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.
APPLIANCE DOLLY
The present disclosure is directed to a hot water heater dolly that allows a user to move and place a hot water heater onto a platform or stand for installation. In embodiments, a hot water heater could be leaned onto a dolly, wheeled into place, and then stood upright from the dolly onto a platform. This solves the problem of deadlifting a water heater onto a platform or stand during installation.
APPLIANCE DOLLY WITH PACKAGING INTERFACE
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.
Hand truck for irregular objects
A hand truck for moving an irregularly shaped object includes a rack alternately positionable between first and second use positions. In the first use position two support arms extend forwardly from the frame and in the second use position a substantially planar platform extends forwardly from the frame. The rack is adjustably positionable along the length of the frame. In embodiments, the support arms are positionable to vary the width therebetween. In other embodiments, a pivoting mechanism allows the rack to be readily positioned between the first and second use positions.
Toilet lift apparatus
A toilet lift apparatus for removing and installing toilets includes a base having a left side slidably engageable with a right side. An attachment bar is coupled to the base. A pair of supports is coupled to the base and a cantilever is coupled to the pair of supports. The cantilever selectively engages with a toilet and pivots on the pair of supports to lift and alternatively lower the toilet. A ratchet assembly is coupled to the cantilever to pull in, or alternatively push out, each of the left arm and the right arm. A latch bar is coupled to the ratchet assembly and extends down past the attachment bar. The latch bar has a plurality of hooks with each of the plurality of hooks being selectively engageable with the attachment bar.
EXTENSION GATE FOR TROLLEY
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.
Toilet Lift Apparatus
A toilet lift apparatus for removing and installing toilets includes a base having a left side slidably engageable with a right side. An attachment bar is coupled to the base. A pair of supports is coupled to the base and a cantilever is coupled to the pair of supports. The cantilever selectively engages with a toilet and pivots on the pair of supports to lift and alternatively lower the toilet. A ratchet assembly is coupled to the cantilever to pull in, or alternatively push out, each of the left arm and the right arm. A latch bar is coupled to the ratchet assembly and extends down past the attachment bar. The latch bar has a plurality of hooks with each of the plurality of hooks being selectively engageable with the attachment bar.
LARGE CARGO DOLLY
A large cargo dolly has a first central tube and a cross bar integral with and perpendicular to the first central tube. The cross bar has a hollow first end and a hollow second end. Further, the large cargo dolly has a first moveable tube having a circumference that is smaller than a circumference of the cross bar, and the first moveable tube moveably is coupled within the hollow first end of the cross bar and fixedly coupled to a first wheel. The first moveable tube is adjustable to fit a size of cargo placed on the first central tube and the cross bar, and the first wheel is configured to automatically adjust when the first moveable tube is adjusted. The large cargo dolly also has a second moveable tube having a circumference that is smaller than the circumference of the cross bar, and the second moveable tube is moveably coupled within the hollow second end of the cross bar and fixedly coupled to a second wheel. Furthermore, the second moveable tube is adjustable to fit the size of the cargo placed on the first central tube and the cross bar, and the first wheel is configured to automatically adjust when the second moveable tube is adjusted.

Water heater hand trucks
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.
