HI‐SPEED®DOLLY OPERATIONS MANUAL
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
IF NEW TO COLLINS: BECOME THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH ALL CONTENTS OF THIS HI‐SPEED®DOLLY OPERATIONS MANUAL.
IF NEW TO COLLINS: PRACTICE ALL HI‐SPEED®DOLLY OPERATIONS EMPTY FIRST, BEFORE LOADING VEHICLES.
PRIOR TO EVERY DOLLY OPERATION, VISUALLY INSPECT ALL DOLLY COMPONENTS. CHECK FOR:
ANY PHYSICAL DAMAGE THAT MIGHT COMPROMISE SAFETY
FATIGUE CRACKING OF MATERIAL OR WELDS
DISTORTIONS OF ANY COMPONENT — ESPECIALLY TRIP HANDLE
FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT OF ALL COMPONENTS
SMOOTH AND QUIET HUB ROTATION — FOR POSSIBLE WORN OR DRY BEARINGS
PROPER TIRE INFLATION (MINIMUM 60 PSI OR 4.14 BAR)
TIRE ISSUES: BULGES, CRACKING, WEATHER CHECKING, CUTS, IRREGULAR TREAD WEAR, ETC.
ANY LOOSE OR MISSING COMPONENTS, NUTS, OR BOLTS
SAFETY TIEDOWN STRAPS SHOULD BE FREE FROM DEFECTS OR FRAYED WEBBING
SHOULD THE “PRE‐FLIGHT” INSPECTION TURN UP ANY ANOMALIES, THE AFFECTED EQUIPMENT OR COMPONENT
SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE UNTIL RECTIFIED, REPLACED, OR REPAIRED.
PRIOR TO LIFTING ANY VEHICLE, MAKE SURE IMMEDIATE AREA IS CLEARED OF UNECESSARY PERSONNEL
PROPER WORK GLOVES SHOULD BE WORN WITH A FIRM GRIP ON THE PRY BAR.
ENSURE SECURE FOOTING TO AVOID SLIPPING AND FALLING FROM LOOSE GRAVEL, WET OR ICY CONDITIONS, ETC.
DO NOT EXCEED MAX LOAD LIMITS OR AIR PRESSURES LISTED ON SIDEWALLS OF ALL DOLLY TIRES
DRIVE SLOW ON ROUGH ROADS — FOR POTHOLES AND RR CROSSINGS, SLOW TO A CRAWL — CHECK MIRRORS OFTEN
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PURCHASE OF THE COLLINS HI‐SPEED®DOLLY, THE MOST IMITATED DOLLY IN THE WORLD.
TAKE COMFORT THAT THE SLZ MODEL IS THE MOST ADVANCED SELF‐LOADING DOLLY EVER DESIGNED. COLLINS’ DESIGN
ROOTS BEGAN IN AUGUST 1972 WHEN WE INVENTED THE FIRST ARTICULATING DOLLY TO LIFT A VEHICLE. SINCE THEN,
COLLINS HAS SINGLE‐HANDEDLY CHANGED THE DOLLY‐TOWING INDUSTRY WITH MAJOR DESIGN “FIRSTS” SUCH AS:
COLLINS HI‐SPEED®DOLLIES ARE THE SAFEST AND LIGHTEST‐WEIGHT PRIME MOVERS OF VEHICLES, WITH THE HEAVIEST
LOAD CAPACITY — UP TO 25 TIMES ITS OWN WEIGHT, AND WITH NO TOWING‐DISTANCE RESTRICTIONS, (TESTED TO
1,600 FREEWAY MILES). THEY WERE TESTED AT THE GM PROVING GROUNDS IN THE U.S., AS WELL AS UNDERGOING
EXTREME, RIGOROUS TESTING AT THE MIRA PROVING GROUNDS IN THE U.K. FOR EUROPEAN CERTIFICATION. HAVING
SUCCESSFULLY PASSED THESE GRUELING TESTS AND BECOMING CERTIFIED, THE COLLINS HI‐SPEED®DOLLY IS THE MOST
PROVEN DOLLY OF ALL TIME.
COLLINS HI‐SPEED®DOLLIES HAVE MORE SAFETY FEATURES THAN ANY OTHER DOLLY, TO PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS.
TREATED PROPERLY THEY WILL LAST YOU YEARS TO COME — MANY FROM THE 1980’S & 1990’S ARE STILL ON THE ROAD.

