About the Mr Shifta3
Although the Mr Shifta3 is no longer manufactured and for sale to the public, this information remains to assist those who already own a machine or may have purchased one secondhand.
The Mr Shifta3 has been carefully designed to help all those caravanners who have difficulty in manoeuvring their caravan, who are not as young as they once were, or not as fit as they would like to be. Is that you?
Mr Shifta3 has the most powerful motor/gearbox combination fitted to any caravan mover today. It is built into a heavy gauge steel chassis and has twin drive wheels.
The machine carries its own semi-traction battery on board and is operated by simple twist grip controls. Our Mr Shifta3 is unique in being the first machine to locate in the caravan hitch just like your car
These are the features that make the Shifta the most popular mover with users, as proved in a survey by the Caravan Club. Over 95% of users said they would recommend the Mr Shifta to their friends. A figure far higher than any other mover.
The essence of a successful caravan mover is to apply sound engineering principles to the concept. We at Shifta Products saw that the hitch was the only point on the caravan designed by the manufacturers to push and pull the caravan under power.
Al-Ko Kober, who manufacture 90% of all caravan chassis in the UK recommend our method of fitting in the hitch and warn that damage caused to a chassis by the use of any other type of caravan mover will not be covered under their warranty.
The semi-traction battery is an industrial battery and therefore has a 12 month guarantee from the manufacturers as they assume it will be working many hours per week, however Mr Shiftas up to 12 years old are still using the original battery successfully. As with any guarantee, neglect and abuse are excluded, and consideration is given to fair wear.
If you have purchased a Mr Shifta 1, 2, or 3 second hand, you should be aware that each machine sold has been set up for a particular kind of hitch. It may be that, in order for you to set up and use the machine with your caravan, you will need to purchase a casting from us to fit your hitchhead. Fear not! Simply contact us and we'll do our best to help.
