Compare vehicle dollies, wheel dollies, mobile wheel jacks, brake drum handlers and related shop equipment for automotive service, vehicle positioning and component handling.
Start with the load. Moving a complete vehicle, handling an individual wheel and tire assembly and transporting a heavy brake drum are different jobs that require different equipment.
Determine whether you need to reposition a complete vehicle, move a wheel and tire assembly or handle a heavy service component.
Capacities vary considerably throughout the category. Match the equipment's rated capacity to the actual load it will be expected to support or move.
When choosing wheel-positioning equipment, compare the supported tire width, diameter and other fitment requirements listed for the individual model.
Think about where the equipment will operate, how often it will be used and whether compact storage, mobility or heavier-duty handling is the priority.
This category goes beyond traditional car dollies. The assortment includes equipment for complete vehicles, individual wheels and tires, heavy service components and shop organization.
Designed to help reposition complete vehicles, chassis and other automotive loads around a garage or service area.
Built around the handling and positioning of individual wheel and tire assemblies, with different designs available for different sizes and capacities.
Specialized equipment provides a more purpose-built way to transport and position heavy brake drums during service work.
The products in this category are designed for very different jobs. Always check the individual product's rated capacity and fitment specifications rather than choosing on appearance alone.
Carts and dollies help solve one of the most basic problems in a busy garage: getting heavy vehicles, wheels and components where you need them without tying up more workspace than necessary.
Vehicle dollies can help reposition vehicles and automotive assemblies when normal driving or rolling isn't practical.
Wheel dollies and mobile wheel-handling equipment help move individual assemblies through the service process.
Dedicated drum handlers are designed around transporting and positioning heavy brake drums during service.
Storage equipment can keep compatible dollies together and out of the way when they aren't being used.
A few things to consider before selecting vehicle and component handling equipment for your shop.
Vehicle dollies are used to help reposition vehicles or automotive assemblies around a garage or service area when moving them normally would be difficult or impractical.
Compare the weight of the load with the rated capacity of the specific dolly or handling equipment. Also pay attention to whether the published capacity applies to an individual unit, a pair or the complete system.
No. The products in this category cover different applications and wheel sizes. Check the individual product specifications for supported tire width, tire diameter and capacity before choosing.
Vehicle-positioning dollies are intended to help move or reposition a vehicle, while wheel dollies are designed around handling individual wheel and tire assemblies. The exact design and application vary by model.
Yes. The current assortment includes dedicated brake drum handlers designed for moving and positioning heavy drums during service work.
Yes. If you're unsure about capacity, tire dimensions or the type of equipment you need, contact Wrenchers and provide the details of the load or application you're working with.
Tell us what you're moving, its approximate weight and how you'll use the equipment. A Wrenchers product specialist can help narrow down the options.
Choosing the right floor jack starts with knowing what you're working on and how often. Ranger’s lineup of floor jacks covers everything from daily drivers to diesel haulers and performance builds. These jacks are engineered for consistent performance under serious loads, built with premium components, and designed to hold strong, lift fast, and last long.
Here’s a quick breakdown to help guide your pick:
No matter what you drive or what drives into your bay, Ranger has a jack ready for the job.
When you’re shopping for a floor jack, it’s not just about weight capacity. It’s also about the type of lifting system that works best for your setup. Let’s break down the main types of floor jacks and where they shine.
Hydraulic/air jacks use compressed air to drive hydraulic fluid through a lifting piston, delivering serious power with minimal manual effort. These are ideal for high-traffic shops and industrial settings where speed and safety while lifting heavy vehicles are daily priorities. Just hook it up to your air system, press a lever, and you’re off the ground in seconds.
Bottle jacks are compact, powerful, and budget-friendly, with a vertical design that makes them ideal for lifting tall vehicles like trucks and SUVs. They’re a staple for roadside kits and mobile mechanics due to their portability and simplicity.
Racing jacks are designed for speed and efficiency. Built lightweight (usually with aluminum frames) and featuring rapid-pump designs, they’re a favorite in motorsports and for performance vehicle work. They’re low-profile enough to slide under lowered cars and fast enough to get your wheels off in seconds.
Heavy-duty jacks are the real deal. Designed with high-tonnage capacities and rugged steel frames, these jacks handle serious weight like buses, box trucks, or fleet vehicles. They typically include wide bases for added stability and oversized wheels for easy maneuvering on rough shop floors.
