Wheel dollies

[Taz]

Gonna try a car on mine tomorrow, if no good they will be going back. Quite fancy the hydraulic ones, does anyone know the wheel type?

Mike

Did you try them

Not had a chance yet, they are here in the shop but I've only got round to putting one together, was waiting for your results..

Mike

I've rang sgs and somebody is going to call me back

Let me know what they say, possibly the hydraulic ones will be those to go for..

I've spoke with them today. In honesty they were as much use as a chocolate fire guard. They had no answer other than push it harder

On conclusion I can only think because my garage floor is not a perfect flat surface there needs to be a large inertia to get it moving. Whether a different type of wheel would be any better I've no idea

Urghhhhhh

It is the wheels - my barn does not have a perfect flat floor and I can simply push it out of it on the brick paving blocks outside without any issues.

I looked at the link you posted, which actual wheel have you used?

[Taz]

Look closely and you can see a blob of paint on the wheel. This will prevent it moving freely. I've not checked the others yet

If you search around the net SGS dont seem to get a great review on their products.

If it was paint, it'd just come off, prob casting residue painted over? I'll have a look at mine tomorrow when Im in.

Ye I did a search last night, people either love or hate them, they certainly have a fair few bad comments about customer service and I must agree their answers to me were 'iffy'

I asked if a different type of wheel would be any better and the reply was 'these should be fine'. I didn't think at the time but its the same as trying to push a car on steel rims rather than push a car on tyres, i'm sure a car with tyres would be much easier to push

[Ducklakeview]

I think it's a combination of the casting debris on the wheels and the fact that they don't contain bearings, just the (rough) inner edge running on the pins.. Something with a weight capacity of 450kg really needs bearings - Mine are going back..

cool, I will send them that link

Problem it causes is that when the pin gets to the lowest point inside the middle of the wheel, it will need pushing to physically lift the load out of this low point, it will them move one rotation, and the pin will drop back into the low spot, all this x 4...

Love the title! If you have any returns drama PM me, I am nothing short of militant when it comes to consumer rights!

Shame this, I was on the verge of clicking the buy button, I had them in mind to move my old Golf about in the garage.

I'm going to see about different wheels on Friday but then what started out as a cheap set of dollies will soon end up expensive