STEP 1. ADJUST TELESCOPIC CROSS RAILS BY FIRST DEPRESSING SPRING‐LOADED PLUNGER AND SLIDING OUTER
TUBE UNTIL PLUNGER LOCKS INTO HOLE THAT MATCHES TOWED VEHICLE’S TIRE WIDTH. (58” to 84” USABLE LENGTH)
68” 76” 84”
NOTE:
MAKE CERTAIN CROSS
RAILS ARE PARALLEL
AND EQUAL IN LENGTH.
STEP 2. PLACE DOLLIES BESIDE VEHICLE TIRES, WITH DOLLY IN UNLOADED POSITION: SPINDLES ABOVE DOLLY.
ALL COLLINS CROSS RAILS POSSESS AN ENGINEERED, POSITIVE CAMBER SINCE 1975. A SLIGHT “BOW” IS NORMAL.

SAFETY WARNING!
RAISING ANY DOLLY WITHOUT A SAFETY RATCHET SYSTEM
CAN BE HAZARDOUS, AS IT MAY LEAD TO PERSONAL INJURY,
VEHICLE OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND POTENTIAL LAW SUITS.
GIVE STRICT HEED TO THIS MOST CRUCIAL SAFETY WARNING!
SAFETY RATCHETS HAVE PREVENTED COUNTLESS INJURIES.
INSERTING PRY BAR
STEP 6. INSERT PRY BAR INTO EACH PRY POCKET

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
PRIOR TO LIFTING VEHICLE MAKE SURE IMMEDIATE AREA IS CLEARED OF OTHER PERSONNEL
ENSURE SECURE FOOTING TO AVOID SLIPPING OR FALLING.
MAINTAIN FIRM GRIP ON PRY BAR WITH BOTH HANDS.

STEP 7. WITH A FIRM GRIP ON END OF PRY BAR WITH BOTH HANDS, LEVERAGE THE DOLLY TIRE BENEATH THE DOLLY.
WITH THE SAFETY RATCHETS ENGAGED, THIS CAN BE DONE IN A SINGLE MOTION OR STEPPED UP FOR HEAVIER VEHICLES.
NOTE:
WHEN NEEDED, SAFETY RATCHETS ALLOW UP
TO FIVE STOP POINTS FOR HEAVIER VEHICLES,
LOOSE GRAVEL, SLIPPERY SURFACES, OR
UNEVEN ROADWAYS, PERMITTING ONE TO
PAUSE LIFTING MIDWAY, IN ORDER TO GET A
BETTER PURCHASE ON END OF PRY BAR.
WITH SAFETY LOCKS DISENGAGED — REVIEW PAGE 11 — CROSS RAILS ASSEMBLED TO DOLLIES, SAFETY RATCHETS ENGAGED IN GEAR
TEETH, AND PRY BAR INSERTED INTO PRY POCKET, DOLLY IS NOW READY FOR LIFTING. COMPLETE OPERATION FOR ALL FOUR WHEELS.
SAFETY WARNING!
BEFORE RAISING DOLLY, VERIFY ALL
SAFETY RATCHETS ARE ENGAGED

STEP 8. WHILE SWINGING PRY BAR IN A FULL ARC, SPINDLE ASSEMBLY WILL FORCE SPRING‐LOADED TRIP ASSEMBLY’S
HANDLE TO RISE AND FALL 4.25”, AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING THE DOLLY IN THE UPRIGHT, LOADED POSITION.
STEP 9. RE‐ENGAGE ALL FOUR SAFETY LOCKS OVER TRIP HANDLES.
NOTE:
WATCH AND LISTEN FOR TRIP HANDLE
TO RISE THEN SNAP BACK INTO PLACE.
DOLLY IS NOW LOCKED AND LOADED —

SAFETY WARNING!
DO NOT TOW IF TRIP HANDLE IS NOT STRAIGHT —SEE PAGE 15

SAFETY PRECAUTION!
PRIOR TO TIE-DOWN, ALL SAFETY RATCHETS AND SAFETY LOCKS MUST REMAIN
ENGAGED TO HELP PREVENT UN-COMMANDED RELEASE OF DOLLY WHILE IN TOW.

