View Full Version : Has anybody made a track dolly? Michael Maier July 18th, 2006, 01:24 PM ...that doesn’t use skate or rollerblade wheels? I want to make a ride on track dolly but don’t want to use the small wheels. Any other alternatives? Bill Hamell July 18th, 2006, 02:12 PM Something like this? Seen here un-painted.

Yes, these people made one and it looks really good. http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=71280 Bill, What did you use for those wheel's? Are they go-cart wheels? Please let me know. Thanks.

Are they go-cart wheels? Please let me know. Thanks. Yeah, I saw that. I was thinking of something that didn't need a set of wheels on two different angles and something I could roll over a ladder as a track. Bill Hamell July 18th, 2006, 04:42 PM Gabriel, I misread his post, here are the wheels I used. http://surpluscenter.com/item.asp?UID=2006071817285234&item=1-2677&catname=wheels I got mine for $3 each with “damaged tubes” all of them held air. I did not see those for sale this time. Michael, Sorry, I misread your post. No it does not use track. Bill Michael Maier July 19th, 2006, 04:20 PM Michael, Sorry, I misread your post. No it does not use track. Bill Yeah, I have been looking around and it seems nobody have done a track dolly with other wheels besides skate/rollerblade ones. I'm trying to make something with bigger wheels since it won't be a light weight dolly. Bill Hamell July 19th, 2006, 05:21 PM How much wieght are we talking about? I have put over 300lbs on my skate board dolly with no problem. I seems the more wieght the smoother it goes. :-) Bill Mike Teutsch July 19th, 2006, 05:41 PM Yeah, I have been looking around and it seems nobody have done a track dolly with other wheels besides skate/rollerblade ones.

They carry a lot of weight, and are smoother than most others. Mike Michael Maier July 19th, 2006, 07:05 PM How much wieght are we talking about?

I really want to use a ladder for tracks and skate wheels won't work on a square track.
