Spread out dollies equally to divide weight equally
|
|
| Employed dollies: All Positions: Rotating dollies |
|
| Consideration: Space out rotating dollies at equal distance so each dolly carries the same weight. This utilizes the max capacity of each dolly. |

On longer loads simulate 3-point support to keep load from rocking
|
|
| Employed dollies: All Positions: Rotating dollies |
|
| Consideration: The load could rock with dollies in each of the 4 corners. Therefore, place the front two dollies as close together as possible to simulate a 3-point support system for the safest transport. |
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
For special application only: 4-point support system for loads on legs or on C-channels
|
|
| Employed dollies: All Positions: Rotating dollies |
|
Consideration: Use only if 3-point support is not possible, for loads with legs or C-channel.
Load can rock when travelling over uneven surface resulting in: (1) A shift of weight, (2) loss of contact with one dolly, (3) possibly overloading other dolly, and (4) slipping of dolly out from underneath. |

Mix and Match - rotating dollies with steerable transport dollies for short radius turns
|
|
| Employed dollies: Position A & C: Steerable transport dolly;
Position G & I: Rotating dollies |
|
| Consideration: Ideal for short radius turns. Steer or tow around corner and swing the back end around for shorter turning radius. |
