Overview

A furniture dolly is a low four-wheeled platform that takes the weight of something heavy so it can be rolled instead of carried.

We rent two: a wooden dolly with a carpeted top, which grips the load and protects polished surfaces, and an aluminium one with a lighter frame.

They are for flat floors — office and home moves, appliances, cabinets and crates. Stairs, kerbs and gravel will tip a load off.

Centre the load over the dolly, strap anything tall or awkward, and push slowly. Most dolly accidents are a sudden stop, not a heavy lift.
