Any experience using these Dolly Jack's for moving Spyder?

[USAF]

Has anyone used one of these dolly jacks on your rear wheel to move your spyder around the garage out of the way ? And will it work with a 2022 Spyder RT ?

It will but it is very tight if you try to put it fully under the tire before you start to lift. Works great on the front.

:agree: .... I think the Lifting lever is not going to be accessible for the rear wheel .... I bought small wood framed moving doolies from either Harbor Freight or Home Depot .... 12 X 14-16 .... the rear wheel fit inside very nice .... I know you have to jack up the Spyder to do this, but I seldom needed to do this ....Mike :thumbup:

I got the Harbor Freight car dollies. I would have preferred the softer nylon rollers, but I use them twice a year - once to roll the Spyder to the back of the garage, and then to move it out to wake it up. I think I spent about $100 for the set of 4, and I already had a floor jack to get the bike up in the air, so it worked out for me.

Exactly as BK911 said. It's the least expensive, quickest, and safest way to move around and store your spyder for the season.

I was also thinking of getting these without the jack like already mentioned. I think this is the route I may go with.

You are saying a wood framed dolly will hold the weight of the spyder ? Do you have a picture of what you purchased ? That would be a much cheaper way to go.

I brought the same thing to move two Spyders around in the garage, works great for storing during the winter. Can move the Spyders around without the need to start them.

They work great, lift up the Spyder a couple of inches off the ground and slide them under wheels.

No pic - Sometimes I use all three, and sometimes just one under the rear wheel. .... ZERO issues with weight. ... Bought them over 14 years ago. ..... Mike :thumbup: .... Just looked on Harbor Freight. ... hardwood 1000 lb rated 12" X 18" - $ 12.95 ea.

I have one of those little HF wooden dollies under a small antique business safe made of steel and concrete that weighs close to 500 lbs. and it's as good and sturdy as the day I bought it. That's close to half of an RT.

I have used my sled dolly's that look a lot like these, work great!!!

I bought similar ones off Amazon to complement my Big Blue lift. I haven’t used them yet though, they’re still in the box.

They're on sale now at HF.

I also use those to attach my shop working stool to. The wheels on the stool always break off. So I just take them off and bolt the entire thing to the wooden dolly. Works great, and raises it up about an inch.
