Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best dolly for moving furniture?
For finished furniture, carpeted dollies provide the best protection against scratches and scuffs. For heavier items such as appliances and machinery, rubber-top dollies offer improved grip and stability.
Can moving dollies be used on stairs?
Standard furniture dollies are designed for flat surfaces only. For stair applications, use an appliance hand truck equipped with stair climbers, tracks, or stair glides.
Do furniture dollies damage floors?
Most moving dollies feature non-marking casters designed to minimize floor damage. Always inspect wheels for debris before use and exercise caution on delicate flooring surfaces.
How many dollies do I need for large furniture?
The number of dollies required depends on the size and weight of the item. Large furniture pieces may require multiple dollies positioned under each corner for maximum stability and control.
