Dolly Assisted Car Towing
Dollys are strong, heavy frames designed to give strong support to cars and to secure them into palaces and elevating them above the ground. Self loading dollies have wheels that are attached. High speed self loading dollies come with bigger tires that are able to operate in a variety of conditions on the road. Dollys may have four or more wheels. any towing service that is offered by a dolly that is available requires a larger self loading wheeled dolly. If you plan to tow a car that does not have keys, you could require two self-loading sollys to lift the wheels of the drive off the ground. In certain situations, you may be required to tow your car using all four wheels elevated off the ground. This requires two self-loading dollies, each with its own tow dolly that can hold two of the wheels. The tow dollies will be joined by trailer hitches to the vehicle that is towing it. Read the manual for your car to find out if the car is front wheel drive or one with rear wheel drive and this will help determine the best dolly setup. Front wheel drive cars feature engines that transmit power through the wheels of front while the back wheels freely spin when towed. Towing requires lifting the two front wheels off the road in order to protect the transmission from damage and for the rear wheel driven vehicles the rear wheels need been lifted from of the ground. Four wheel drive vehicles have all four wheels raised off of the ground and secured when towing.
Loading Cars Without Keys Onto Dollys
The self-loading dolly is placed underneath the rear or front wheel of your vehicle or all four wheels for four wheel drives. If you’re using a tow dolly that is able to hold 2 wheels at the same time, you need to connect the tow dolly’s hitch your tow vehicle, and then put the hitch ball underneath the tongue of the tow dolly. There will be an incline that brings that tongue on the dolly. Simply turn it to join with the tow dolly’s tongue and hitch. Ball mounts aid in connecting tow dollies to vehicles that tow them. Tow dollies can pull larger vehicles, whereas tow straps cannot.
If you are planning to tow a four wheel drive vehicle that is not equipped with keys using an tow dolly, you’ll need self-loading dolly as well as the tow dolly. Place the self-loading dolly underneath the wheels that are disabled by parking brakes before transferring the other wheels onto on the dolly to tow. It is essential that your vehicle is properly secured to the tow dolly and driven carefully. Use straps for the wheel to attach vehicles to dolly. using the wheel straps of the tow dolly onto both of the front wheels, and on side of the tire and tightened with an Ratchet. We reiterate, DRIVE VERY SLOWLY. Do not tailgate other vehicles and stop your vehicle sooner than you normally would to keep the distance you need to keep.
