Our range includes both hydraulic and mechanical wheel trolleys, engineered to reduce manual strain and improve workshop safety when removing and refitting heavy wheels.
Designed for use with trucks, buses, agricultural machinery and other large vehicles, wheel trolleys provide controlled lifting, precise positioning and secure movement of wheels during maintenance and repair operations. Each system is built for durability, ease of use and long-term reliability in demanding workshop environments.
All equipment is supported by our nationwide engineering team, ensuring correct setup, safe operation and ongoing performance.
OUR RANGE OF wheel trolleys
Hydraulic Wheel Trolleys for Controlled Lifting
Hydraulic wheel trolleys provide smooth and controlled lifting, allowing technicians to raise and position heavy wheels with minimal physical effort. Pedal-operated hydraulic systems leave both hands free, improving safety and control during operation.
Adjustable lifting arms accommodate a wide range of wheel diameters, while integrated roller bearings allow wheels to be rotated into position with precision. Safety retaining brackets ensure wheels remain secure during movement, reducing the risk of accidents in the workshop.
These systems are particularly suited to commercial vehicle workshops handling large wheels on a daily basis.
Mechanical Wheel Trolleys for Heavy-Duty Applications
Mechanical wheel trolleys provide a robust and reliable solution for handling large wheels, including deep-treaded agricultural tyres and heavy-duty vehicle wheels.
Ergonomically designed lifting arms can be adjusted to accommodate a wide range of wheel sizes, with some systems supporting diameters exceeding 2 metres. Roller bearing systems assist with wheel positioning, while heavy-duty castors ensure smooth manoeuvrability even under load.
These systems are ideal for agricultural, plant and specialist vehicle environments where wheel size and weight demand a more heavy-duty handling solution.
Safe Handling of Large Wheels
Handling large wheels manually presents significant safety risks. Wheel trolleys are designed to reduce these risks by supporting the full weight of the wheel throughout removal and installation.
Features such as controlled lifting mechanisms, secure retaining brackets and stable multi-wheel bases ensure safe operation. By reducing manual handling, workshops can improve both safety standards and operational efficiency.
Workshop Efficiency & Ergonomics
Wheel trolleys are not only a safety tool but also an efficiency upgrade. By allowing precise positioning and controlled movement, they reduce the time required to remove and refit wheels.
Ergonomic design reduces strain on technicians, supporting better working conditions and reducing the risk of injury. In high-throughput environments, this translates directly into improved productivity and consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions about Wheel trolleys
-
A wheel trolley is a workshop tool used to safely lift, move and position heavy vehicle wheels during removal and installation.
-
A wheel trolley is designed for lifting and positioning heavy wheels, often using hydraulic or mechanical systems. A wheel dolly is typically used for moving vehicles or wheels across the floor and does not provide controlled lifting.
-
Yes. Wheel trolleys are commonly used for trucks, buses and agricultural vehicles, where wheel size and weight require controlled handling equipment.
-
Yes. By reducing manual handling and supporting the full weight of the wheel, wheel trolleys significantly reduce the risk of injury and improve overall workshop safety.
