Dollies & Movers

Whether you need to move bulky equipment and car parts around your garage or tow a car, dollies and movers will help you cope with the task effectively. Requiring minimum user’s train, dollies and movers mounted on wheels or casters will let you transport heavy objects of different sizes as well as tow vehicles to your holiday destination or to the closest automotive repair shop. Depending on your needs, you can choose from a variety of dollies and movers.

Typically, there are caster style and tow style dollies. Caster style dollies feature rugged steel construction mounted on large nylon/rubber casters and placed under each tire. Caster style dollies are available in many sizes to be effectively used with different vehicles. Average weight capacity of a caster dolly equals 1500 lbs, while heavy-duty ball-bearing models can comfortably hold up to 6000 lbs. Ball-bearing swivel casters allow you to move your automobile forward, backward, or sideways. Strong ball-bearing swivels can hold the weight of a vehicle as well as the pressure placed on them while moving it.

Tow style car dollies will be indispensable for towing purposes. A typical towing dolly resembles a rolling cart and thus provides easy mobility. It has two wheels attached to a platform and ramps. They are designed to elevate the front wheels of the towed vehicle. First, the automobile is driven up the ramps and secured in place, then the construction is attached to another vehicle that will tow it. This dolly type can be used for towing automobiles, trucks, snowmobiles, garden tractors. Though popular once, tow style dollies are now widely replaced with caster style dollies that provide smoother towing action.

Using a roller vehicle mover is yet another way to move a broken car around a repair shop. Positioned under each wheel and lifted with the help of a hydraulic mechanism, this basic roller mounted on four casters will let you easily navigate the disabled car where you need with very little effort and physical strain. Each vehicle mover can hold up to 1500 lbs. As for other specialized movers, wheel dollies are utilized for easy installation, removal, and transportation of tires and wheels. Hydraulically activated lift arms with ball bearings allow you to easily rotate the rims for bolt pattern alignment.
