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 framework includes axially spaced apart stands each including a front extremity and a rear extremity extending upright between an upper end and a lower end, the front extremities, the back extremities, the upper ends, and the lower ends defining the framework's front section, rear section, top, and ground-engaging bottom, respectively, and an axle and a rung intermediate the top and the bottom, the axle between the front section and the rear section and coupled between the stands and the rung coupled between the back extremities. A load-supporting roller carried by the axle intermediate the top and the bottom between the front section and the rear section is above the rung and configured to rotate. The framework defines a load-reception area open to the roller between the stands along the rear section from the rung to the top and along the front section from the top to below the roller.

An appliance dolly includes a frame comprising a top end, a bottom end, a front end, and a back end. A platform is attached to the front end of the frame at the bottom end of the frame. A plate that is configured to engage with an appliance package between a box of the appliance package and a lid of the appliance package is disposed on the frame above the platform. The plate is movable between an engaged position between the box and the lid and a disengaged position where the plate is spaced apart from the box and the lid.

A trolley configured for use to carry folding tables of a variety of sizes. The trolley includes a loading end, a trolley frame, and an extension gate adjustably connected to the trolley frame so as to be adjustable relative to the loading end of the trolley in a length direction of the trolley. The extension gate includes an elongate member slidingly disposed on the trolley frame and a rotatable portion that is foldable relative to the elongate member and lockable in an upright position by a lock. The rotatable portion may be positioned in an extended position from the loading end of the trolley, in a retracted position adjacent the loading end of the trolley, and in positions that are intermediate to the extended position and the retracted position. The elongate member may slide in a first direction to extend the rotatable portion away from the loading end of the trolley and in a second direction to retract the rotatable portion toward the loading end of the trolley.

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.

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.
