Shop Correll Hand Trucks, Dollies & Jacks

What kind of dollies are there?

Hand Trucks

Hand truck dollies are the best choice for moving heavy items because the loading platform is low enough to the ground that you can just slide the platform under the object instead of having to lift it. Hand truck dollies are also great for moving small items in bulk; all you have to do is stack them onto the dolly.

Platform Trucks

Platform truck dollies have a larger platform area to hold several boxes or other products next to each other, offering a more stable option for bigger inventory.

Furniture Hand Trucks

Table, chair, and general furniture dollies are designed with those items in mind. Some allow the furniture pieces to stand up on their sides or lie flat piled on top of each other. Folding-chair dollies allow users to hang the seats in rows, making it faster to take down, open, and place them when it's time. Some furniture dollies have raised sides to hold the objects in place and prevent tipping as well.

How much can I carry with a dolly?

Dolly carts have weight limits ranging from 250 to 1,000 pounds. The range of the limit depends on a variety of factors. Firstly, what materials are used to make the dolly will affect its weight limit, with steel construction being the sturdiest. How well users can distribute the weight on the platform also affects the weight limit. Additionally, carts with plenty of space to put items side by side can often hold more. Just remember, it's best to wear ergonomic back support when handling heavy objects.

How should I safely use my dolly or hand truck?

To safely move items with a dolly, you'll first need to make sure you have the right type of dolly for the job (info on this above). Then you'll want to stack items from heaviest to lightest for the best distribution of weight, and never pile items so high you can't see over them. Secure any bulky or awkward objects with straps. Walk slowly and avoid walking backwards. Our final tip: Save your hands with a good pair of work gloves.
