Car Carrier Dollies

Why Choose Car Carrier Dollies

For towing professionals, having the right equipment is essential. A car carrier dolly for sale helps you safely load vehicles onto car carriers, flatbeds, rollbacks, or trailers — especially when the car’s wheels are locked or ground clearance is low. Having a dolly for loading car carriers means easier maneuvering, less risk of damage to the vehicle, and greater efficiency on the job. Automotive carrier dollies and flat bed dollies provide extra clearance while supporting a wide range of vehicles, from sedans to SUVs and light trucks.

Shopping Guide: Choosing the Right Car Carrier Dolly

1. Load Capacity and Vehicle Size
   Match the dolly’s capacity and wheel/axle limits to the vehicles you’ll be loading. Many dollies for loading flatbeds are built for passenger vehicles, but wide-track car carrier dollies may be necessary for larger wheelbase models.
2. Clearance & Ground Protection
   When a vehicle has locked wheels or sits low to the ground, a rollback dolly system or flat bed dolly can provide enough clearance to protect the undercarriage and body panels.
3. Securement and Strap Systems
   Look for dollies with tie-down straps, safety ratchets, or chassis grips to prevent shifting during transport. Wide dollies with integrated strap systems, such as the Collins wide dolly, are a strong option.
4. Maneuverability & Compatibility
   Ensure the dolly matches your carrier’s track width, ramp setup, and hitching system. Systems that allow for quick swapping of dollies or ramps improve efficiency when handling multiple vehicles in a single shift.
5. Durability & Maintenance
   Heavy-duty dollies built with welded steel frames, powder-coated finishes, and reinforced joints can withstand the demands of daily towing operations. Accessories like traveling chocks or safety tie-down dollies extend the lifespan of your setup.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Carrier Dollies

What is a car carrier dolly and how is it used?
A car carrier dolly is a wheeled platform or ramp system used by towing professionals to load vehicles onto carriers, flatbeds, rollbacks, or trailers. They are especially useful when direct pulling isn’t possible or the vehicle’s wheels are locked.

Why would I choose a wide dolly over a standard one?
A wide dolly offers better support for larger or wider vehicles and improves stability during loading. It also allows for more secure strap configurations.

Can car carrier dollies handle locked wheels?
Yes. Many car carrier dolly systems are designed to lift or support the vehicle in a way that accommodates locked wheels, reducing the risk of drivetrain or brake damage.

What should I look for in straps or securement hardware with a dolly?
Choose rated straps, ratchets, and hooks designed for professional towing. Safety tie-down systems provide extra peace of mind during transport.

How do I choose between a flat bed dolly and a traditional car carrier dolly?
Flat bed dollies are often better for low-clearance vehicles or special recovery situations, while traditional car carrier dollies are built for high-volume towing and regular carrier use. The right choice depends on your workflow and the types of vehicles you handle most.
