What Is a Dual Wheel Dolly

Editor:Lituo Machinery │ Release Time:2025-02-26 

Tire replacement during the maintenance of trucks, vans, and heavy equipment is a demanding and time-consuming task, especially with a dual-wheel design. How to safely and efficiently remove and install tires becomes a major challenge. The Dual Wheel Dolly, as a tool specifically used to carry and replace dual-wheel tires, was born to solve this problem.

1. Basic Definition of a Dual Wheel Dolly

A dual-wheel dolly is a machine used to move, remove and install dual-wheel tires. It generally uses rollers, levers or hydraulic systems, so that technicians can handle those heavy dual-wheel tires much easier. Compared with the traditional way of moving by people, this tool can save a lot of effort, work faster, and reduce safety issues caused by operating errors.

2. The Main Purpose of the Dual Wheel Dolly

Truck and van tire replacement

Commercial trucks and long-distance trucks generally use a dual-wheel design to improve load capacity and driving stability. However, this design requires operating two tires at the same time when changing tires, resulting in increased labor intensity. Using dual-wheel dollies can effectively reduce labor intensity and improve replacement efficiency.

Bus and heavy vehicle maintenance

Since large vehicles such as buses and fire trucks also use two-wheel designs, when repairing and replacing tires, dual-wheel dollies can help technicians complete the work safely and quickly, reduce maintenance time, and improve operational efficiency.

Agricultural and engineering machinery tire replacement

The tires of farming tractors, excavators and other equipment are usually large and heavy, and it is extremely challenging to carry them by manpower alone. The power-assist function of the dual-wheel dolly allows maintenance personnel to move and install these large tires more easily.

Logistics and fleet management

For logistics companies and transport fleets, efficient vehicle maintenance is crucial. Dual-wheel dollies can help fleet maintenance personnel complete tire inspection, replacement and maintenance work faster, reduce vehicle downtime, and improve economic benefits.

3. Advantages of Dual Wheel Dollies

Improve safety: reduce waist and shoulder injuries caused by technicians carrying tires.

Improve efficiency: Easy operation, quick tire disassembly and installation, and reduced maintenance time.

Reduce physical exertion: Use rollers or hydraulic systems to assist in handling, avoiding the heavy labor of manual handling.

Wide range of applications: Not only suitable for trucks, but also for engineering machinery, agricultural equipment and other fields.

4. Working Principle of Dual Wheel Dolly

Most dual-wheel dolly is equipped with rollers or tray structures to facilitate the stable placement of tires on the bracket, and the lifting or transfer of tires to the designated position is achieved through levers, foot hydraulics or electric drive systems. High-end models are additionally equipped with adjustable clamping devices to effectively prevent tires from slipping during operation and enhance safety.

5. Conclusion

The introduction of dual-wheel dollies has significantly optimized the tire repair industry, simplifying, and making the originally complex tire-changing process safer and more efficient. Whether it is professional maintenance personnel or companies with fleets, this tool can improve work efficiency, reduce labor costs and enhance operational safety. For occasions where double wheels need to be replaced frequently, dual-wheel dollies are a tool with great investment value.
