Dolly wheel mod

Recommended Posts

Made up a set of dolly wheels for front of CS100. They've been a great help. Obviously a lot easier to wheel about even though they dont steer. But the biggest plus point i wanted to share is how easy it is to push up 8ft skids. So much so i've decided not to bother fitting a winch. When having to balance on the rear wheels i found it impossible, and always working alone it was a right pain. . Speeded things up no end. Well worth knocking some up. 

 

Wheels were £12.50 from ebay. Foam filled. Steel, had anyway. Total time was a couple of hours.

 

No more setting and hauling with pulleys. Pretty sure 6ft skid wouldn't be much harder. 

Not sure why pic is on the side.

Thats a great idea. 

I had a sack truck with normal wheels and they used to only last  a year. Replaced with these so got two exta as been meaning to make the dolly for a while. Also got foam filled on my arb trolley but they were £30ea with bearings

The foam tyres are good but the bearings are rubbish, they don't last long on a sack truck with heavy use. You can get replacement bearings for a couple quid but they don't last any longer.

 

 

The good wheels are the magliner ones, but you need deep pockets.
