Overview of Key Features
This Daytona wheel dolly highlights its self-loading design that grips and lifts wheels without needing a separate jack. The ratcheting foot pedal provides hands-free lifting up to 1300 pounds.
The open-side carriage accommodates common wheel widths for versatile utility. Heavy-duty all-steel construction provides durability. 360-degree casters allow precise steering control.
With fast jack-free loading and easy maneuverability, this wheel dolly increases productivity changing tires, brakes, and bearings on trucks, SUVs, and passenger cars.
Built-In Self-Loading Design
This Daytona positioning wheel dolly incorporates an innovative self-loading jack system that allows a single operator to lift and reposition heavy wheel and tire assemblies without needing a jack, jack stands, or helper.
The dolly features a ratcheting foot pedal connected to an integrated scissor jack. Pumping the wide pedal extends the jack pushing it against the floor, raising the lifting carriage up to 11 inches high.
The jack has a 1300 pound lift capacity for safely raising standard car, truck, and SUV wheel assemblies for swift undercarriage access. The hands-free pump pedal provides fast jack-free wheel maneuvering.
Open-Side Wheel Carriage
The Daytona self-loading wheel dolly is designed with an open-sided wheel carriage that accepts common tire widths for versatile utility. The oblong opening measures approximately 11 inches wide x 34 inches high.
This accommodates the majority of wheel diameters from small car 14 inch all the way up to large SUV and light truck 22 inch sizes. Tall tire sidewalls up to 12 inches fit within the ample height clearance.
An integrated ratcheting tie-down strap secures the lifted wheel tightly against the rubberized rollers to prevent slipping during dolly repositioning. Fits standard steel, alloy, and dual wheel types.
Handy Foot Pedal Lift
A main feature that separates this Daytona self-loading wheel dolly from standard models is the hands-free pump pedal that raises the lifting carriage through its full range.
The wide ribbed pedal provides excellent foot grip. Pushing down ratchets the pedal linkages extending the integrated jack scissors lifting the wheel dolly carriage up to 11 inches high. Pedal strokes required vary based on wheel weight.
Releasing pedal tension slowly lowers the carriage back to floor height under control. The handy pump pedal leaves hands free improving maneuverability getting wheels in and out of tight spaces.
Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
This Daytona self-loading wheel dolly features a sturdy all-steel construction that withstands frequent daily use by professional mechanics as well as extended weekend use by DIYers.
The welded steel body resists damage if knocked into equipment or automotive lifts during hectic service bays. Thick steel lift linkages provide years of reliable ratcheting capability. The rubberized wheel carriage firmly grips loaded assemblies.
Durable powder coat finish protects the dolly from minor scrapes, chips, scuffs, automotive fluids, and corrosive moisture keeping it looking new despite abuse. Sturdy materials provide long-term shop duty.
Smooth-Rolling Casters
This Daytona 1300 lb. capacity wheel dolly incorporates large smooth-rolling casters that allow precise one-hand steering around the work space. The 3.91 inch polyurethane wheels glide easily across flat hard surfaces like garage and shop floors.
Once the dolly is aligned with the desired lift location, foot-activated wheel locks secure the casters preventing unwanted dolly movement when bearing wheel weight. Locks keep the dolly firmly in proper alignment.
Combined with the ratcheting foot pedal lift, the highly maneuverable casters allow moving heavy wheels into cramped spaces while retaining complete control over vehicle positioning.
