T-dollies

[Brown Now]

T-dollies are starting to filter their way in to the system. Had one the other day. Handed it off to my meet driver. You can slightly feeling it retracting. Other than that I could not sense anything different. Anyone else get a chance to pull one? This was dolly one in a set of triples.

Let me know when they start bringing in the blow up dollies, and you'll have my attention.

Wow! Didn't take long for that to happen?

 

[Brown Now]

Starting to see a lot more of them.

Starting to see a lot more of them.

My building has one on display. Not sure if it is to train Feeders on pre-trip or train the wrenches on maintenance.

I've already seen one red tagged at the triples pad. I'm sure there's going to be bugs. Come hell or high water, they're going to make them work.

We were checking one out the other day, it has many more parts in it that can break -.-

So when the dolly doesn't expand back when going around a corner and the set pinches up is that going to be an avoidable accident????

It's already happened. Driver was not charged.

I pulled one this week. Couldn't tell much of a difference while driving. It felt lighter than the standard dolly when lifting to put on hook, and the lift handles are higher off the ground so you don't have to bend over as far to lift it up. I did see one in our red tag lot that did not expand which is my biggest concern with them, and I will probably use them sparingly going forward until they get the bugs worked out.

Why even bother using one unless it's in a pre-built set you're pulling? We usually have an ample supply of dollies in our yard so I'd pass on one of those.

Seems like a smart plan to me.

Don't see why not.... Upstate has never officially been in management ...(only a jr. On road sup in his mind) and he seems to do enough posting on the management threads....

 

[Coldworld]

Are there any extra steps or do dads that you have to do with these extendo dollys????

And the bad thing is, he seems to know more than the PT Sups.

Mechanic told me today that they were not designed to be towed without the air hooked up. The computer freaks out that its going 45+ mph and wants to retract but has no air. Thats why it thows a code and so many are sitting red tagged

What is a T-Dollie??
