Skates go under the tyres, a tow strap needs something to roll, and a push bar needs a drivetrain that will at least freewheel. The Ranger RCD-2V works from the other end of the problem: pinch-weld clamps and adjustable saddles take hold of the vehicle's own frame rails, so the load path never touches a wheel at all. A stripped shell on a rotisserie schedule, a car with its suspension in a parts bin, a collision write-off that arrived on a flatbed with two corners missing — all of them become rolling stock.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRated at \u003cstrong\u003e4,400 lbs (1,996 kg)\u003c\/strong\u003e and running on \u003cstrong\u003e4.5″ (114 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e nylon swivel casters, it is aimed at collision centres, restoration shops and any bay where floor space is the scarce resource rather than lifting capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a fitment purchase more than a capacity purchase, and the number that decides it is the width adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFrame width.\u003c\/strong\u003e The dolly adjusts from \u003cstrong\u003e40.75″\u003c\/strong\u003e to \u003cstrong\u003e59″\u003c\/strong\u003e across. Measure the distance between the pinch welds or frame rails on the vehicles you actually work on, at the point you intend to clamp — not the vehicle's overall track, which is a much larger number and will mislead you.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHeight under the sill.\u003c\/strong\u003e The specification table for this model lists an overall height of \u003cstrong\u003e10″ (254 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e. The description supplied with the product describes an adjustable height range of \u003cstrong\u003e10″ to 13.5″\u003c\/strong\u003e instead. Those two statements are not the same claim, we have not tried to reconcile them, and if the clearance under your vehicles is tight this is the figure to confirm with us before you order rather than after.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFloor.\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon casters want a smooth, hard, level shop floor. A drain channel, an expansion joint with a lip, or a patched slab will stop a loaded dolly dead — and stopping a loaded dolly dead is how a vehicle gets shoved off its clamps.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTurning room.\u003c\/strong\u003e Full swivel means the vehicle can be crabbed sideways, but it still needs somewhere to go. Sketch the move before you make it.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eChecking the clamping points, the clearance and the floor is the buyer's responsibility, and it is worth ten minutes with a tape measure. If you send us the vehicles you need to move, we will look at the numbers with you.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat full swivel actually buys you\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe casters turn through \u003cstrong\u003e360 degrees\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the difference that makes is not really about steering. A car on fixed castors has to be driven — it goes where its geometry allows, which means a three-point turn in a space that does not have room for one. A car on full-swivel castors can be translated: pushed sideways off the wall, walked diagonally across a bay, rotated on its own centre to face the other way. In a shop where cars are parked nose-to-tail, that is the difference between moving one vehicle and moving four to get at it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach caster runs on precision ball bearings so it keeps rolling under load rather than scrubbing, and each one locks. The lock matters more than it sounds: a vehicle that will sit still under a spray gun, under a frame measuring system, or overnight in a bay on a slightly uneven floor is a vehicle that is not drifting into the one beside it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eBuilt around the load path\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe frame is steel, reinforced at the stress points and welded rather than bolted where the load concentrates. That matters for a specific reason: this is a clamped connection, not a resting one, so the frame carries a twisting load whenever the vehicle is pushed rather than a simple downward one. Distortion in a chassis dolly does not announce itself — it shows up as a clamp that no longer sits square, which is the moment the grip is lost.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe finish is specified to resist corrosion, oil and the chemicals a busy shop floor collects. On a piece of equipment that spends its life on the ground under solvent, that is a service-life feature rather than a cosmetic one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere is nothing hydraulic, pneumatic or electrical in the design. No fluid to leak, no air line to trip over, no motor to fail, and maintenance that amounts to checking the caster bearings, the locks and the frame fasteners occasionally and keeping the wheels clear of debris.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCollision repair centres\u003c\/strong\u003e, where vehicles routinely arrive with no drivetrain, no wheels or no steering and still have to be positioned precisely.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRestoration workshops\u003c\/strong\u003e — a bare shell has no other sensible way to be moved, and a shell is exactly what you cannot afford to drag.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePaint and body shops\u003c\/strong\u003e that need a vehicle positioned to the inch and then held there.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStorage and dealer prep\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the constraint is packing more cars into the same floor, and a non-runner in the wrong place blocks everything behind it.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe description on file for the RCD-2V covers the dolly itself — frame, adjustable saddles, pinch-weld clamps and its locking swivel casters. It does not itemise a carton list, and it does not state how many units are supplied or whether the \u003cstrong\u003e4,400 lb\u003c\/strong\u003e rating is read per dolly or across a set. Moving a whole vehicle normally takes more than one, so this is worth settling before you order: tell us the job and we will confirm the quantity you need rather than have you guess from a photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eCapacity\u003c\/th\u003e \u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRated capacity\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e4,400 lbs (1,996 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eAdjustment\u003c\/th\u003e \u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWidth adjust\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e40.75″ to 59″\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOverall height\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e10″ (254 mm) per the specification table; the supplied description says 10″ to 13.5″ — confirm with us\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eMobility\u003c\/th\u003e \u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCasters\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e4.5″ (114 mm) nylon, swivelling through 360 degrees, locking\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCertification, stated honestly\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe data we hold for the RCD-2V claims no third-party approval or independent listing, and we are not going to write one onto the page by implication. If your insurer, your accreditation body or a fleet contract requires vehicle-handling equipment to carry a specific recognised approval, treat it as unanswered and verify it against the manufacturer's own documentation before you commit; ask us and we will put the question to Ranger. Independently of any of that, the safe-use rule is the same as it has always been — a dolly is for moving a vehicle, not for working underneath one. Set the vehicle down on rated stands before anyone goes under it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis item ships free, so there is nothing to add at checkout. Deliveries of this kind arrive on a freight carrier and are kerbside: you need to be able to take the shipment off the truck, or you can arrange collection from the carrier's local terminal instead — often the easier route for a shop without a dock. A delivery to a residential address carries an additional residential fee, applied once per brand on an order rather than per item. Check the shipment over before you sign, and write anything you find onto the delivery paperwork on the spot; once a clean receipt is signed, a damage claim becomes very hard to run. Delivery is within the contiguous United States.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eRanger issues a single warranty document across its product line and we hold a copy for this model. No term is printed here because the data on file does not give one, and a warranty period invented to fill a gap on a web page is worse than an honest blank — ask us and we will send you the current document before you order. If something fails, photograph it in place and contact us before you cut, weld or straighten anything. Repairing a structural part yourself is normally enough on its own to end a claim.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mechanicsuperstore.com\/pages\/contact\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e for more vehicle dolly information.\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-main-product-spec-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-spec-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-spec-item\"\u003e \u003ctable border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eLifting Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e4,400 lbs.
