Dollies

Dollies FAQ

• Are plastic deck dollies better than wood?

  Plastic decks are easy to clean and resist moisture, making them a strong choice for janitorial, foodservice, and healthcare areas. Wood decks can be cost-effective and rigid for dry environments; choose based on cleaning needs and impact exposure.

• Can I order dollies in bulk for multiple locations?

  Yes. Bulk ordering helps standardize equipment across sites, simplifies reordering, and can reduce freight and downtime. If you share your use case and quantities, support can help you select consistent specs.

• Do I need swivel casters on all four corners?

  Four swivels maximize maneuverability in tight spaces, but can feel less stable on long straight runs. A mix of swivel and rigid casters can improve tracking while still allowing controlled turns.

• What capacity dolly should I buy for commercial use?

  Choose a load rating that exceeds your heaviest typical load with a safety margin. If loads vary, standardize on a higher-capacity model to reduce caster wear and improve stability.

• Which caster type is best for tile or finished floors?

  Softer tread casters are typically better for tile, VCT, and other finished floors because they reduce noise and help prevent scuffing. Confirm wheel material and floor compatibility before ordering.
