I bought one of those to move some 1' 4 x 8 plywood. The tiny, hard wheels would hang up on *everything*. A huge disappointment. --Winston

Ever seen a pool table dolly? So, what you want is the mini version. A 5 inch wide foot plate, and a 6 inch wide track between two about 3" diameter polyurethane wheel, which are dirt cheap in the industrial channels, as you know. The handle goes to the left or right side, not down the middle. That is the key. You walk up to the table edge with the dolly right next to the center of the table (slight offset). Lift up the table high enough to clear the wheel and place it down on the dolly foot plate. Pry back the guide/handle with a thumb on the table's top edge, Which jacks the entire load off the floor (parallel), and start walking slowly beside your payload longways. It is like a standard two wheel dolly, but it is turned 90 degrees. Sorry, one table at a time. Walk slowly, turn slowly and deliberately examine turns BEFORE you get to them. Not for use on stairs either. Real pool table dollies cradle the entire table on the long ends, and the wheels are bigger, so it can actually *do* stairs. Other solution. Get the spirited grandson to grab them with one in each hand and transport them to the place where you need them. Live robots are far better, and more fun sometimes too.

Needs a bigger foot though. Best value I've seen yet. http://www.handtrucks.com/dollies/wood-dollies/ezrollmovingdollywithrubbercaps.cfm#tabs That one is only $36 where some folks want way more, and Home Depot and the like want way less, like $13 or something. These, however, have rubber pad faces. I do not know how durable it is, but it looks pretty cool. Worth getting one to see. Worth $36? Idunno. Here is one of the HD versions, completely different style, for big loads like pool tables: http://www.happcontrols.com/material_handling/33120800.htm |
