Trucks & Dollies

Trucks & Dollies: Easy and Robust Transportation

Trucks are L-shaped commercial transportation equipment with two wheels and a robust platform to carry items, while the vertical handles enable easy movement by tilting the truck backward and moving. Hand trucks’ low-loading platform enables the operator to slide beneath the items so that you do not have to lift and place them. They are ideal for transporting large, heavy items such as crates, machines, appliances, drums, and large boxes. While stacking, smaller items can easily be moved in stainless steel construction.

Dollies are strong platforms with four wheels. They provide secure and stable transportation of large and bulky items while facilitating movement by pushing forward. They are made from high-quality plastic or sturdy metal to ensure durability and higher carrying capacity. Commercial dollies are raised platforms; thus, the items must be lifted from the ground and placed manually or with a lift.
