Frequently Asked Questions About Dollies

We stock platform dollies (wood, plastic, and steel), carpeted furniture dollies, drum dollies for 30 and 55-gallon drums, corner dollies, panel dollies, and specialty configurations for unique load types.

Dolly capacities range from around 200 lbs for light-duty furniture movers to 2,000 lbs or more for heavy-duty steel platform dollies. Drum dollies typically handle 900 to 1,200 lbs. Always verify the rated capacity before loading.

For smooth warehouse concrete, polyurethane or hard rubber casters offer the best combination of load capacity, floor protection, and ease of rolling. Avoid soft rubber casters for heavy loads on hard floors, as they can flat-spot under static weight.

Yes. Furniture dollies are useful for any item that benefits from a padded, non-marring surface during transport. They are commonly used for appliances, electronics, and finished goods in addition to traditional furniture moving.

Platform Dollies, Furniture Dollies, and Drum Dollies

Platform dollies feature flat, rigid decks in wood, plastic, or steel construction, mounted on swivel casters for omnidirectional movement. They are available in sizes from small 12-inch squares for tight spaces to large 30x60-inch platforms for oversized loads. Furniture dollies are built with carpet-covered or padded surfaces that protect finished goods during transport. Drum dollies are purpose-built circular platforms with caster configurations that allow easy rolling and positioning of standard 30 and 55-gallon drums.

Choosing the correct dolly involves matching the platform size to your load footprint, selecting a caster type appropriate for your floor surface, and ensuring the load capacity exceeds your heaviest item. Our catalog includes detailed specifications for every model so you can find the exact fit for your application.
