Ensure Levelling
For any track system, achieving perfect levelness is paramount. Use shims, wedges, or levelling legs under your track supports to prevent your dolly from drifting or causing uneven movements.
Secure Connections
When linking multiple track sections, ensure all connections are firmly seated and locked. Any looseness will create bumps in your dolly move.
Cleanliness of Rails
Keep the track rails meticulously clean and free of dust, grit, or any moisture. Even small particles can compromise the smoothness of the dolly wheels.
Proper Spacing
Maintain consistent spacing between parallel track sections (if using a dolly with two sets of wheels) to ensure the dolly runs smoothly without binding.
Consider Track Ends
For safety and smooth starts/stops, ensure your track run has proper end stops to prevent the dolly from rolling off the rails.
