Heavy-duty three-wheel dollies for moving furniture, appliances, safes, and equipment in tight spaces and around corners. The three-wheel triangle design gives maneuverability that 4-wheel dollies can't match — the dolly pivots on the front wheel for tight turns. 600 to 1,400 lb capacity. Common configurations for piano, appliance, safe, and HVAC moving. Stocked at our Mansfield, TX facility.
Three-wheel dollies use a triangle layout — typically 2 rear swivel/rigid wheels and 1 front pivot wheel. Maneuverability advantage over 4-wheel: the dolly turns on the front wheel like a wheelbarrow, much tighter radius. Trade-off: slightly less stability under heavy loads vs 4-wheel.
Three-wheel for moving objects through doorways, around corners, up and down ramps where maneuverability matters. Four-wheel for general flat moves where stability and even weight distribution matter more.
Loaded weight + 25 percent headroom. 600 lb capacity covers most appliances and furniture. 1,000-1,400 lb for safes, HVAC equipment, and heavy machinery.
Polyurethane for indoor smooth floors. Pneumatic for outdoor and threshold crossing. Hard rubber for general commercial use.
Piano dollies have padded decks. Appliance dollies have notched cradles. Safe dollies have low-profile decks for tight clearance. Match the dolly type to what you're moving.

A dolly with three wheels in a triangle layout: typically 2 wheels at the rear, 1 pivot wheel at the front. The single front wheel acts as a pivot for tight turns, giving better maneuverability than 4-wheel dollies through doorways and corners.
Maneuverability. Three-wheel dollies turn on the front wheel like a wheelbarrow, giving a much tighter turn radius. Critical for moving objects through narrow doorways, around tight corners, and up and down ramps.
Yes for typical loads. The triangle layout is geometrically stable on flat ground. On uneven floors or with off-center loads, 4-wheel dollies are more stable. For piano, appliance, and most furniture moving, 3-wheel is the better choice.
Per-dolly capacity ranges from 600 lb (standard appliance dolly) up to 1,400 lb (heavy-duty piano or safe dolly). Confirm rating exceeds your heaviest load + 25 percent headroom.
Three-wheel dollies are not designed for stairs. They work on flat surfaces and ramps. For stair-climbing, you need a dedicated stair-climbing hand truck with stair glides or motorized assist.
Piano dollies have padded decks to protect piano cabinets and longer dollies for vertical pianos. Appliance dollies have notched cradles that hold the appliance vertical and straps to secure it. Different applications.
