Kessler Crane Shuttle Dolly Overview

The Kessler Crane Shuttle Dolly Base Kit is a heavy-duty camera dolly platform that rides on 16 custom-cut polyurethane wheels along either the Kessler Kwik Rail system or standard track rail with diameters from 1.25 to 2". The dolly includes two track ends that clamp on the ends of your track run, providing the proper spacing and helping prevent the dolly from sliding off the end.

The track ends clamp onto your track/pipe/rails and secure with knobs. Built-in feet allow you to place the track on a level surface. The dolly platform is machined from aluminum and features multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded mounting holes. An included 100mm bowl insert enables mounting 100mm tripod heads directly onto the dolly platform.

Mounting
The included track ends allow you to set your dolly up freestanding on a flat surface and feature adjustable height feet for leveling. The included hardware enables you to mount your dolly track on tripods, as well as on light stands with Baby pins or Junior receivers.
Compatibility
The Shuttle Dolly is compatible with track rails from 1.25 to 2" in diameter.
Options
Optional mounting fittings include a Mitchell mount and a cheese plate.
Custom Manufacturing
The urethane wheels are custom cast and cut, while the platform is machined from a single piece of billet aluminum for strength and anodized black for wear protection.
Ball Bearings
Stainless steel bearings ensure smooth rolling of the dolly wheels.
