Expert Answers about Moving Dollies


  • Does Higher Capacity Trailer Dolly Move Trailer More Easily
  • That's certainly a reasonable assumption, but the capacity of the trailer dolly won't actually be a factor in how easily it moves your trailer. What matters is the dolly itself and how it's configured. For example, I recommend the Rack'em Trailer Dolly # RA20, which has a 500 lb tongue weight capacity with 24" wheel spacing for easy maneuverability. This dolly will work with a coupler that accepts a 1-7/8" hitch ball; if you need a dolly with a 2" ball I have added a link below to our...

  • Can The Performance Tool Wheel Dolly Move A 2,500 Pound Car?
  • The Performance Tool Moving Dollies # PTW54013 are used for moving a car, riding mower, trailer and many other items. They will definitely get your 2,500 pound car moved around. I have actually had people order two sets of these to get all 4 wheels covered and then moved a small truck, on a flat surface of course. The steel trays and cast iron wheels are built for durability, so they are built to last.

  • Can 2014 Kia Forte Be Towed With A Tow Dolly
  • I did some research online and found that your 2014 Forte can be towed using a tow dolly like part # RM-2050-1. It cannot be flat towed with all four wheels on the ground. According to the owner's manual, you should place the vehicle in neutral and move the ignition key to the ACC position. Since the RM-2050-1 has electric brakes, you will need a brake controller to safely tow the vehicle. If you let me know the year make and model of your towing vehicle I can make some recommendations...

  • What Lighting Requirements Are Needed When Dolly towing a 2013 Acura TL?
  • I recommend first checking with the local laws where you will be towing your 2013 Acura TL. The tail lights on a Tow Dolly # DM9713045 are often the only lights which are required. If this is the case you will only need an Adapter # 337TC2074P to go from the 7-way on the motorhome to the 4-way flat on the trailer. If you require additional lighting I recommend adding the Magnetic LED Tow Light Kit # TLL21RK. This is a great option as you do not have to wire anything with your lights....

  • Tow Dolly for Front Wheel Drive Vehicle with Electric Power Steering
  • The tow dolly you choose won't need to have any special arrangement for your electric power steering on your 2019 Acura RDX. The vehicle's front wheels will be secured with wheel straps so they won't move as you travel and the Demco # DM9713045 is a great option. I did look up your owners manual at it states that your vehicle is not designed to be towed behind a motorhome so doing so will be at your own risk. Towing with front wheels off the ground is an acceptable way of towing your...

  • Can Trailer Valet TVRVR3-BB225 Trailer Dolly Pull Boat Up Boat Ramp and 200 Yards to Parking Spot
  • On solid pavement, the Trailer Valet can handle a slope up to 5 degrees, but when going up a grade, the # TVRVR3-BB225 can only be used to push a trailer, not pull it so it wouldn't be suitable for pulling a boat out of the water up a boat ramp. When the battery is fully charged, it has a run time up to about 30 minutes. Pulling the trailer 200 yards would take about 25 or so minutes given the 23 feet per minute max speed of the unit so using it for that purpose would nearly exhaust the...

  • Is The Trailer Valet TVRVR9 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly A Good Product For Moving A Trailer?
  • Though I am not in contact with this customer and am not 100% about what the exact issue was, the only plastic socket he may be referring to is the plastic wheels. The cause of these breaking will not be due to the weight, but rather by having something stuck in there and still being used. I know this will sounds a little obvious, but the manual states, for maintenance, it is recommend that the user clean their units and check the treads before and after every use to avoid any damages....

  • Is the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly Stable Enough to Make Turns
  • The Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly # TVXL2 actually has dual wheels. If you hover your mouse over the pictures they will zoom in and you can see the 2 tires a little better. This design makes it much more stable.

  • Can Steering Wheel of Vehicle Be Secured With Seat Belt to Dolly Tow
  • I'm not sure that a seat belt could be made snug enough to prevent the wheel from moving. I spoke with the folks at Roadmaster, who recommend using a ratchet strap like # IMF13757 looped around the seat bottom and the steering wheel, at the bottom or 6:00 position of the steering wheel.

  • How Much Does the Snap-Loc Panel Cart/Pushcart Weigh
  • The Snap-Loc Panel Cart/Pushcart with E-Track Anchor Points part # SL1500PCR319-P that you referenced weighs around 25 lbs without the handles. For tie downs, you can use the Snap-Loc E-Track Tie-Down Strap w/ Ratchet and Soft Tie-Loop part # SLLS28RER or to join multiple together you can use the Connecting Strap for Snap-Loc Moving Dolly part # SLLS2E6R.

  • Transmission On 2013 Ford Escape Is Overheating When Being Flat-Towed
  • I checked out the owner's manual for a 2013 Ford Escape and looked at the section about flat-towing, (recreational towing) in the manual. Per the manual it states that it is not to be flat-towed or it would run the risk of damaging the transmission. This applies to both the 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive Escapes. Installing a transmission cooler like part # D13502 would only help cool the transmission fluid when the engine is running and the fluid is moving through the system. If...
