Dollies

What are Dollies?

Dollies are portable platforms mounted on castors, used to move heavy and awkward goods around the worksite quickly and easily.  With weight capacities ranging from 100kg to 500kg, there are dollies available in our range to suit any industrial or commercial requirement.

What are the benefits of using Dollies?

The primary benefit of using dollies is health and safety – reducing the likelihood of manual handling injuries such as strains makes the workplace a far safer environment.

The swivel castors make it possible to turn through a full circle almost in place, meaning that dollies are supremely manoeuvrable and perfect for factories and warehouses where goods might need to be closely positioned.

Additional benefits are:

• Improved efficiency – moving a lot of goods around the site can be made quicker and easier with a dolly, reducing operator tiredness and allowing greater quantities of goods to be moved in a single trip.
• Fewer damaged goods – if moving a particularly awkward package, using a dolly can help prevent drops and collisions, keeping the item or goods in pristine condition.  Carpeted dollies also protect the load from scratches and add a layer of cushioning and support.
• Simple but strong design – all our dollies are designed for industrial use, are easy to keep clean and require almost no maintenance.
• Compact and easy to store when not in use.

Which Dollies are in the First Mat range?

Our range of dollies includes simple plastic construction for lighter weights, wooden platforms for heavier loads, and metal platform models for loads up to a massive 500kg.

Our modular dollies can be interconnected to provide a larger loading platform, for sites where a variety of load sizes and shapes might be common.

We also have dollies designed specifically for drums (with or without handles), dollies capable of storing and moving up to eight tyres, as well as carpeted models for when a load needs a little more care and attention (such as furniture).

Our Euro container dollies are built for use with Euro containers, and are available with or without containers of various sizes included. We also have dollies designed for carrying 600mm x 400mm containers, with load capacities of 250kg or 300kg.

All our dollies are constructed from strong and reliable materials with longevity in mind.
