Self loading wheel dollies make moving a vehicle far easier, especially in shops, storage facilities, or on recovery jobs. A wheel dolly or self-loading wheel dolly lets you slide under a wheel, lift the wheel using a foot lever, and reposition the vehicle with minimal effort. When you need to move vehicles with locked or turned wheels, or in tight spaces, auto positioning dollies become critical. Brands like GoJak, WreckRoller, and REDiJack lead the way with durable designs built to handle towing, collision repair, and storage applications.
Here are some of the trusted names and models in this category:

What exactly is a self-loading wheel dolly and how does it differ from regular wheel dollies?
A self-loading wheel dolly is designed so you can slide it under a wheel and lift the wheel using a foot lever, allowing the wheel to be suspended and the vehicle moved freely. Regular wheel dollies may require more manual lifting or external jacks.
Can these dollies handle vehicles with locked wheels or turned tires?
Yes. Many GoJak, WreckRoller, and REDiJack models are built specifically to accommodate tires that won’t roll, allowing you to slide in the dollies and then leverage to lift and move without stressing locked components.
Are there left-handed or right-handed versions of self loading wheel dollies, and does it matter?
Yes. Depending on your workspace or the orientation of the vehicle, you may prefer a dolly with the foot lever on one side or the other. Using the correct side avoids awkward leverage and potential safety hazards.
What size roller / tire width compatibility should I look for?
Choose a dolly that fits the widest tires you plan to use. If you work with SUVs or trucks, check for models that support larger diameter and wider tread tires. Higher capacity wheels and strong frames help maintain stability.
