1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the SucceBuy Car Tire Wheel Dollies. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your new wheel dollies. Please read this manual thoroughly before use and retain it for future reference.
These dollies are designed to facilitate the movement and positioning of vehicles in garages, workshops, showrooms, and for various repair and restoration projects. Each dolly is constructed from durable alloy steel with a diamond plate surface and features four 3-inch ball-bearing swivel casters, two of which include locking mechanisms for secure positioning.

2. Safety Information
Always prioritize safety when using heavy-duty equipment. Failure to follow these safety guidelines may result in personal injury or damage to property.
- Read the Manual: Understand all instructions and warnings before operating the dollies.
- Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 1500 lbs (680 kg) per dolly. The total capacity for a pair is 3000 lbs (1360 kg). Overloading can cause structural failure and injury.
- Stable Surface: Use the dollies on a flat, level, and hard surface. Uneven or soft surfaces (like gravel) can cause instability and make movement difficult or unsafe.
- Proper Placement: Ensure the vehicle tire is centered and securely seated on the dolly's diamond plate surface.
- Locking Casters: Always engage the locking mechanisms on the casters when the vehicle is in its desired position to prevent unintended movement.
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves and safety shoes, when handling and operating the dollies.
- Clear Area: Keep the work area clear of obstructions and other personnel during vehicle movement.
- Inspect Before Use: Before each use, inspect the dollies for any signs of damage, wear, or loose components. Do not use damaged equipment.
- Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the work area.
3. Setup and Assembly
The SucceBuy Car Tire Wheel Dollies require minimal assembly. Follow these steps to prepare your dollies for use:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. You should have two dolly platforms and eight 3-inch swivel casters (four with brakes, four without).
- Attach Casters: For each dolly, attach the four swivel casters to the designated mounting points on the underside of the platform. Ensure that the casters with locking brakes are positioned on the same side of the dolly for easier access and operation.
- Secure Casters: Use the provided bolts, nuts, and washers to securely fasten each caster. Tighten all hardware firmly to prevent wobbling or detachment during use.

Once assembled, the dollies are ready for operation. The integrated handle on each dolly allows for convenient transport and storage.
4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to safely move your vehicle using the SucceBuy Car Tire Wheel Dollies:
- Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure the vehicle's parking brake is engaged and the transmission is in 'Park' (for automatic) or a low gear (for manual).
- Lift the Vehicle: Using a suitable vehicle jack, lift the tire you intend to place on a dolly off the ground. Ensure the jack is placed on a stable point of the vehicle chassis and is rated for the vehicle's weight.
- Position the Dolly: Carefully slide the assembled wheel dolly under the lifted tire. Ensure the tire is centered on the dolly's diamond plate surface.
- Lower the Vehicle: Slowly and carefully lower the vehicle onto the dolly. Ensure the tire is fully supported by the dolly before removing the jack.
- Repeat for Other Tires: Repeat steps 2-4 for each tire you wish to place on a dolly. For full vehicle mobility, it is recommended to use four dollies (two pairs).
- Unlock Casters: Once all desired tires are on dollies, disengage the locking brakes on the casters to allow free movement.
- Move the Vehicle: Gently push the vehicle to its desired location. The 360° swivel casters allow for movement in any direction.
- Secure the Vehicle: Once the vehicle is in its final position, engage the locking brakes on at least two casters per dolly to prevent accidental movement.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your wheel dollies.
- Cleaning: Clean the dollies after each use to remove dirt, grease, and debris. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
- Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the swivel mechanisms and wheel axles of the casters with a light machine oil to ensure smooth operation.
- Hardware Check: Regularly inspect all bolts, nuts, and washers for tightness. Re-tighten any loose hardware to prevent components from separating during use.
- Caster Inspection: Check casters for wear, cracks, or damage. Replace any worn or damaged casters immediately. Ensure the locking mechanisms function correctly.
- Storage: Store the dollies in a dry, clean place when not in use to protect them from corrosion and damage.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SucceBuy Car Tire Wheel Dollies, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dolly wheels do not rotate 360° freely. | Brake levers may be interfering with the dolly platform or other components. | Ensure brake levers are fully disengaged. If interference persists, check for proper caster installation. Some users have reported modifying the brake lever or adding washers during assembly to resolve this. |
| Dolly wheels bend or deform under load. | Exceeding weight capacity; uneven load distribution; using on soft or uneven surfaces. | Ensure the vehicle's weight does not exceed 1500 lbs (680 kg) per dolly. Distribute the load evenly. Only use on hard, flat, and level surfaces. Replace any damaged casters immediately. |
| Difficulty moving the vehicle. | Caster brakes engaged; casters are dirty or lack lubrication; uneven surface. | Disengage all caster brakes. Clean and lubricate casters. Ensure the surface is smooth and level. |
| Dolly feels unstable. | Loose hardware; improper tire placement; uneven surface. | Check and tighten all assembly hardware. Ensure the tire is centered on the dolly. Move to a flat, level surface. |
