Dolly wheels

[Stephen Potts]

Hello. Has anyone used the Compass24 Dolly wheels.
Thanks Steve

If you mean these then Fenlander’s your man.



He has the very similar Trem version.

If you’ve space to carry them then they’re great…so much easier to pull a loaded sib when not having to lift the nose weight.

[Stephen Potts]

Hello and yes that's them. There is also a more expensive one for £170. Was wondering what the difference was between them and if people would recommend them. Thanks Chipko

[Fenlander]

Link the £170 ones so I can advise.

[Stephen Potts]

Hello Fenlander. Sorry I don't know how to add links. I just know there on Commpass24 website

[chipko]

I’d hazard they’re the articulated ones which Mr F has.

[Stephen Potts]

Yes that's them. I think the more expensive one is galvanised. Thanks

[Fenlander]

I did wonder. Assuming so I chose the more expensive ones with the steering swivel as otherwise you can't turn a corner or do a three point turn... only go in straight lines or very gentle curves.

Edit: I can only see the ones at £149.99 on the Compass24 website. It would be good to know exactly the £170 ones before giving a certain answer.

[Stephen Potts]

Where did you get yours. I have only seen them on Commpass24 website

[Fenlander]

You're going to need to find a way of confirming exactly which are the £170 type you refer to or it's hard to confirm an opinion on them vs the cheaper ones.

Mine came from Italy and were damn expensive as at the time there was no UK stock of the exact type.

[Stephen Potts]

They are £179.99 definitely on Compass24 website. I'm looking at them now. Seem to have black rubber on the part the inflatable rests on. It doesn't say they swivel but on a picture they seem to have a swivel section. Inflatable Dinghy Dolly

[Fenlander]

OK got them now. They are under trailers on that site. Yes that's exactly what I have so likely made by Trem as mine are.

Read how I got on with mine post 76 onwards this thread...

And importantly see the tube bending mod I needed to do so I didn't have to stoop to the handle which was too low. This can't be predicted as it depends on the relationship between the bow handle and point at which the "fork" on the dolly holds the bow. Post 81 this thread...

[Stephen Potts]

Yes that's them great. Do they take up much room. They look good. Be great for my wife to pull on, I normally have to do it myself and the weight of the D ring at the bow hearts my hands lol. Thanks for your help and time.

[Fenlander]

See them in the back seat of a Mondeo estate post 81 on that first linked thread for how much room they take.

[Stephen Potts]

I think them Dolly wheels im going to order will take all that hard work of having a trailer.

[Stephen Potts]

Yes about the size I thought. Be well worth it instead of a trailer. Thanks you are very helpful

[Stephen Potts]

Hello Fenlander. Just to let you know I have ordered them Dolly wheels today. Thank you for your information and help. Steve ��

[Fenlander]

Well done, they save so much lift and twist on the shoulder/neck area... certainly for me at a slightly creaky 66yrs very worthwhile.

[Stephen Potts]

I'm getting prepared for the easy way of life at 57yrs old. ��
