Best shop wheels

[REV2XHEART]

Going to need some shop wheels for the sled I have coming. Where do you get the good ones again? Not the ones that just come off and are a total pain to use.

Would love to know as well. Likely will just make some I've tried a lot and they are all crap

Sure Grip Dollies by Recreational Necessities | Roll your sled by hand using the sturdy, swivel track dolly, which makes them a helpful tool for your shop or trailer. Imagine no more heavy lifting, or getting off your sled to swing the back end aroun

this is a dolly we built 10 years ago from some scrap we had laying around. its very heavy and could be made alot lighter. works pretty well but should extend the handle as it was built when a 136 was a long track.

ill add the pictures for thedolly later. phone wont let me resize pictures.

ive also built a half dozen sets of these for friends and family. all wheels have bearings. I have a fairly rough gravel drive and these are the only dollied that work. ive road tested them to 35 mph

saw these in Princess Auto yesterday, and they looked good. They have rubber on so the skis don't slide off. Heavy looking material and 4 wheels per.

Those ones are garbage got a set the casters are too small

Yup junk. Good if your shop floor is perfect and doesn't have even a grain of sand on it though

 

[oiljunkie]

Yeah Purchased the ones from BRP, for my summit and if the front skis are not sitting just Perfect, they'll slide off. A real Pain!

The princess auto one are complete garabage. BRP ones are decent for the show room floor. Buddy of mine bought some from Rec Supply last year and I was amazed at how well they worked. The Ski dollies are a fair bit longer than the princess ones and don't tip over. Casters are of way better quality and actually can handle some garbage on the floor. Will probably be buying another set or two for the shop this year.

I have the ones from Princess Auto. They are junk but I made 1 set from 2 with some angle from work and they work not bad now. bought some from Costco and they work alot better than the PA dollies.

These are the best I've used. From Costco. But, don't get me wrong, they're all crap

Built the stand last year. It's all I use now.

Oops, well I stand corrected, guess never looked close enough according to recent comments. The ones I have look very similar and work pretty good. They roll over misc debris without getting stuck or sled sliding off. So you guys made me go look in the garage, and I notice mine have bigger wheels that are made of some kind of soft rubber.

timbersled used to make an awesome set expensive but worked so well that Allen said lots of guys use them on the trail for spring access instead of trashing their skis


they are called the all terrain wheel kit $450

I saw this setup while I was surfing the other day. Looks like it might work quite well.

Below is his write up:

I was looking at the video of the Sledez dolly and was thinking I could make something similar. The Sledez looks slick as heck but I'm sure not going to pay $300+ for one. My 3 piece dollies are junk so here's what I did:

-- Treated 2x10x12. 50" wide for front and approx 6.25ft long beam. I made them mortise and tenon with a router a bit, along with wood screws of course.
-- 2 swivel casters (2.5" metal) on each end of the front and 2 in the back (used router to recess them a little).

I cut a lot of wood out to lose some weight and it turned out really good. Drive on, drive off and with the studs in my track it's a snap. I bet it would work the same way without studs too. The dolly moves around with ease while loaded up and goes over the transition between my garage and driveway no problem. I also put a rope on the front but it isn't shown in the first 2 pictures. Less than 2 hours of time, $25 for the 6 casters and $10 for the treated 2x10x12. $35 vs $300+, you do the math.

Those look pretty slick.I'm just gonna build a wooden cross and bolt on my chitty PA dollies.

Super glides have a similar set up and looks like it would work good!

I've had the best luck with these. Only problem is the chitty cables on the ski dollies.

i have the costco ones, i ran 15" 2x2s on each side of the ski ones and a 2x2 stacked on another 2x2 on the rear to go between the lugs. the rails sit on the 2x2. and i use a strap going from handle to handle over the spindle to keep the ski ones from firing across the floor. It works 10 times better than the way they came.
