What is a Mover's Dolly?

A mover's dolly is a device which is designed to assist people with the movement of heavy loads and large objects, such as appliances or big furniture items. Many moving companies keep dollies on hand and will rent them out by request, and it is also possible to buy dollies from companies which supply moving materials. In addition to being used for moving homes and offices, mover's dollies are also utilized in big warehouses and other facilities where large objects need to be moved around regularly. A classic dolly consists of a low platform mounted to a set of casters. The platform and wheels are reinforced so that the mover's dolly can bear a very heavy load, and the assembly is usually low to the ground to ensure overhead clearance will not be an issue when moving through doorways.
