Tow Dolly
Category: Equipment & Tools » Moving Equipment, Trailers & Ramps
A Tow dolly is a two wheeled trailer used to transport the vehicle you are towing with the drive wheels off of the ground.
A Tow Dolly is the perfect choice for transporting a vehicle from location to location. With an easy hookup and unhook, it's the right choice for many travelers on vacation and more.
Tow Dolly Precautions that should be taken before using
- Your vehicle must have lockable steering. Check your owner’s manual if you are unsure.
- A tow dolly cannot be used to tow mid- or rear-engine mounted vehicles.
- Vehicles with a low front end or air dams may not have enough ground clearance to drive up the tow dolly platform.
- The tow dolly must be attached to your Penske rental truck before loading your vehicle onto the tow dolly.
- Your vehicle must be centered with its front end on the tow dolly facing forward. Never back a vehicle onto a tow dolly.
- Rear-wheel, four-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicles must have their drive shaft disconnected and removed. Consult your auto dealer.
- Do not load possessions, people or pets in your towed vehicle.
- Do not attempt to back up your rental truck with the tow dolly attached. Severe damage to your vehicle and the tow dolly could result. If backing up is necessary, remove your vehicle from the tow dolly, then unhook the tow dolly from the truck and move separately.
