Hydraulic wheel dollies.

Anyone ever use these?

 

They seem like a good idea but I'm wondering how they stand up over time. Seems to me that the open side would want to spread all the time, leading to failure.

I didn't know crappy tire even sold them. I will take a look.

 

That's a 10" tire so they're probably fitting on the 9" ones. I have the same size tire on 20"s.

LOL, thanks for your reply.

 

I was hoping to hear from someone who has used this particular type and knows what they're like.

I have used a couple of different sized units. They weren't intended to be used as vehicle dollies though. I used them to remove dual wheels as a set to get at the bearings and seal on a large truck. Also to remove loaded tractor tire/wheel assemblies. Who's selling these, and what are they indicating they are to be used for?

They are wheel dollies to be used in dealerships etc for moving cars around. There are all kinds of them on ebay and princess auto sells them too. Rated for 1500 lbs each.

I have a set and they are great
They are just the crappy tire motomaster ones

I had the cheap princess auto pan style ones and they were junk, wouldn't roll worth a crap and having to jack the car up to put them under the tire sucked

I've had no problem rolling a 5000 lb 62 Lincoln convertible around the shop on the hydraulic go-jacks by myself

 That's what I need to hear! Thanks.

I heard from one guy that the seals don't last more than one or 2 seasons.But I think they need to be stored properly on a stand.

They're about $5 to $7 hundred for a set w/stand It's seems some only take up to a 9" tire and some up to 12". Some have metal rollers and wheels and some plastic
