Wheel Dolly recommendation

[rmchrgr]

Can you guys recommend a decent set of wheel dollies? I have two cars that don't run and would like to be able to move them around easily. I have a smooth concrete floor so no real rolling resistance. One car is pretty heavy, like 3,600+ lbs, (68 Coronet) the other is probably right around 3,000. (Duster)

Was looking at something like this. Little expensive but seems like a worthwhile piece of equipment to have and I know I will get use out of them. This set comes with a rack storage system which is nice.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Greg

I’m all for spending money in places where it needs to be spent, but the sets sold at Northern Tool or Harbor Freight will move the cars around just as well. The difference in cost would buy you another tool chest or a few tires for either of those.

I personally have the set from HFT and they work very well for me. I bought them when I had a nonrunning C3 Corvette in the shop I needed to move it in and out of the lift area. I’d buy another set if ever needed.

I watched a video comparing the HF and GoJack dollies. The casters are the difference I believe, the HF ones are super cheap. I'm sure they are fine for a one-time deal or a really light car but I'd rather have something a little more robust that I don't have to fight with every time I use it.

These are made in U.S.A. (at least they were). EZ Jack

We have the hf dollies at work that get used on occasion to move cars off manhole covers.. thankful I've never been on a job personally where they've been used - cause I'd be pissed off if someone did that to my car.

I have go-jax, but they are silly money if you don't need them.

To clarify, mine are the type that are fixed pans, not the type that use hydraulics to lift the wheels.

I’m sure I would have different results if I put my 1 ton Dodge on them, but for cars they’ve worked for me.

Good luck in your search.
