Gizmo to lower caravan for getting it into standard garage

Does anyone know of a gizmo where you can remove your caravan wheels and lower it onto the unit to lower it in order to fit it through a standard garage door?

Why not just deflate the tyres. You could probably drop the height by at least 75 mm. If you need more drop then you obviously need another plan.

I have checked that, it is not enough.

Only a days job to remove the door, chop out and replaster. Most doors should have an extra few inches on the roll. If it's a tip up , add on a tasteful weather board to the bottom to look like a rain deflector. Think laterally a bit. How about lowering the floor?
Good luck.

Get 2 old 10 inch wheels and have them modded to fit the caravan, that should give you enough space to get in, alternatively you can use 2 rims with conveyour belt lining.

Hope this helps
