Abstract
Stackable dollies that each include a platform component having a plurality of indentations that is structured to receive wheel components of other dollies are provided. Stackable dolly systems and related methods are also provided.
Claims16
A stackable dolly, comprising:
- a platform component having first and second surfaces and at least first and second pluralities of aligned indentations, which first plurality of aligned indentations is disposed at least in the first surface, which second plurality of aligned indentations is disposed at least in the second surface, and which platform component is structured to support at least one object on the second surface;
- and,
- a plurality of wheel components operably connected to the first surface of the platform component, wherein the first and second pluralities of aligned indentations are structured to receive at least portions of wheel components disposed on at least one other stackable dolly.
A stackable dolly system, comprising a plurality of stackable dollies, each stackable dolly comprising:
- a platform component having first and second surfaces, and at least first and second pluralities of aligned indentations, which first plurality of aligned indentations is disposed at least in the first surface and which second plurality of aligned indentations is disposed at least in the second surface;
- and
- a plurality of wheel components operably connected to the first surface, wherein the first or second pluralities of aligned indentations of at least a first of the stackable dollies receives at least portions of the wheel components disposed on at least a second of the stackable dollies when the first and second stackable dollies are stacked together.
A method of moving an object, the method comprising:
- providing at least one stackable dolly comprising:
- a platform component having first and second surfaces and at least first and second pluralities of aligned indentations, which first plurality of aligned indentations is disposed at least in the first surface, which second plurality of aligned indentations is disposed at least in the second surface, and which platform component is structured to support at least one object on the second surface;
- and
- a plurality of wheel components operably connected to the first surface, wherein the first and second pluralities of aligned indentations are structured to receive at least portions of wheel components disposed on at least one other stackable dolly;
- placing one or more objects on the second surface of the stackable dolly, and,
- moving the stackable dolly, thereby moving the object.

A method of stacking stackable dollies, the method comprising:
- providing a plurality of stackable dollies, each stackable dolly comprising:
- a platform component having first and second surfaces, and at least first and second pluralities of aligned indentations, which first plurality of aligned indentations is disposed at least in the first surface and which second plurality of aligned indentations is disposed at least in the second surface;
- and
- a plurality of wheel components operably connected to the first surface;
- and,
- placing at least portions of the wheel components of at least a first of the plurality of stackable dollies into the first or second pluralities es of aligned indentations of at least a second of the plurality of stackable dollies, thereby stacking the stackable dollies.
