Depending on the age of the trailer, it may or may not have spring brakes. A look underneath should tell. If the brake chambers are doubled up, it would have spring brakes. If they are just single cans, they do not. If they do not, then the brakes would have released long ago as the air leaked out of the system. Those old brakes relied on a full charge of air to keep the parking brakes applied. If they are spring brakes, they may release when air is applied, but may not if the chambers fail when aired up.

Unless one or more of the brake chambers fails, it should not be a major problem to move it.
