- I am loading a new Master Tow dolly. Authorized Master Tow distributor. If you have any questions call 717-507-2365 Jack * DISCLAIMER; USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! I am demonstrating how I load a tow dolly. I make no guarantees or warranty about the completeness, reliability or accuracy of this information. ANY ACTION YOU TAKE UPON THE INFORMATION ON THIS VIDEO IS STRICTLY AT YOUR OWN RISK. I will not be liable for any losses or damages in connection with this video.
I also have two safety chains attached to the dolly just in case. Their are already holes in the dolly to bolt them on......just a precaution.
In the video you say the ball height should be 14” off the ground, but the manual says 18” to 20”. I like your height better as it lessens the pivot of the dolly tray when loading the vehicle (using 2”x6” to boost the ramps to compensate for the steep angle on the ramps). I assume you’ve had no problems with dragging or scrapping with the ball height that low?
The adjustable strap sucks, spend a few dollars more and get the fixed strap, easy on with no problems.
ya put cement on it beetter
Tow dolly I have has safety CHAINS !!! that you hook to the vehicle on the Dolly for safety , I'm not sure it's not the law straps + chains I tow mine behind my motorhome never a problem four down Towing no way less wear on your vehicle
Any problem towing lower to the ground cars with the ramps popping up like that?
Could those straps be used to tie down a classic mini with 10" tyres on the smallest adjustment?
brenton carter I’ve never tried it but it may be possible. They can be made very small.
I just got the tow. Dolly my car dose not have a locking stearin. Can it be tow not locked
Well if you load the car right, the front wheels will be off the ground. The trailer will locomote the front end. Stearing shouldn't be an issue at all, unless you have one of the few cars that has a front rear shared stearing system like the old 1st gen Preludes.
good video. also, you didn't mention the SAFETY CHAINS that go under the vehicle, as well as the ones on the hitch.
It doesn't come with safety chains.
I like basket straps better... less farting around!
You should really have atleast 3 layers around the ratchet spool for the strap to be secured properly in my opinion. So i leave some slack in strap before ratcheting.
Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks Man!
Great video! That answered every one of my questions and taught me the things that I've been doing wrong. Thanks!
Good video thanks I also wrap seat belt through the steering wheel with the steering wheel in locked position and I also unload the car when the car and ramps are straight .
Richard. The blue part Pivots with the car all you have to do is kick it back into place but you could drive down the road with it pivoted and it wont effect the dolly.
Hey man. Been tooling around for hours and found your video. Clutch save. Thanks brother.
Mine has two buckets and to long and it has no adjustment on it. How can I shorten the strap so I can tighten up without running out of room? I was I had the one you got.
Hey there Jack, we are a company that sells cargo control products and was wondering if you would be open to reviewing our products on TH-cam. Our company, Tarps & Tie-Downs, has been operational for close to 50 years and we offer a wide selection of products from ratchet/winch straps to truck tarps. Do you have a business email we could send some information for you to look at?
Everyone is praising the video. It's ok I guess. The strapping system is too involved and needs work. Also, the titling lock pin needs to be spring loaded and stay at the locking point. People (including me) will forget to pick it up and use it.
Release emergency brake before you head out. Important
Do I place my front wheel car in park when being towed?
Paul Stolzer yes
Does the release pin have to go back on, any tow dolly or just this brand ?
Thank u for this video!! Much needed
Nice, you make it look easy. I always get mine half a$$ on.
in a front wheel drive car does it have to be in park or neutral ?
Park
volume too low
Hi where can you get those straps with a ratchet? We bought the wrong king of straps. Our tow dolly did not come with straps. Thank you
lorraine johnson call me
Nice video Jack. Very helpful.
I needed this thanks a whole lot
Thank you HUGELY!
no collar lock???
I just bought one of these. after one tow it appears the ramps have pivoted slightly to the left. is it ruined somehow or will it pivot back
No, just kick it back in place or leave it.
It was brand new so no kicking back. Used a come along and went right back...thanks
Blue ox
Good
No safety chains?
bullwinkle says yes and cement it in too
Does one need a license plate for these Dollies
Alice Munoz In most states no, they are considered a tool. However, some poorly run states are always desperate for your hard earned money so you must call.
Thanks for this video, I just got the same dolly and was looking for good instructions on how to straps down the tires.
I have a newer car and the steering wheel does not lock??
sell the car its ha haszzaertd
Thanks for the great video, even though towing a Honda is a waste of time, best advice is to abandon the Honda (or take it to the scrap yard).
Can the Master Tow Dolly be used to tow a 2015 Ford Edge AWD? Want to tow with my motorhome but cant find info about what can be used without a complete fabrication of the front end of the car!
If its automatic, probably not. The wheels will always be turning so you dont want to risk damage to the transmission. These are typically used for fwd cars or other drivetypes with a manual transmission.
Dude13450 You can use with a rear wheel drive automatic, just remove the drive shaft. It’s a simple task.
yes disconnlect the tranny rods
