Title: Machine movers
Post by: MoonDawg on July 08, 2013, 09:23:18 am
          I have 4 different 2-wheel dollies so I was not looking for anymore but these somehow found me on C/L.

          They strap onto each side of a machine and a worm gear in each lifts the platform to well over a foot in height.

          To cinch and lift this USS-64 took less than 30 seconds and the 6" swivel casters make it so easy to move a child could do it.

          I was reluctant to spend the $200.00 on these, but then figured it would be a lot cheaper than a doctors visit!  :biggrin:

Those are cool!   I've seen the harness version of those, where two people play the part of the dollies.  The guys who delivered my refrigerator had a set.  Pretty cool, but I like yours better.  The only advantage to the human-version was going up and down steps.   :laugh:

I have 2 dollies that go down the steps.....

My 23 and 22 year old nephews.

What I used to do is rent the appliance dolly from Home Depot, but then would rush back to return it (4hr rental) or rent it for 24 hrs if I needed it on pick up.  Then I thought it would just be cheaper to simply BUY it and the same cost of a 4 - 24 hr rental!
