Solid Top Oak Dollies · 720 to 1,000 lb per Dolly

This collection holds Solid Top Oak Dollies casters with rubber wheels, built for heavy equipment, dies, molds, and plant carts that move very heavy loads. Casters in this collection range from 720 to 3,750 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 30 up to 40 inches in diameter. The collection includes swivel models. Kingpinless swivels hold up better under shock and repeat loads. Rubber wheels are quiet, cushion the load, and protect floors. Soft rubber or TPR is the better pick when the floor has chips or grit. Match plate size, bolt pattern, and overall height before you order. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Confirm the load rating printed on the title before you order. Measure the old wheel or caster before you buy. Check the floor type and the heaviest load the cart will carry before you choose. Rubber aisle: rubber casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.

Choosing a solid top dolly

  • Weight: add up the load and keep it under the dolly rating. The rating is the combined total of the 4 casters, so an off-center load puts more on the casters under it. Center the load on the deck.
  • Wheel size: bigger wheels roll easier over thresholds, cords and expansion joints, and on these decks they also carry a higher rating. 3 in wheels keep the deck lowest.
  • Deck size: 30 x 18 in fits most cabinets, appliances and stacked boxes. 40 x 18 in gives more length for dressers, long cases and doors laid flat.
  • Floor: the thermo rubber and non-marking wheels here are made for finished indoor floors. For gravel or grass, see the pneumatic models on hot tub dollies.

Solid top oak dolly questions

How much weight can a solid top oak dolly hold?

The 30 x 18 in dollies are rated 720 lb on 3 in wheels, 900 lb on 3-1/2 in, 960 lb on 4 in and 1,000 lb on 5 in. The 40 x 18 in RoverMax dollies are rated 1,000 lb. Each rating is per dolly, the combined rating of its 4 casters.

Is the rating per caster or per dolly?

Per dolly. It is the combined rating of the 4 casters under the deck. Keep the full load, including any packaging, under that number.

Why pick a solid deck over an H-frame?

A solid deck supports the whole base of the load, so small, uneven or boxed items do not drop through or rock on the rails.

Are some decks available with rubber strips?

Yes. Several 30 x 18 in models come with non-skid rubber strips on the deck, and the RoverMax StrapMate versions add a strap slot.
