Moving Supplies Equipment – Dollies Aren't Just for Children
from:You've securely packed all of your belongings into boxes and totes, taped or stretch wrapped dresser drawers and refrigerator doors, and clearly marked every box with its parent room and contents. Now is the time to load the boxes and furniture into the truck without straining too many muscles.
To do that, you'll need to buy or rent moving supplies equipment made specifically for the task. Companies that primarily deal in moving supplies equipment offer a large assortment for anything customers need to lift. The following is some information on a specific type of equipment used by professional and home movers.
The first, and often used, kind of moving supplies equipment is a contraption known as a dolly. Dollies are made from metal, heavy plastic, or wooden frames with wheels that help transport heavy or bulky items from one destination to another. They can be as simple as a square frame set on four wheels, to a dolly resembling a ladder with a bottom platform on two large wheels. The second type of dolly, also called appliance dollies, includes either two bar handles at the top, or one long handle running down the back. Many Appliance dollies include safety straps for the user to wrap around and strap a refrigerator, or other appliance to the dolly. In most cases, dollies allow one to two people to move a heavy object or appliance that otherwise would require more people to handle.
Movers will even find a dolly made just for transporting pianos. Move a Grand Piano with a Grand Piano dolly. This simple designed metal equipment has three adjustable legs on wheels. Swivel sockets tighten around the piano's feet to hold it secure during moving.
An upright piano dolly may look like a simplistic design, but it works great for moving pianos with a fifteen inch width and over a fifty two inch length. It's rectangular shape helps to secure flat based upright pianos.
Though not exactly a dolly, piano skid boards also help in moving upright pianos. These are often made from hardwood in a long rectangular pattern. They include a thick bottom platform and back handles, with some models covered in carpeting to keep your piano from scratches.
No matter which type of dolly you purchase it's a good idea to buy, or make a ramp or loading plate to make it easier to go down stairs and up into the moving van. Commercial movers list these in the moving supplies equipment of their catalogs.
For your move, consider buying or renting a dolly as part of your moving supplies equipment usage to help save time, money, and backaches.
