The Tow-It-All Tow Dolly is the highest quality, heavy duty tow dolly built today. The axle and tongue are constructed of 3 inch by 3 inch by 1/4 inch wall box tubing! The two 4-foot braces from the tongue to the axle are made of 2 inch by 2 inch by 1/8 inch wall box tubing and the axle end plate is 1/2 inch thick by 5 inches wide, 1/8 inch thicker and 1 inch wider than other price competitive models on the market. It is constructed with a heavy duty angle iron 78" wide turntable to provide for easier towing around corners. Please compare these features with what our competitors have to offer! What is the value of the vehicle you are towing? Don't sacrifice quality with a cheap tow dolly to tow your expensive vehicle!
The wheel spindles are standard 1,750 pound spindles, but the base of the spindle is about 3/16 of an inch larger where it extends through the 1/2 inch plate, making a much stronger axle than the 3,500 pound standard. This dolly uses large 14 inch load range C 6-ply radial tires rated to carry 1,760 pounds each, not like the small 13 inch tires used on most of other models. Other special features on this dolly make it capable of carrying anything from a riding lawn mower to a crew cab and everything else in between. These units are excellent for use behind motor homes, for hauling race cars, and are great for used car dealers and rental companies minimizing the number of employees required. To help you show how simply our Tow Dolly operates, think of it like the coaster wagon you had as a child. You grab the handle on the coaster wagon, which makes you the towing vehicle in this example. The handle, the front wheels and the axle of the coaster wagon operate the same as the base and tongue of the tow dolly. The vehicle mounted on the turntable of the tow dolly, acts just like the bed and rear axle of the coaster wagon. Now visualize a child pulling his wagon around a corner. The tow dolly works on the same simple principle. There is no need for complex steering with tie rods and kingpins, like some competitive models contain. That drives up the cost as well as increasing maintenance, tire wear, and the chance of costly breakdowns on the road. SIMPLE IS BETTER!
DOLLY (TRAILER)
A dolly is a small trailer that can be coupled to a truck or trailer so as to support a semi-trailer. The dolly is equipped with a fifth wheel to which the semi-trailer is coupled. This dolly needs its own rear lights and a registration plate.
A tow dolly is little more than two wheels, an axle and a tow-hitch, used to tow a Front-wheel drive suspension car behind a recreational vehicle or other larger vehicle.
There are two basic types of dolly:
- Convertor dolly, equipped with between one and three axles and designed to connect to a towbar on the rear of the truck or trailer in front. There are two variants of this:
- An A-dolly has a single drawbar with a centred coupling.
- A C-dolly has two separate couplings side-by-side.
- Low loader dolly, equipped with a gooseneck type drawbar that attaches to the fifth-wheel coupling on the rear of a prime mover to distribute the mass on the fifth wheel on the dolly between the prime mover and the wheels of the dolly. These are predominantly fitted with two axles.
Australia
Convertor dollies are used in road trains in Australia, most commonly with two or three axles and a hinged drawbar. They are also frequently referred to as road train dollies.
The C-dolly design is not allowed in Australia, as it prevents articulation between the dolly wheels and the axles of the truck or trailer in front of the dolly. Australian rules require articulation between axle groups.
Low-loader dollies are used with many low loaders to allow heavy cargo to be carried without overloading the wheels of the prime mover or the low loader.
