Has anybody made a track dolly?
 

...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?

Something like this? Seen here un-painted.

Bill

Yes, these people made one and it looks really good.

Bill,

What did you use for those wheel's? Are they go-cart wheels? Please let me know. Thanks.

I don't think this one can go on tracks, can it?

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.

Gabriel,

I misread his post, here are the wheels I used.

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

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.

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

Scateboard wheels are fine. If you want to make it heavier, just use more wheels. They carry a lot of weight, and are smoother than most others.

I want to have the operator and AC riding on it, plus be able to have a jib on it too(not at the same time). I really want to use a ladder for tracks and skate wheels won't work on a square track.

Ok thank you! I'll have to keep those in the back of my mind for when I make my dolly. Thanks!
