As long as you don't look at the curbside, you're good.

what i have heard about these from my local dealership that i did tow for is wreckmaster skates or find away to get it in neutral! electronic shift no
mechanical after they built the second generations reason being is on those they have a electric motor attached to the wheel so if you pull with resistances it
can break the very expensive ELECTRIC MOTOR and they cost alot never told exact price but i don't want to know cause that means i paying for one no so
wheel lift is a almost guarantee of no damage with the right operator cause you should have no reason to drag it just use go jacks .I know everybody has there
own way of sliding or getting on the bed without resistance but me it takes me about 20 to 40 minutes loading and unloading using skates some times they want
to be difficult thats from my experience many have different ways that works best for them i just saying don't knock how i do it cause we are all
indivuals and thats what makes the world what it is today and just for the record i hate dawn dish soap it probally worksd great for somebody but not me

They can be towed (from the front only).......with or without dolly's. Our wreckers are do it all the time and I have put a few on the wheel lift on my
bed.
