Buying Guide

How to Choose the Right Cart or Dolly

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.

01 / Load

Know What You're Moving

Determine whether you need to reposition a complete vehicle, move a wheel and tire assembly or handle a heavy service component.

02 / Capacity

Check the Rated Load

Capacities vary considerably throughout the category. Match the equipment's rated capacity to the actual load it will be expected to support or move.

03 / Fit

Check Wheel & Tire Size

When choosing wheel-positioning equipment, compare the supported tire width, diameter and other fitment requirements listed for the individual model.

04 / Workflow

Consider How You'll Use It

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.

Questions

Carts & Dollies FAQ

A few things to consider before selecting vehicle and component handling equipment for your shop.

What is a car dolly used for?

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.

How do I choose the correct dolly capacity?

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.

Are all wheel dollies designed for the same tire sizes?

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.

What is the difference between a vehicle dolly and a wheel dolly?

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.

Do you carry equipment for heavy brake drums?

Yes. The current assortment includes dedicated brake drum handlers designed for moving and positioning heavy drums during service work.

Can I get help choosing the right cart or dolly?

Choose the Best Floor Jack for Your Vehicle

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:

  • RFJ-3T & RFJ-3TP: Ideal for sedans, crossovers, and light trucks. Great for daily maintenance tasks.
  • RFJ-3TQP & RFJ-3000AL: Low-profile and quick-pump designs for high-efficiency shops and lowered vehicles.
  • RBJ-30TL: Built for the big stuff. Lifts up to 60,000 lbs. for heavy-duty trucks and commercial equipment.

No matter what you drive or what drives into your bay, Ranger has a jack ready for the job.

Types of Floor Jacks

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 Floor Jack

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 Jack

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 Floor Jack

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 Floor Jack

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.
