I get this a lot, I lift the two front wheels up with a spreader on my spec lift then pull the dolly out side ways, put the car down and show the customer how to do it properly.
Everyone has their own way to do their job, but as pleco652 said that's how I've personally done many of these. Winch the front of it on the deck then set back on the dolly. They almost had it right the second time, but they did at least get the job done. Not the prettiest but it was done
had the same thing happen to my brothers 94 cadillac but we took the floor jack and lifted each side and put blocks under the wheel eventually we got it high enought the car rolled back onto the dolly maybe when loading it i should have stressed the importance of stopping to my brother as we pushed it on the dolly as he sat inside steering it
Looks like a user error situation. Tow dolly works fine....Looks like the vehicle obviously wasn't strapped AND chained properly, so don't blame it on the dolly....
We use this dollies all the time , you have to check and adjust straps every time you stop for gas because they always get loose , budget and Penske have better straps with locks that don’t allow it to come off
I only have this happen one time I had a scrap car on my dolly I wasn't Towing it far so why did not fully strap it down I had a tight enough to where it would not come off but when I stopped and went over the front but unlike this guy I got it back on Dolly myself with a floor jack and a steel rim without a tire but the moral of the story is make sure you have everything strapped down correctly lol
For eveyone complaining how the workers damaged the jeep, it was already damaged from driving over the tow dolly! Talk is cheap!! LET'S SEE YOU DO IT!!!
First one needs to have a few pieces of wood, When I towed I always had wood on board. Then you Jack up each tire with a floor Jack. Use the control arm thus lifting the tire and not the body of the jeep. Then put the wood under the tire on both sides of the jeep. Then drive or wench the jeep off the trailer.
First of all you never should have unhooked the dolly from the car. You grab a chain and hook it to the back of the jeep and pull. I've accidently over shot a vehicle on a dolly several times. grab the axe jack from the back of the jeep and fully collapse it. Place in on the dolly under the jeep. Find a good spot to jack from. Use blocks from the tow trucks to bring the jack as close to the underside of the jeep as possible while fully collapsed. Jack the jeep up high enough to clear the front of the doll. put jeep in reverse and drive slowly. The jack should fall sideways and the jeep should clear the front of the dolly.
Wow. Still trying to figure out how we end up in this position. Did the guy try & load the Jeep on the dolly without the dolly hooked up to a hitch & drive over the tire plate? Did he have it properly hooked up & did the Jeep move it self over the tire plate, while hooked up to a hitch, & than after the Jeep moved you dropped the dolly off the hitch? I know I rented one of these dolly's last year from U-Haul & moved a 69 El Camino & a 70 Chevelle about 30 miles. We had a couple issues getting situated, but was able to get things worked out. I ended up pulling both by the rear axle up on the dolly. Neither car was operable so what we had to do was use floor jacks, wood, & car stands to left the rear tires up 16" ground clearance, & than position the dolly under the tires, drop the car on the dolly, strap them down & off we went. Took about a total of 5 hours from picking up the dolly to dropping it back off & costs like $60.00. Well worth the money to move a couple of rides that need a lot of work.
Phil's Midwest Classic Cars i think they just drove it without a car attached to the Jeep, how else could it have traveled two feet past the the wheels
You can’t back a car up on a dolly this will happen only forward also uhaul has a better one than most it has a 6 inch high peace guard to prevent this but it still can happen
There a lot of ways to fix this problems without the help of the tow truck Been in that position many time never had to call for a tow truck !!!!! Save money
Josh I own a towing company and have seen this happen to many times where people try saving money only to spend 5x more. When things go wrong, like trying to tow a full time 4x4 and messing up the trans, transfer case! That’s the reason people should consider having a professional do the job!
i am a tw truck driver and that's just two rookies trying to get that car off with the bed lol instead of the wheel lift right on to the tire chain it short and lift it and roll the dolly out what idiots
I didn't see them do any damage. It looked kind of funny the way they were lifting it up, hell I thought they were gonna flip her over for a minute there. I really didn't see the crew do any damage. I know the guy trying to use the dolly on the Jeep did some damage, but I didn't see the incident.
WonderTwat Sure you can.. you just shift the transfer case into neutral and shift the transmission into neutral too just for good measure. The drive shaft will spin while driving but if its in neutral who cares. This is all if your driving a real 4x4. Not the push button shit on the dash.
Depends on the transfer case, some do not have a "selectable" neutral. Jeeps included! Not that it matters that one appears to have been driven over the front of the dolly.
Got it! The drivers foot slipped off the clutch and he pressed the accelerator instead of the brakes. I've learned something else about Americans again today. Wonder if he voted trump? No don't go there!!!
