Question about Automotive Dollies

[KZ]

I am thinking of putting my '70 Chally up on 4 dollies (under each wheel)  to make it easier to move around in the garage. As you well know, the E-bodied cars are not exactly light in weight. Does anyone have any experience with these types of dollies?  Do they work as advertised? Are the dollies sturdy enough? Can you recommend a brand? Or suggestions?

Thanks

I don't know about brands nor have I owned any, but would like a set myself. I can tell you that a friend of mine had his big "B" body Mopar on them and they were awesome. He had a small 2 car garage with the usual additional crap such as bicycles, lawn mower ect. Making the garage very cramped and impossible to do any real work. With the wheel dollies, you could push the car over against the wall with two fingers. I'm not kidding, it was that easy and by doing so provided enough room to work on the other Mopar. If you have a small garage where space is at a premium, I think they are awesome and well worth the money. I believe you can get a nice set from Summit racing or Jeg's. Maybe someone else can recommend a good brand!

You get what you pay for.  Don't cheap out.  Even the cheapest ones will work but they won't move around very good.  Get ones with higher quality wheels.

even with the best quality and a super flat floor ,you will need some extra muscle to push one around... unless you look like hulk hogan that is...

They are great, but be very careful! If you build up too much momentum, you can easily crash into another car, a support beam, or whatever else is in the way. If they all have rotating casters, it can get out of hand very quickly. Be VERY careful!

I bought some off of eBay several years ago and they've worked just fine for me.  Just be cautious about where you push on the car, you can easily dent a panel if you're not careful.  Also, I would suggest that you don't leave your car elevated for extended periods.  It's not good on the tires and it tends to cause the dolly rollers, that make contact with the tires, to get out of round.

I got a couple of bb dana 60 ebodies in my shop. They are longtime members cars.  I think you mean just pushing your car 10 or 20 feet or spinning them is all. The harbor freight ones under 60 bucks a pair work for me and I am no where close to being a hulk hogan type. My shop does have smooth concrete, so when I give it a push, it does respond easy enough.  Just useing 2 on the rear will be helpfull for you

I got some of the heavier duty HF ones....  work out fine.

I have 2 I purchased from Canadian tire and 2 I purchased from Princess Auto. The Princess Auto ones are better as they have wheel locks. The 'Cuda is up on them right now - it is very easy to move around this way and rests against the wall right now so I can move the bike in and out easier between the Ram and 'Cuda.

A whole lot easier than dragging it around on the floor jack

I own two styles.  The ones that jack up and the ones that have a groove in the middle .

Buy the ones with the jack and rollers. They are well worth the money.
My garage will not be without a set.
