Dolly Daimler shape (511117)

Wielander & Schill Daimler Shaped Dolly – Versatile Panel Beating Dolly for Bodyshops

The Wielander & Schill Daimler shaped dolly (511117) is a professional-grade, solid steel hand dolly built for precision panel beating and dent repair. Thanks to its classic Daimler profile, this dolly offers multiple working surfaces and radii in a single compact tool. As a result, technicians can tackle a wide variety of panel contours without switching dollies.

Why Choose a Daimler Shaped Dolly?

The Daimler shape is one of the most recognised and widely used dolly profiles in professional bodywork. However, not all Daimler dollies deliver the same quality. In contrast, this Wielander & Schill version features precision-ground surfaces and a balanced weight distribution that provides excellent hammer feedback on every strike.

Furthermore, the Daimler profile combines a flat face, a gently curved crown, and tighter radii along the edges. Consequently, a single dolly covers flat panels, gentle crowns, and tighter curves — all without leaving the technician’s hand. This versatility makes it an essential tool for both minor dent repairs and major panel reshaping work.

Key Features

• Classic Daimler profile — multiple working surfaces and radii in one dolly for maximum versatility
• Solid steel construction — absorb hammer energy efficiently and deliver clear feedback through the panel
• Compact dimensions — 105 x 50 x 45 mm fits comfortably in the palm for precise positioning
• Balanced 1.5 kg weight — heavy enough to back panels firmly, yet light enough for extended use
• Precision-ground surfaces — smooth finish minimises marking on the panel face during hammer-and-dolly work
• Professional quality — manufactured by Wielander & Schill, trusted across European bodyshops

Technical Specifications

When to Use a Daimler Shaped Dolly

This dolly excels in general-purpose panel beating across a wide range of vehicle body panels. For example, the flat face works well on door skins and roof panels, while the crowned surface matches gently curved wings and quarter panels. In addition, the tighter edge radii allow technicians to work along swage lines and feature creases with precision.

Moreover, the 1.5 kg weight provides a solid anchor behind the panel during on-dolly hammering. As a result, dents lift cleanly and the surrounding metal stays flat. Similarly, the balanced weight distribution reduces hand fatigue during longer repair sessions, so technicians maintain accuracy throughout the job.

Pair With the Right Hammer

For best results, use this Daimler shaped dolly alongside a quality panel beating hammer. Wielander & Schill offer a range of bumping hammers and pick hammers that complement this dolly perfectly. In particular, a light bumping hammer works well for on-dolly finishing, while a pick hammer suits off-dolly raising.
