding makeshift hitches. These solutions lack visibility, increase risk and often violate safety protocols. Ignite’s trailer mover offers a purpose-built alternative that’s safer, faster and ready out of the box. Weighing under 30 lbs and compact in size, the trailer mover stores easily in a work truck, toolbox or trailer. Operators can keep it on hand and ready to use with minimal space or effort.

This release marks another step in Ignite Attachments’ expansion beyond traditional implements. Known for its direct-to-consumer attachment lineup, the company recently entered the compact equipment parts and consumables market. In June 2025, Ignite announced a new product category: compact equipment parts and maintenance items. This includes:
