Despite what their name suggests, you can move static caravans, but it can be a bit tricky. Luckily, electric tow tugs make the process a lot easier. Static caravans usually spend a lot of their time in one place. Still, owners often grow tired of the surroundings and wish to move their caravan to a different spot. This post will discuss what you need to consider when moving your static caravan and how electric tow tugs can enhance the experience.
Why Move a Static Caravan?
If a better pitch becomes available at the holiday park, static caravan owners wish to move spots. This could mean having to move their caravan just a matter of yards away! In some situations, the caravan may need to move to a new park altogether. In this situation, the caravan will need to be towed onto a suitable vehicle, then driven to the new site. Also, if owners aren’t planning on using their caravan for a while, they may choose to put it into storage.
How Are Static Caravans Moved?
Moving static caravans is quite a big job, due to their size and weight. The process does need to be overseen by professionals; specialists have the skills and training to load and secure caravans for transport safely.
First, the caravan needs to be towed. This is where electric tow tugs come in handy; they can move up to 20,000kg, that’s twenty tonnes! The average static caravan weighs between five and eight tonnes. Tow tugs are capable of moving caravans to a new spot on site. Moving to a different part of the holiday park sometimes means just moving a very short distance. However, professional equipment is still required to do so due to their weight. Luckily, tow tugs can do this quickly and safely. They turn this process into a relatively simple job!
Where a static caravan is being moved to a different site, tow tugs can be used to move the caravan through the site and the vehicle for transport. After this, the transport company will then safely load and secure the caravan.
How Much Does It Cost to Move a Static Caravan?
It’s hard to put a precise figure on the cost of moving a caravan because parks sometimes charge for things like disconnecting electricity and sewage. One cost that you can figure out is the cost of your tow tug to move your caravan between spots or to move it to the transport vehicle.
