Moving an 80 Camaro around the barn

Yes!!, 3 thumbs up, 10 out of 5. Moved a 76 Camaro, myself across my garage floor...I would say pretty easily....I wasn't out of breath let's put it that way.

These were much better quality than I was expecting. Much thicker steel and very heavy. I was a little worried about how the casters would role, but they work fine. I use these when putting my car in storage for winter. They allow me to turn the car sideways in a tight spot. I am considering ordering a second set.

these work perfectly to move my 80 Trans Am around with very little effort. Just my wife and I were able to turn the car 90 degrees and push it to the side. Just make sure the floor is clean.

I purchased these to use them under the pontoons of my pontoon boat, they are outstanding!! I am able to move the boat around with relative ease. Also the shipping was phenomenal ordered on a Tuesday and Wed afternoon Fed Ex was delivering them

These dollies work as expected with 3000 pounds on them. Very easy to move once the casters are all pointing in the direction you are headed.

A lot more rugged than expected. Simple to put the wheels on. Not snowing yet so I have not put my car up. But it's simple to tell they are what I needed. Also they where delivered in a timely fashion. No complaints.

My Merrick auto skates fit perfectly into the dock, which I hung on my garage wall. Be sure to screw into a wall stud, as when loaded with skates this unit is heavy!! Nice product!!

Don't waste your time or money trying the cheaper imported dollies! These are made in America with pride, they are heavy duty, and they work great. I can easily move my 68 block Camaro around myself.

Bought for my current restoration car-Triumph Spitfire, not much car weight considering the load rating on the dollies, needles to say works well, rolls easily. These are sturdy, thick metal pieces with good wheels. Notice that the only things to bolt on are the wheels, and not side horizontal support pieces like other cheaper dollies. I really like these.

Very sturdy. Rollers need a smooth surface; smallest bits will jam rollers. Be sure to sweep garage floor before attempting to move!

Used under 25' pontoon and one person can move the front, takes two to move the much heavier back. My concrete floor is rough and rotating the wheels by hand makes it much easer to use. I was skeptical if they would work for the pontoon boat, but was pleasantly surprised. Ball bearing wheels, very sturdy.

"A huge advantage of these wheel dollies is their flexibility with basically any condition of the wheel assembly. It does not matter if the tire is deflated, the tire/rim is missing, etc. In some cases the chassis itself can be set onto these wheel dollies. These are the certainly the easiest to fabricate for other uses.. A model such as the Auto Dolly by Merrick Machine Company has actual casters that allow it to pivot the vehicle easier."

"I am able fit 4 cars in a garage originally intended for 2 by using Merrick Auto Dollies to place 2 of the cars (59 Corvette & 98 Mustang GT Conv.) tightly against the back and side walls which allows use of the garage for our keeping daily drivers (and my wife happy) out of Pennsylvania winter weather. This way, I don't have to scrape frost, ice and snow from my windows on freezing winter mornings!"

Does the job! Was able to use this on a support beam effectively, where the Tire Rack 4 tire rack wouldn't fit well. Simple solution - steel pole, welded to a steel plate.

Easy to install and looks great. I wish the ends were capped but that is an easy fix. I'm getting another set.

I bought the new wheels and what a difference. Now I would say that these are very good products. Plus, I am a very big fan of Merrick now.

This product and the company are 'off the hook'. You will not believe how heavy and durable this product is!

Hanging two 18" wheels with tires from each hanger with no issues.

I have used these on my 3800 pound '63 Ford Galaxie for years. These dollies are a must to allow you to maneuver the car in tight spaces or simply move it when it cannot be operated. They are ruggedly built and have durable casters that do not mar the floor.

I received these items with some worry that they wouldn't be very user friendly, but to my surprise they were very well made and worked perfectly, I was able to move my 1969 Mustang Mach I pretty much by myself with a little help from my girlfriend. Thanks for a great product and a great price.

Awesome price and great product- I put a 1968 Ford F250 and a 1974 Bronco on a set of these and push them around my storage unit easily. If your floor is smooth, you will have no issues.

Bought these for our FJ 40 Work well. Takes a little umph to get them moving but it serves the purpose

A little pricey but worth the for me. Was tired of trying to find a place to store my car dollies and they were always in the way on the floor or shelf. A simple but effective solution with easy access when needed.

These are an excellent purchase if you have a similar situation as I: 24x24 garage but only a single 8' door (don't judge--I didn't build it).

Well built product. Quick to assemble and the vehicle moves easily with the skates. I have another set of store bought skates and there is no comparison. Well worth the few extra dollars.

Given to brother in law so he could finally hang his Nascar Tire he has in the garage! It seems very sturdy!

A perfect, customized application for dollies intended for automobiles in shops. Great job Merrick!

These dollies are very well made and solid. I'm using them to slide a 1941 Oldsmobile frame around my shop and they work great. Even my neighbor the mechanic was impressed by them

These are great. Put the Spyder on them and tucked it into the corner of the garage for the winter. I was able to move it around the garage by myself. Little interesting getting it off in the Spring but I'm really glad I bought these.

"Seriously the nicest built rotisserie I've ever seen and I've been doing this a long time. The only one with bearings so it spins super easy. A lot of restorations will be getting done on this." *Paddock's Paint Works is a high end restorations company located in Michigan

This dolly is awesome I packed some more grease to it on the bearing and spray some liquid wrench silicone spray on the shaft off the wheel put it all together than place them under my 87 supra and my garage floor not that smooth take a little effort to start moving then it pretty easy to push I'm only 130 lbs.

