With a 680kg capacity per skate, this hydraulic wheel dolly enables safe and efficient manoeuvring of cars and light commercial vehicles across even workshop floors. Built around a robust steel tube chassis, the WS680 features four Ø100mm nylon castors that provide smooth, controlled movement in any direction. The pedal-operated hydraulic lifting mechanism raises the vehicle's wheel effortlessly, whilst a safety locking pin ensures the load remains secure during transportation.
