    I need to get a couple sets of car dollies so I can roll my new trailer around in the warehouse easier for wintertime storage. Northern Hydraulics has a set(2) of 1,000lb each dollies for $49.00 per set. Has anybody used these? Price is sure right, But I don't want to buy junk.

    Careful with those dollies

    It takes as much force to stop the car as to start moving it and harder to do. Be careful.

    The ones that they sell at Harbor are not junk but they are not the best either. I have 4 of them and have used them for about 3 years now, they work fine. They push kind of hard ( breakaway rolling force) but they seem to be strong enough to hold my A body car just fine. I think there are nicer ones available that have bearings in the wheels rather than bushings and that are made in the USA. Mike D.

    Welp I ran out and grabbed 4 of them for about $80.00. I jacked up the trailer and put them under. I also have a wheel base for my hitch jack. It takes a bit of pressure to get the wheels pointing the same direction, But once they all flip the trailer is quite easy to push. I believe my trailer weighs 3100lbs Plus I have my KTM(300 lbs) and my boys Yamaha 80 in there plus a couple hundred pounds of other junk. I would reccomend them for the price. I like the fact that they have cast iron wheels. I think the plastic/plastic coated wheels whould develope flat spots. On the 1-10 scale I would give them 8.5 Pentastars:beer
