A furniture dolly is a flat platform on wheels designed to help move heavy items, such as furniture or appliances, with ease. Typically made of wood or metal, dollies come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different loads. They often feature a low profile, making it easier to load and unload items. Using a furniture dolly can reduce the risk of injury and damage during moving. By distributing weight evenly, it allows a single person to transport bulky items without straining their back. Many dollies also have straps or tie-downs to secure the load during transport, ensuring safety and stability.
