You sold me on the Collins dollies, having watched many videos before seeing this! I don't tow, and will not purchase them... but I am impressed. Keep up the good work.
What you showed is exactly why I did not like the ITD dollies my buddy had. That pry handle has FULL WEIGHT on it the whole travel until it locks. And then all you have locking is that little spring loaded pin.
@@CaseyLaDelle Man you had those crossbars smiling 😊 I never liked those ITD ones either. I agree with everything you said. In repo situations (say you're too close to a wall to fully crank the bar) it's nice to be able to pop them up into the 1st position and the vehicle will roll away. Stop a few feet later and crack them up all the way, lock them in, lock them down, tie down and go. If you can afford the newer upgraded Collins they're totally worth it 100%. Crap tools cost you losses and dollies definitely apply here.
You show how that bar bent well I've actually had that bar slip and luckily it came across the back of my shulderblades some how and threw me to the ground in a heatbeat. I no longer tow but if I do ill definitely be requesting my company to look at the Collins dollies
No, they are made to tow 4x4 and AWD vehicles. There are different ratings, mostly to do with what tires they have (size and load ratings). A big use of dollies is in repossessions. Whatever they need to haul, goes on them.
Hahaha absolutely love it bro!!! It doesn't get anymore real than that! They broke so easily! I've never had ITD and I'm glad both of my trucks came with Collins 5.70 I've got aluminum and steel rails and honestly I'm not sure I'll ever use the steel rails. I've had some heavy trucks on the aluminum and although they flexed a little while extended all the way and loaded they straightened right back up when the weight was off.
@@CaseyLaDelle Wow ! I would have thought the collins would have been twice the price of the other ones. Kind of like comparing Harbor fright to snap on.
Breaking my heart. I just paid $500 for two sides steel.. Not sure name.. But I think in the ditch D's.. Kinda medium duty.. But aluminum bars.. I hope they work together, or I'm screwed. Haven't used yet.. Gotta fix one tire.. It's off the rim on one beed.I'm hoping it pops back on.. But we'll see. I guess I need to be careful with mine. It's got the safety deals like you showed said good. So Maybe I'm in good shape.
@@CaseyLaDelle I just went from flatbed and bought brand new self loader wrecker and it came with ITD Dollies. Every time I need to use them I miss my flatbed lol

I love my Collins dollies. I bought them after watching you put them through the paces and have not yet been disappointed. 👍

Man that was the best dolly review I ever seen held a dump truck crazy!
They held up just fine and are still in use today

In the Ditch advertises for itself LOL. The Collins are so solid! Watching you test aka break stuff always makes for a fantastic video!
Thank you for picking that truck up for my father!

Thank you for making this video. Youve just help me deside which ones i will buy... when i do
I’m amazed. I thought dollies were for small sedans only. Tow truck drivers won’t even put a RAV4 on them where I live.

@@jasonsprouse2803 They’d be smokin pretty bad with a BOF SUV or Pickup. No way that’s safe.
They can tow a rav4 it’s just a dump truck is a little…. Much…
been watching a few of your videos over the past few weeks , this one has made me laugh the most! it was great

Now this is why you can have nice things! (by getting rid of the crap things).
Your new catch nickname is CTT Casey tested tough!!!
Thats awesome Casey 👍
so what is the price difference between them. I would think a lot considering the quality difference.
In The Ditch dollies are about $500 more expensive, and are not nearly the quality of Collins
@@CaseyLaDelle Wow ! I would have thought the collins would have been twice the price of the other ones. Kind of like comparing Harbor fright to snap on.
@@CaseyLaDelle
Agreed
Nice green dump truck.
Do you need to secure dollies with a strap ?
Legally, yes..... they have to be secured to the wheels with what is essentially a motorcycle strap.
Is that an old Greotts truck
Yes it is
Wow those ditch dollys are really scary.
Hello,
Can anyone help me where to buy Collins Dolly I prfere used 5.7 size

What size are your cross bar on your collins dollies? And do collins cross bars come in different sizes?
