Shepherd Hardware Move-It 9442 12-Inch Steel Tri-Dolly, 300-lb Load Capacity, Black

I needed a tri-dolly that had a center indentation big enough to hold the 3-1/2” legs of a swing frame. Most tri-dollies are not big enough for these, so I was happy to find these, even though insufficient dimensional information was provided. They work perfectly for my use, weight capacity of four would be 1200 lbs, I’m not coming anywhere close to that, so I can’t testify to their ability to handle weight close to their rated capacity. These will be useful for moving other heavy items around, and at the price they’re a real deal!

Removing and installing my 250 pound has always been a chore. Front wheels will turn but back wheels are fixed. It was always push, pull, shift until done. I reinstalled my deck using this dolly under the back wheels and it was slide in smooth. I wish I had thought of this before.

I purchased these to permanently place my washing machine and dryer on them so that I’d be able to easily move my washing machine and dryer away from the wall that they’re on in order to get behind them by myself. Unfortunately because these do not have any type of brakes on them, they will not work for my purpose because they and the W/D that would be on them would roll around on their own whenever the W/D was going to be in use. HOWEVER, these ARE EXTREMELY HEAVY DUTY AND OF GREAT QUALITY and would have absolutely no problem whatsoever being able to hold the weight of a heavy appliance that’s primarily STATIONARY on them full-time. They would also obviously work great when moving any large item with them. But for any large item that has the potential to inadvertently move on it’s own while permanently on them for whatever reason…W/D, heavy foot traffic nearby, uneven flooring/slope…you won’t be able to keep that item on these permanently without brakes. Locking brakes on these would even also add an extra layer of security for the item stored on it itself, and as well as for anyone that might happen to ever be around the item that’s stored on it. PLEASE MAKE SOME WITH LOCKING BRAKES ON THEM!!

These little guys are well made and quite sturdy. If used for what they are made for then NO ONE should be having any problems, You cannot move a BOAT with these, so common sense must take some precedent here. Although, I cannot use them for what I wanted to use them for, (so my adult Son just told me) I will try my plan when he is NOT home and see if they will work. These have other uses, and I did buy 2. My use for these was to be used under the bottom of a heavy chrome tall stationery garment rack on tiled floors. These do roll easily over the tile with nothing on them, but the heavy garment rack may pose a tipping problem. I have to play with it to find out. I only have to move the garment rack a few times a year, and I know to be careful. So after I play, I will report back on the Move-it's. I did get the 12" and the chrome base on the rack is 12" X 15". Manipulating the triangles to fit will be my trick to play with.EDIT: Ok the Son left...and I played...and HE was RIGHT. Not gonna work the way I thought they would. So I built a wood n wheeled platform for the heavy chrome garment rack. Today I tried to figure out another use...my Large 27lb Computer Stack. Both of the 12" wiggled around held my Stack just fine...and rolls nice on the laminated floor. But the tower is 18" tall so the tip issue is still a concern. Yes can buy a pre-made under desk type, but I will build my own that will hold it without tipping issues. I still love these 12" Move-It's...Very Sturdy little guys.

Use these to move heavy large flower pots on our patio and heavy furniture insideWe have small patio with large flower post and these items allow us to move around for cleaning, adjusting furniture and moving away from air conditioner exhaust in summer.Large size works well for big pots. Smaller size for furniture. Because they are Tri wheeled must use size to fit job. Otherwise can be unstable.

This steel tri dolly is supposed to hold 200 lbs, but it bent under the weight. It works for lighter items, but I wouldn’t trust it for anything heavy. Decent for small jobs, but not as durable as expected.

A small unit but it works great. Although it is strong enough to support furniture that is heavy, I just use it to roll things that are under 100 pounds across my apartment. It can hold a lot more weight than that. The unit came ready to go. No assembly required which is very important for me. I just keep it around for when I have to move small heavy things. I do not think the surface area is large enough to move refrigerators or couches. Not that it's not strong enough, it is, but I would use either several of them or something with a greater area space. But I really like the unit and I would recommend it. Just be aware of the diameter and what you are trying to move. I also use it for when something is delivered that is too heavy for me to carry down the hallway of my apartment building. It is great for that as well.

This is not a fair product rating. The product is great. I am complaining about the delivery method. I assume it was USPS. We have a standard size metal mail box at the end of our driveway and somehow the mail carrier found a way to jam this package in there instead of bringing it to our front door. It took me several minutes to wiggle and pull it out and the mail box has sustained some damage. Amazon should be more careful about using USPS to deliver this product.
