Wheel Dollys Question

wheel dollys


are a tool that many shops use that allow you to slide the car in any dirrection easily so you can effectively move cars and maximize the use of floor space, with cars on wheel dollys you don,t even need to allow room to open the doors between cars as you can easily slide the car in and out of location with a carefully guided shove.
but like all tools theres a vast differance in quality between the differant styles/types available.

around the shop its frequently a P.I.T.A. to move cars around to get the necessary room to do some types of work if you have limited floor space as most of us know.
now one neat little semi- fix is to put the cars your not currently working on , on wheel dollys that allow you to slide the car forward,back,sideways,diagonally ETC. without needing to find the keys or push in back and forth several times to get the angles correct, so many of the better shops have wheel dollys in use.
they come in vastly differant QUALITY ranges and price ranges

heres a few, notice the differance in the carry capacitys

my question is simply this, I HAVE USED THE CHEAPER ONES LIKE HARBOR FRIEGHT SEELS AND THEY ARE CRAP IN MY OPINION, HAS ANYONE FOUND A VERY GOOD QUALITY WHEEL DOLLY SET THAT THEY LIKE?
iM REALLY TEMPTED TO PURCHASE SEVERAL SETS OF THE 2400LB RATED SETS FROM SUMMIT RACING, (SUM-G1048-2 ) BUT WANT ADVICE/INFO FIRST
