Dollies – Heavy-Duty Transport Solutions for Any Workplace

Streamline manual handling and move heavy loads safely with our durable range of dollies, designed for fast, low-effort transport in busy Australian workplaces.

From warehouses and factories to offices, schools, and commercial kitchens, dollies provide a simple but highly effective way to move furniture, stock, crates, and equipment with minimal physical strain.

Whether you need a compact platform dolly for tight spaces, a furniture dolly for moving large items, or a custom dolly for specialised tasks, we’ve got the right solution for your workplace.

Built tough for Australian conditions, our dollies are made to last – improving productivity, reducing manual handling injuries, and saving time on repetitive lifting and shifting.

 

Why Choose a Dolly?

A dolly is a flat, wheeled platform designed to help you move bulky, heavy, or awkward items across short distances.

Compact and easy to manoeuvre, dollies take the strain out of lifting and are used across countless industries for efficient load movement.

Whether you’re:

  • Shifting boxes in a warehouse

  • Moving furniture during an office fit-out

  • Transporting stock in retail

  • Carrying food crates in hospitality

  • Or relocating equipment in a school or healthcare setting

A dolly makes the job faster, safer, and far less physically demanding.

 

Key Benefits

Increase Efficiency

Move more in fewer trips. Dollies allow quick and effortless transport of heavy items – cutting down loading times and improving task flow.

Reduce Manual Handling Risks

Minimise bending, lifting, and carrying with low-profile dollies that roll smoothly across the floor. They support WHS compliance by reducing the physical load on workers.

Compact & Space-Saving

Unlike large trolleys or carts, dollies have a low-profile design and a small footprint – ideal for storage in tight areas and workplaces with limited space.

Built for Tough Environments

Our dollies are constructed from heavy-duty materials like steel, timber, or reinforced plastic, with high load capacities to suit industrial and commercial applications.

Versatile Applications

Used in warehousing, removalist services, retail stockrooms, hotels, kitchens, schools, and more – dollies are a go-to solution for mobile handling needs.

 

Popular Types of Dollies for Sale

We stock a wide variety of dollies designed to meet the demands of different jobs and environments. Below are the most common types available:

1. Furniture Dollies

Flat timber or steel-framed platforms with carpeted tops to protect furniture surfaces. Ideal for moving desks, filing cabinets, sofas, or bulky items during fitouts or removals.

2. Platform Dollies

Heavy-duty rectangular platforms with smooth or anti-slip surfaces. Perfect for transporting crates, cartons, and equipment. Available in plastic, metal, or timber finishes.

3. Plastic Dollies with Interlocking Design

Lightweight, water-resistant, and hygienic. Many models feature interlocking edges, allowing multiple dollies to connect together for larger loads. Common in food service and hospitality.

4. Drum Dollies

Circular or cradle-style dollies designed specifically for safely moving large drums or barrels. Equipped with heavy-duty castors for smooth transport of liquid or chemical containers.

5. Custom or Modular Dollies

How to Choose the Right Dolly

Choosing the right dolly ensures safety, efficiency, and long-term durability. Here are the main factors to consider when purchasing:

Load Capacity

Most dollies support between 150kg to 500kg – with some heavy-duty models rated for over 1,000kg. Always match the dolly’s load rating to the weight of the items you’ll be moving.

Castor Type

Different wheels suit different floors:

  • Rubber Castors: Quiet and non-marking – ideal for indoor use on tiles or polished floors

  • Polyurethane Castors: Durable, smooth-rolling, and resistant to oils/chemicals

  • Pneumatic Castors: Handle uneven surfaces, bumps, or outdoor environments

Platform Size & Height

Ensure the dolly is large enough to support your typical loads. Low-profile dollies (under 200mm high) are easier to load and fit under furniture or machines.

Material

  • Plastic: Lightweight, water-resistant, and ideal for food, hygiene, or light-duty use

  • Timber: Common for furniture dollies – offers grip and protection for delicate items

  • Steel: High load rating, robust, and best for industrial or warehouse settings

Optional Features

Look for extras like corner buffers (to protect walls), non-slip surfaces, interlocking edges, or handle attachments for easier control.

 

Workplace Safety Tips When Using Dollies

While dollies reduce the need for lifting, proper use is essential for safe operation. Follow these workplace best practices:

  • Never exceed the dolly’s rated capacity

  • Secure the load to prevent slipping or tipping during transport

  • Avoid rough or uneven surfaces unless using off-road or pneumatic wheels

  • Push the dolly from behind rather than pulling

  • Keep pathways clear and free of debris

  • Inspect wheels regularly for damage or wear

  • Use ramps or mechanical aids when moving items over height changes

 

Applications Across Industries

Dollies are used across a wide variety of sectors, from logistics to education. Here are just a few examples of how they improve handling efficiency:

Warehousing & Logistics

Move cartons, parts bins, and heavy stock with ease between racking areas, loading docks, or packing stations.

Offices & Education

Assist in furniture rearrangement, IT equipment relocation, or supply deliveries without damaging flooring or overloading staff.

Removalists & Fit-Out Contractors

Ideal for moving furniture, appliances, and equipment during office fit-outs, school upgrades, or commercial relocations.

Retail & Stockrooms

Quickly shift restocking loads, visual merchandising materials, or seasonal displays across retail floors.

Hospitality & Commercial Kitchens

Transport crates of produce, food containers, or dish racks from storage to prep areas – especially with washable plastic dollies.

Healthcare & Aged Care

Used to move medical equipment, storage containers, and supplies in tight corridors with minimal noise or disruption.
