What is an appliance dolly?
A strapped, stair-climbing hand truck for moving heavy appliances safely — and protecting floors and backs.
Refrigerators and ranges routinely weigh 250 to 400 pounds. An appliance dolly has a ratcheting strap to secure the load and often stair-climbing belts. Beyond the obvious injury risk, dragging appliances without one damages flooring and can bend the machine’s own frame. For over-the-range microwave work, a helper matters more than any tool — those are genuinely two-person installs.
