Wheel Dollies

[pAAt Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close pAAt]

Wheel Dollies and tons of different types on Ebay. What brand have you folks had good success with ? I'm breaking down and will let a friend help me with my AA this winter. I want to make it easy to move on his shop floor and be as inconvenient for him as possible. Thanks, Pat

If I was going to buy movable dollies I would go full blown and get these.

Maybe for Christmas, but I doubt it Wiz ! They sure are nice though !!

Hey Pat, when I saw those I said to myself, "gota have me a set of dem", they are sweet.

[pAAt]

Made in America too and pretty close to where I'm at, but couldn't afford the shipping !! Jay's the man for selling stuff too !

Hey Wiz remember that favor I told you I might ask for?

Well like most things you get what ya pay for. I have a set of these cheapos which suck. They can easily kick out from under the tire when rolling the car. Not only do they not roll great, i had one kick out and shoot into my ankle. I thought it was over at that point, but to my surprise i limped away. If you do go with the HF style dollies run a strap around them and over the tire for safety. Go jacks are probably one of the better ones out there..

I looked at those Mitch, but there $1300.00 for a set of 4. They are very nice and would be show pieces for sure ! I would have better luck getting those for Christmas, than Wiz's choice.

I know you'll end up with the others just be careful. They will roll a car but are very unstable the way the tire sits on them. There are other cheaper models with more of a gully for the tire.
do a search

I bought a set from HF and could not be any happier with the quality and the ease to use and move the car around.

You are also able to use one 20% coupon on all four.

That is what I have also. Hugh

Even something like this would be more stable..

Those would be all I really need and no crying at all. Mitch, what happened that one kicked out on you ? So I can try to avoid doing that also.

[Mitch]

They are to shallow which makes them unstable

[pAAt Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close pAAt]

old31 now those I could cry for, for Christmas ! Better start weeping today $89 each with a 20% coupon and my wife loves coupons, me not so much !!

[Mitch]

Those look decent to me and a good alternative. gettem

Poly wheels are good to boot

[Dennis]

I picked up a bearing separator last night and got a flyer paper, those 1250 lb dollies will be on sale Jan 12,13, 14 for $67.99 Don't think a coupon will be good at that time.

[copgib]

I got mine on sale at our HF for $67.99, I bought 4. Hugh

Mitch I have some like yours but i fixed mine so that will not happen.

Bought the $200 set from Speedway and was very disappointed. Returned them for full credit plus freight and bought the $109.99 set of four (part #91081101). Difference is that the cheap ones have steel wheels that don't deflect going over seams.

Those sure are nice!

I got a decent set at Northern Tool, they have a bar across the sides the way Mitch mentioned, and have worked well. Do not recall the cost

I think that is my best answer yet Brent. I'll send you pics of mine, when I built( farm build) !!!!, but .........no response necessary. ;) Why are you not a little wider and are the caster wheels 4"? Thanks always ! You've been here, or there, for as long as I can remember. pAAt

Brent
Super nice dollies, shop, shop floor, and cars. I like the smart 3 sided design

Thanks for sharing the ideas, i might make a set up like this in my spare time.

Who is into the Geo Trackers? And why?

[pAAt Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close pAAt]

He's a commie Mitch !, But they had great ideas

[Tom Wesenberg Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Tom Wesenberg]

If I had any like the orange one Mitch posted, I'd run angle iron across each pair of studs, with the vertical side facing in, and the vertical ends cut at 45* so you don't cut yourself or the tire. That would add a lot of strength and act as tire guides to keep it snug in the valley, instead of possibly turning to the side.

[BNCHIEF]

Tom I did that to mine, I also bought some of that vinyl type decking board and attached it to the metal so nothing would be metal to metal to metal. You could also drill some holes and make them adjustable to tire width for a more secure grip.

Mitch you should get one and join Brent for some fun.:rolling

[BNCHIEF Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close BNCHIEF]

Brent that is a fantastic set-up you came up with and thanks for the link on the casters.

I just got my first Model A and was in need of some wheel dollies. After a lot of searching and reading many reviews, I ended up with the ones I'm linking, made by Red Hound auto. So far, so good! No problems at all and I'd recommend them. I also got a basic jack and wheel chocks from my local AutoZone. I now have it down to a routine of jacking the front axle and then the differential, using the chocks during the first step. I have the Tudor on dollies because it's still winter and I don't want to have to deal with cleaning snow from ANY of my cars this time of year if I don't have to!

I think one of the most important things is to not rush and just lower the car < < < s l o w l y > > >. Safety first!

[aford193031]

By all means be safe, don't rush
