Trailer tilting gizmo

Ayup chaps n chappetes
I've finally brought my trailer home to give it some tlc.
Now ideally I could do with it storing how its sat in the picture but picking it up isn't an easy task, I can manage now but when I age abit it will be an issue, im thinking of some form of pully system but unsure where to start, any suggestions?

Something like this but sideways mounted would do it

I’m getting a motorbike trailer and need to do the same in my garage at my parents

two cheap chain lifts over a bracket , short pulling chain loop , and fit two small fixed castors to the back bottom edge of the trailer ,, just pull the front up and the back will follow , no space , little effort and not dangerous money .
or use two roller skates and move them from trailer to trailer at the back ,, just another idea on the same theme

Get an engine hoist, lift it so far and chock it then put the boom under it and lift the rest of the way.

Convert the trailer into a tipping trailer that lifts to 90deg. Use a double acting ram.
You can then back the trailer up against the wall, raise the bed, put a couple of locking pins into some wall brackets and pump up the chassis.
Storage problem solved and a more useful trailer!

I'd make a simple gantry frame out of scaffolding and then use a block and tackle, hand winch or whatever to lift trailer onto it's side.

If the wall you plan to "lean" it against is strong enough fix a cheapo ebay 12 volt winch to it.

I've been waiting for ages for an excuse to buy one of the 450kg 240v winches that appear in the Magical Middle Aisle of Mystery in Lidl from time to time.

Then you come along and invent a reason.

Not fair!

They are never available when you find a use for one though!

I've got one under the scaffolding framed carport. It is on a swivel so it will face any direction and I then have a snatch block that clips onto the poles so I can lift anywhere