I have been using these for a while and they are great. Roll easy and the cradle works well. I use mine all the time and haven't had a single issue. Great inexpensive brand compared to others that I have seen and used

Recently purchased Merrick Machine's Dolly Dock and the Axle Cradle. As a private home owner and have a number of classic cars to maintain and repair. I place a high priority on keeping parts and tools neatly stored and "relocatable". Being able to mount my car dollies "On the Wall" not taking up floor space with the Dolly Dock is a boon for me. As for the Axle Cradle.....it is not unusual to have an axle on the floor for 2 or 3 weeks awaiting replacement parts. Being able to easily push that axle around on the Axle Cradle as I work on other repairs (without bothering someone to help me lift and move that axle) gives me a big smile. Over all......Merrick offers great American-Made products from a great American-Company.

These things work great. There is a reason the shipping on them is high, they are HEAVY. You get this small box in that looks like you can walk up to it and just pick it up. That small box weighs as much as a sack of corn. I still advise using at least two people to move any car, 3-4 people recommended, assuming your surface is completely flat and level. Can't beat the price here though.

I bought these for my 66 Ford Galaxie that isn't running. The car is heavy and long!. I figured I would try them. I needed to move the car in my garage for storage. I assembled these by hand and only hand tightened the caster bolts. I then sprayed the wheel bearings with wd-40. I was able to move the car by myself on an epoxy floor.

These hold weight very well and keep rolling. I would suggest removing the air from your tires, if the vehicle you are working on doesn't have brakes. Using these while restoring my 1980 CJ5.

Perfect dollys for my VW bug. I was hesitant wondering if they would really work and they did. You don't have to jack the car up anymore than and inch or 2, slide the Dollys under the tires, and like magic, the car glides across the garage floor.

After placing a dolly under each wheel, I can push my 3,200lb car across the floor by myself with some effort and very easily change direction. With two people, it's no problem at all.

Bought them for my Miata. They are substantial and have wide castors. I am using them under my log splitter right now. They are easy to roll around the garage and look like they will work under the car. Worth the extra bucks!

This is a great solution for getting winter tires off the garage floor. Easily mounts to the wall.

The hardest part of the entire process was raising the car to place the dollies under the tires. Once the car was on the dollies a friend and I could easily move the car anywhere in the garage. The dollies were much stronger than this car required. I'm sure they will last for generations - they are that strong!

These are built to last, and made in the USA in Nebraska!! There are no others that even compete....like the old saying goes "you get what you pay for." If you looking for a nice set of dollies spend the cash and buy these....you wont be dissappointed.

Amazing way to store those wheel dollies. Love it

If you need a way to easily move a vehicle or heavy equipment around the shop, this is the ticket. The more weight you put on it the harder it is to roll but so far it's done just fine at moving around 3800 pound cars.

These auto dollys enable me to move 2 cars with fair amount of effort. Might look into bigger casters for future use. Found other neat items that this company has for other uses for the auto dolly on there website. All in all a well made and innovative product.

Got these for my son who is renovating a 52 Ford truck, gorgeous thing. He asked for these for his bday and loves them! VERY HEAVY!

"The most notable new technique was discovered using your dollies. It will be the subject of one of my future articles and had everyone taking pictures and video and posting to social media. It could potentially make a difference at a future emergency scene. Basically we used the dollies to support stabilization struts and after lifting the car using the struts were able to move a side resting vehicle. I cant explain how significant this is since we just started moving side resting vehicles only recently. This opens up a lot of options.

James sends us these photos of his beautiful Chevrolet Corvette C7 Z06 and says: "C7 Z06 on Heavy Duty Auto Dollies, 12"X 16" for rear and 12"X 12" under front tires. . . . Rolls easy. "
*James adds a SMILEY FACE and THUMBS UP emoji, which sounds like a satisfied owner to us!

I shopped around and looked at quite a few car dolly solutions before choosing the Merrick solution. I'm storing a 68 Mustang in a tight space and this solution works well. Obviously, it takes a bit of energy to get over 3000 pounds of anything moving, but with a little rocking to get all 16 wheels pointed in the same direction and rolling, this worked well.

I needed something to move vehicles around in the shop. I shopped around the auto parts stores and saw basically the same dollies...just painted different colors. These dollies looked sturdy and were the right price, so I went for them. Good money spent wisely.

Simple, heavy duty pipe for storing auto wheels. Extremely hefty. Easily holds to two wheels (w/ or w/o tires). Mounts to wall with four significant bolts. Slight upward angle keeps wheels in place. Good Product

I use these on my Pontoon boat for winter storage and they work awesome. My boat can easily be moved in the storage unit with 1 or 2 people!

For the price you can't beat them. Good quiet item. Just better have a smooth floor to be pushing the car around. You are push a car so it’s not going to be that easy.

Nice for moving my car side to side by myself.

I've found multiple uses for it. I put some of our big planters on it when it freezes. Easy to load and push around.

I was thinking about buying gojacks but they were just too expensive. I went with these and I am very happy. I use them with my 66 Chevelle convertible. I can move it by myself and they are American made. Great price with free shipping.

These are perfect. I have a 1.5 stall garage and I needed to somehow get my 55 Chevy BelAir into the corner for the winter and get my other car into the garage. These did the trick. Jack up the car. Stick under wheels. Roll car wherever you want. Awesome.

Very quick 2-day delivery and I didn't choose an expedited option. Autodolly is well built and easy to put together (one bolt/washer for each caster). Product works well for my 4500lb '69 Camaro. I only weigh 150lbs and I was able to move the car into the corner by myself.

great quality. I use them for moving my car around in the garage, also have a set for my tractor . makes it so i can put the tractor in a corner of my garage for winter storage.
