How to Choose a Safe or Appliance Dolly

1. Weight Capacity Match

Per-dolly capacity must exceed appliance/safe weight + 25 percent headroom. Most residential refrigerators weigh 250-350 lb; commercial refrigerators 400-800 lb; safes 500-2,000 lb. The 1,600 lb dolly covers most appliance and small safe moves.

2. Cradle Design

Notched cradle is critical — holds the appliance vertical and prevents tipping during the move. Standard appliance dollies have a curved cradle profile. Safe dollies have a flatter, wider cradle.

3. Tie-Down Straps

Always use the tie-down straps when moving. Even small movements (tipping forward, backward, side-to-side) can shift the load and cause injury. Straps go around the appliance and secure to the dolly frame.

4. Wheel Type

Pneumatic wheels for outdoor and rough terrain. Solid rubber for indoor smooth floors with shock absorption. Both work; pneumatic offers smoother ride.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I move with a safe and appliance dolly?

Designed for upright heavy equipment: safes, vending machines, refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, water heaters, and HVAC equipment. The notched cradle and tie-down straps hold the equipment vertical during the move.

What's the weight capacity?

1,600 lb capacity. Covers most residential and small commercial appliances and safes. For heavier moves over 1,600 lb, contact us for industrial-spec options.

Are the straps included?

Yes — tie-down straps are included with the dolly. Use them on every move to prevent the load from shifting.

Can one person operate this?

Yes for loads under 800 lb. For 800-1,600 lb loads, use a second operator for safety. The dolly handles the weight but tipping and steering benefit from two people on heavy loads.

How heavy is the dolly itself?

About 60-80 lb empty. Heavy enough to provide stability but light enough for one person to maneuver when empty.

What wheel size does this use?

Most safe/appliance dollies use 10-inch wheels (pneumatic or solid rubber) for ground clearance over thresholds, dock plates, and uneven concrete.

How fast does it ship?

Ships via FedEx Ground in 1-3 business days from our Mansfield, TX facility. Cutoff 2pm Central.
