Auto Dolly Parts & Equipment

The Auto Dolly line of products is built by Merrick Machine Company, established back in 1961 by Jim Merrick as an automated machinery manufacturer. As the company evolved, its product range diversified and now includes a wide selection of specialty tools. Painted in a distinctive red color, they have been present in garages, repair shops, and showrooms across the country for decades helping DIYers and mechanics alike do the job the easier, smarter, and more effective way. Merrick Machine Co is probably best known for dollies that help garage owners move vehicles and equipment around, but it also offers engine stands, lifts, wheel storage products, rotisseries, and other tools.

Merrick Machine Company is still a family-owned and -run business headquartered in Alda, Nebraska. That’s exactly where Merrick Auto Dolly products and specialty tools are manufactured, providing the build quality, capacity, and durability customers expect when they buy from an American company. That’s not only automotive repair and restoration jobs that the brand’s tools can assist with. They are widely used by homeowners for lawn and garden care, by industrial workers, boaters, and others. Everything from an automobile to a small airplane can be loaded on the brand’s dollies and pushed around where it needs to be by one person.

Merrick dollies are sold individually or come in a set of two or four, placed under each tire. They are available in standard-, heavy-, and super-duty capacities, designed to support 1500, 2500, or 4000 pounds per dolly, respectively. The platform is a thick 3/8" steel plate, not stamped steel, featuring a crown profile for reduced rolling resistance. This platform rests on heavy-duty casters with bearings either on the swivel alone or both on the axle and swivel, depending on the weight capacity. Super Duty dollies are reinforced with an extra pair of casters. Dually dollies are available for those who need to push dually trucks and trailers.
