Some burrs not removed on the plates, the foot does not touch the ground when the dolly is standing, making it difficult to load a piece of furniture ... forced to act as if we had a shovel!!! not practical at all!!! the axle on which the wheels are is too long ;; one might think that the wheel spacing is adjustable, as there is a small nut that tightens a ring .. OK, but between the chassis and the wheel spaced out to the maximum outward, there is no plastic ring to compensate for the gap, and maintain the spacing .. useless!!! This dolly seduced me when I saw it in a photo on your site, accompanied by flattering descriptions .. I am very disappointed!! I expected much better!! I need to buy several more, I will certainly not take your models back ... nor recommend them to other colleagues

Response from CAUJOLLE ROUES ET ROULETTES
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share your very precise comments and we are sincerely sorry that this dolly did not meet your expectations.
We fully understand your disappointment regarding the imperfections observed. Allow us to provide some clarifications on the points you raise:
1. Burrs, finishes, and hot galvanization
You are right, burrs and rough finishes may remain on the plates. This is directly related to our manufacturing choice: hot galvanization.
This method involves dipping the dolly in a bath of molten zinc, which creates a very thick and uneven deposit compared to cold galvanization.
If the appearance is less "pretty" or less uniform, this treatment offers maximum corrosion protection and a lifespan far superior to that of a simple fine deposit. It is a technical choice aimed at robustness and longevity, rather than perfect aesthetics.
We apologize for the lack of clarity in this explanation in the product description.
2. Foot that does not touch the ground (tilt)
The fact that the wheels do not touch the ground when the dolly is at rest is a deliberate and intentional feature in the design of many professional dollies, including ours.
This slight tilt helps relieve the wheels during long storage periods (which is common for this type of tool), thus preventing their deformation and premature wear.
We understand that this may complicate the initial loading of heavy or low objects. We will evaluate how to improve ease of use while maintaining this advantage of preserving the wheels.
3. Axle and Wheel Spacing
The deliberately longer axle is not intended to make the current wheels adjustable, but to give you the possibility to install wider wheels or another type of rim in the future, if your needs evolve.
We take note of the lack of a plastic ring to compensate for the gap. Your suggestion is very relevant, and we will immediately forward it to our design office.
We understand that these technical choices, focused on longevity, do not correspond to the ergonomics you were looking for.
We are sorry not to count you among our future customers for this type of product and thank you again for these comments, which are valuable to us for improving our product sheets and the clarity of our descriptions.
Best regards,
The Caujolle team
