Discover the Widest Dolly for Today’s Towing Demands

In today’s towing landscape, operators aren’t just dragging compact cars anymore. Between wider SUVs, stretched trucks, EVs with battery packs, and crossover-coupes with electronic steering, modern vehicles demand more from towing equipment. For those in recovery, fleet work, or roadside assistance, investing in truly high-quality high-speed dollies isn’t optional—it’s essential. At Collins Manufacturing, our Hi-Speed® Dolly line meets this exact challenge, built for strength, safety, efficiency—and yes, with features like the widest dolly usable width that make all the difference.

The Shift in What “Towable” Means

Over the past decade, the automotive world has evolved: SUVs and crossovers dominate sales, trucks get wider bodies and overhangs, and EVs often add mass and require special handling. What this means for towing operators is that older equipment may no longer accommodate wheelbases, widths, or weights safely—or efficiently. Trying to manage with undersized or flimsy gear slows down work, increases risk of damage, and elevates liability. Towing operators who want to stay competitive—and profitable—need dollies that can handle real-world conditions.

Why Quality Matters—and What Makes It “High Quality”

A high-quality towing dolly must cover several bases:

1. Width & usable space: being wide enough to accommodate larger wheels and body overhangs without scraping or straining.
2. Towing capacity: able to handle the weight safely, especially under freeway or interstate speeds.
3. Safety features: mechanisms to secure, ratchet, adjust camber, deal with slippery or uneven surfaces.
4. Durability: materials, construction, components built to last despite heavy loads, frequent use, exposure to the elements.
5. Efficiency & operator comfort: lighter weight where possible, self-loading features, quick-adjust hardware, reduced set-up time.

Failing in these areas costs money—repairs, damage claims, slower job turnover, accidents, and downtime.

How Collins Hi-Speed® Dollies Solve Today’s Challenges

At Collins, we’ve been designing dollies since 1972—constantly innovating. Our Hi-Speed® Dolly system is engineered specifically for the modern towing operator who needs speed, reliability, safety, and ease of use. Here’s what sets them apart:

• “Widest Dolly” usable width: When Collins says “84 inches,” that refers to truly usable width—not just frame width. That means wider tires, larger overhangs, and non-standard body styles can be accommodated without risk. (collinsdollies.com)
• True Positive Camber: Helps keep towed wheels in alignment even over long freeway distances, reducing wear and lowering risk of tire damage or misalignment.
• High tow capacities: depending on line (Hero, Pro, Repo, G7, G7X), the Hi-Speed® Dollies are built for 3,000+ to over 5,000-lb loads, with heavy duty wheels and high performance tires.
• Freeway approved: Not just built tough—they are tested for real-world highway conditions. No towing distance restrictions on approved models.
• Safety Ratchet System: Raises, lowers, secures safely against walls, on snow, ice, gravel, or slopes. Secondary safety helps protect both equipment and personnel.

Operational Advantages: More Than Just Specs

What do these features actually mean in a towing operation?

• Faster jobs, more jobs: If your dolly can load quickly, accommodate a wider range of vehicle styles, and tow safely at highway speeds, you spend less time swapping gear or repositioning.
• Less damage, fewer claims: Scrapes, improper loading, slippage—all expensive. Damage risk drops with proper width, positive camber, and secure ratchets.
• Lower labor costs: When dollies are intuitive, safer, and easier to use, you reduce the physical strain on operators, cut the risk of injury, and reduce repair downtime.
• Reliability in varied conditions: Rain, snow, sand, gravel—Hi-Speed® Dollies are designed for all of it so that you can answer more calls, more reliably.

Why Choosing the Right Dolly Pays Off

Some operators may balk at upfront cost—but here’s where long-term returns show up:

• Fewer breakdowns and maintenance costs. A well-built dolly lasts much longer under heavy loads.
• Savings on damage to towed vehicles and liability exposure.
• Ability to take on more challenging jobs (e.g., wider vehicles, freeway tows) that may command higher rates.
• Improved brand reputation: fast, safe, professional work draws repeat business and referrals.
