Pallet Dollies

How do I choose between roller-style and solid-deck pallet dollies?

Use roller-style dollies for fast loading and unloading on flat floors and high-turnover environments where speed matters. Choose solid-deck models for uneven, unstable, or mixed loads that need full-surface support and maximum stability.

What caster type is best for uneven or smooth flooring?

On smooth floors like sealed concrete or tile, non-marking swivel casters provides the best control and mobility. For uneven or rough surfaces, larger rigid casters or pneumatic wheels help maintain traction, absorb vibration, and prevent tipping.

Are adjustable-height dollies worth the investment for ergonomics?

Yes. Adjustable-height pallet dollies reduce bending and overreaching, which can lower fatigue and injury risk in environments with frequent loading, assembly, or picking tasks.

What safety features should I look for in a pallet dolly?

Look for floor locks or brake-equipped casters and clearly labeled load capacities. These features help prevent unintentional rolling and overloads that could lead to tip-overs or strain-related injuries.

What types of pallet dollies are available?

• Roller-style dollies are designed for smooth, efficient pallet movement and quick transfers on flat warehouse floors, making them ideal for high-throughput operations. Solid-deck dollies provide a continuous deck surface that enhances stability and supports uneven or varying pallet sizes. Open-deck dollies feature a lightweight, open construction that allows for airflow and easy cleaning, which makes them well-suited for food and beverage environments.
• Adjustable-height dollies offer ergonomic flexibility by reducing lifting strain and accommodating multiple pallet heights and workflows.
• Floor-lock dollies incorporate locking mechanisms that secure the dolly in place, making them a strong choice for safety-sensitive or semi-stationary operations.
