A lift dolly assembly includes a lift dolly having a base plate, a handle, and a frame. The dolly includes one or more wheels to permit the frame and the base plate to carry an object or load by tilting the dolly backwards. The assembly also includes a track, a lift mechanism, and a lift plate. These components are configured to work in communication with the dolly to support and allow the elevating and orienting of an object or load. In general operation, an object is located on a base plate 105 and is secured to a lift plate. The object may then be selectively lifted and oriented to a non-vertical orientation to allow the base of the object to extend fully outward beyond the base plate.

An appliance dolly has a platform with a caster wheel and a height adjustable stand disposed at each under side corner. At each upper side corner are a plurality of adjustable stays. The stays are configurable to retain the stands of an appliance which rests upon the stand and dolly.

A dolly includes a first skate, a second skate, and a rod connected to the skates. The first skate is connected to a plurality of wheels and has a receiving region. The second skate is connected to a plurality of wheels and has a receiving region. The second skate includes an outer lateral surface having an aperture. The rod is connected to the first skate and the second skate via the respective receiving regions of the respective skates. The rod is configured to extend through the aperture such that a portion of the rod extends outwardly from the outer lateral surface of the second skate.

A hand truck for moving water heaters and toilets has a fixed frame with one or more fulcrum wheels on a rear side, at least one floor stabilizing arm coupled to and extending from a front side, at least one outrigger support beam extending from the rear of the fixed frame, the at least one outrigger support beam further comprising a wheel at a distal end; and an extendable frame having a vertical beam, a horizontal beam coupled to the top of the vertical beam, and at least one lifting arm extending perpendicularly to the horizontal beam; the extendable frame vertically adjustable in relation to the fixed frame.

Disclosed herein are hand trucks for installing and removing water heaters. The disclosed water heater hand trucks enable a single person to lift the water heater onto a platform and to keep the water heater above the water heater pan during installation and removal. The disclosed hand trucks generally include a main platform and a wheel frame. A water heater is strapped to the main platform which has curved legs at the bottom with rubber landing feet. This design is used to keep the water heater above a water heater pan while lifting the water heater into position. This avoids crushing the pan with the water heater. The handles at the upper section of the main platform have adjustable positions. These handles can be opened up to an outward position to provide leverage, which can be advantageous when access to the platform is limited from a frontal approach.

A hand truck for moving water heaters and toilets has a fixed frame with one or more fulcrum wheels on a rear side, at least one floor stabilizing arm coupled to and extending from a front side, at least one outrigger support beam extending from the rear of the fixed frame, the at least one outrigger support beam further comprising a wheel at a distal end; and an extendable frame having a vertical beam, a horizontal beam coupled to the top of the vertical beam, and at least one lifting arm extending perpendicularly to the horizontal beam; the extendable frame vertically adjustable in relation to the fixed frame.

An apparatus comprises an object (1) and a plurality of roller units (5A-5D) on said object, each roller unit comprising at least one roller element (13) and being switchable between a mobile mode in which the apparatus is moveable across a surface on which said apparatus is positioned in use by rolling on said roller elements, and an immobile mode in which movement of the apparatus across a said surface is inhibited. The roller units (5A-5D) are configured such that manual depression of the object towards a said surface causes switching of at least one roller unit between the mobile and immobile modes.

A kitchen caddy having an omnidirectional wheel system is provided. The omnidirectional wheel system enables unrestricted rotation and movement along a supporting surface. The kitchen caddy also provides a movement stabilizer operatively associated with the underside to, if desired, reduce mobility.

The present invention relates to a hot water lifting system, comprising a dolly having a dolly base, dolly support having one or more dolly support wheel positionable between a closed position and a deployed position, a multi-position axle guide, a lifting mechanism, one or more track adapted to interface with cradle wheels to permit the cradle wheels to move along the one or more track; a cradle adapted to movably interface with the dolly base and including cradle wheels adapted to interface with the one or more track, a foot mechanism having rotatable feet and means for rotating the rotatable feet, a means for securing the foot mechanism in a lifting position, a strap adapted to wrap around the cylinder, a cradle hold adapted to operably interface with the lifting mechanism latch, and vertical and angled supports adapted to extend the angled support forward of the cradle.