SLOW LOWERING OF ALL HI‐SPEED®DOLLIES FROM 1986‐PRESENT
1. AFTER INSERTING PRY BAR INTO PRY POCKET, PUSH DOWN TO RELIEVE PRESSURE ON THE TRIP ASSEMBLY.
2. LIFT TRIP HANDLE ABOUT 4” AND ALLOW SPINDLE ASSEMBLY TO ROTATE 3° BEHIND TRIP BODY.
NOTE: AFTER SPINDLE ASSEMBLY ROTATES A 3° ARC OR 3/8” TRAVEL, IT WILL CLEAR TRIP BODY
3. RELEASE TRIP HANDLE AND PLACE BOTH HANDS ON OF PRY BAR
NOTE: AT THIS POINT, LOAD IS ABOUT 18 LBS AT END OF PRY BAR ON HEAVIER VEHICLES, LESS ON SMALLER VEHICLES.
4. WITH A FIRM GRIP WITH BOTH HANDS, CAREFULLY LET WEIGHT SHIFT TOWARD OPERATOR AS PRY BAR IS BROUGHT
AROUND, AND DOLLY IS GENTLY LOWERED TO THE GROUND. PERFORM THIS FOR ALL FOUR ASSEMBLIES.
BEFORE LOWERING DOLLY:
 PLACE TOWED VEHICLE IN PARK/GEAR
 SET TOWED VEHICLE’S PARKING BRAKE
 REMOVE SAFETY TIE‐DOWN STRAPS
 DISENGAGE SAFETY LOCKS
 DISENGAGE SAFETY RATCHETS

SAFETY TIPS FOR COLLINS HI‐SPEED®DOLLIES 1986‐PRESENT — BOWED TRIP HANDLE
HANDLE IS LEVEL & STRAIGHT — OK TO TOW HANDLE IS BOWED WITH GAP: DO NOT TOW!
TOE POSITION — INCORRECT: DO NOT TOW!
TOE POSITION TOP OF SPINDLE — OK TO TOW
PLEASE REFER TO REAL‐LIFE PHOTOS BELOW. FORCING SPINDLE DOWN WITH PRY BAR, WHILE SAFETY LOCK IS ENGAGED WILL BEND TRIP HANDLE, THERE‐
BY CHANGING THE ANGLE OF THE TRIP BODY AS SHOWN BELOW IN RED, (BOTTOM RIGHT). TO STRAIGHTEN HANDLE, SIMPLY REMOVE TRIP SPRING AND
SLIDE HOLLOW BAR OVER TRIP HANDLE. PRY UPWARDS UNTIL TRIP HANDLE IS STRAIGHT AND TOE POSITION OF FOOT IS TOP CENTER OF SPINDLE, AS
SHOWN BELOW IN GREEN, (BOTTOM LEFT). REATTACH TRIP SPRING. DOLLY IS READY TO TOW.
IF SAFETY LOCK IS ENGAGED,
DO NOT RAISE DOLLY
UNTIL DISENGAGED!
LOOK FOR BOW IN HANDLE
IF PRESENT, DO NOT TOW!

AS A MATTER OF SAFETY, COLLINS MANUFACTURING CORP. ADVOCATES THE PRACTICE OF SAFETY TIE‐DOWN STRAPS ON ALL
DOLLY TOWS. THE 2‐FOR‐1 TIE‐DOWN METHOD SHOWN ON PAGE 11 NOT ONLY SECURES THE TOWED VEHICLE TO THE DOLLY,
BUT ALSO LENDS AN ADDED MEASURE OF SAFETY, IN PREVENTING UN‐COMMANDED RELEASE, KEEPING THE DOLLY UPRIGHT.
WITH THE HOOK COLORED IN RED, THE REAL‐LIFE PHOTOS BELOW DEMONSTRATE, IN MORE DETAIL, THE TIE‐DOWN METHOD.
