Can I Transport the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly without a Vehicle?  

Updated 03/29/2022 | Published 03/28/2022

Question:

Can I tow the Kar Kaddy SS empty?

Expert Reply:

Great question. While you can transport the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes # DM9713045 empty, there are a few things you need to do. The first thing you need to do is keep the self-steering pin installed so that the dolly will not have that function. Secondly, you cannot exceed a speed of 55 miles per hour. Lastly, the Kar Kaddy needs to have a tire pressure of 20 psi in order to keep the dolly from bouncing. If you are still experiencing bounce at 20 psi, you need to lower the pressure.
