Reviews

Excellent product! We used it to slide and pivot our small aircraft. We loaded the airplane onto the dolly system but we used the toggle clamps first. They made it much easier. The handy wheel chock that is included was a great asset. Once our tires were onto all 3 RED VIPERS it was just a matter of pushing and sliding it into position. I highly recommend them and for the price it beats what the alternatives are out there. Matt N.

This is THE BEST small airplane moving/positioning product out on the market for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend the RED VIPER Positioners if you want to move airplanes in your hangar. Just roll them around side ways or any of 360 degrees. Fast & Easy to use too. It also works on my boat trailer in my garage. EXCELLENT.

This is by far the BEST product we have found to use to move our airplane around in the hangar. It just makes it glide around the floor 360 degrees. Reasonably priced for what it can do for you. Try it out yourself.

The positioner product did not work for me. As I placed the positioners and attempted to roll the airplane into positioners they tilted up and dragged along with the airplane not letting the airplane climb on them. When I finally got the airplane on the positioners the airplane was difficult to move because of the small wheel diameter. Also, the positioners ended up rolling out of the 2 main wheels when I tried to move the airplane. I had to jack the airplane up to place them back under the main wheels. The box should say not fun, not easy, not safe to use. Returned items! I ended up rewelding a car dolly and they work great!

Recently ordered 4 positioners but they all came without the corner brakes as seen in the photo and described on the description. Working to resolve. Otherwise they appears well built and after some work, I did get them under the wheels. Brakes appear to be critical to stabilize while pushing wheels onto the positioners.

Q: Regarding the Red Viper Airplane Positioner: What keeps tires in position while moving the airplane around the hangar? How easy is it to slide all 3 tires onto unit without sliding around?

Per the supplier: This product has built in speed bumps to prevent tire movement once aligned onto the dolly system. You would set all four brakes down before sliding your tire onto the positioner so the unit will not roll while loading on the tire.

Q: Are the Red Viper Airplane Positioner dollys priced and sold as each or do they come as a kit?

These dollys are priced and sold as each.

Q: What is the diameter of the casters?

The casters are 50x42MM (1.97 inch x 1.65 inch), 2" across.
