In this example we're gonna talk about a very popular two wheel dolly. Sometimes known as a hand truck. Also known as a two wheeler, stack truck, trolley, trolley truck, sack barrel, sack truck, or even a bag barrel. With this example we're using a two wheel dolly to move a box. First bring the box to the device. And lower the object with proper body mechanics. Make sure it's placed and centered with its center of gravity close to the upright part of the two wheel dolly and make sure it's sitting right tight against the support steel. Then in order to secure it, use both hands to grasp the handle and with one foot on the axle of the dolly lean the dolly back and then gain your balance and begin to move the load to the destination carefully.
A two-wheel dolly can significantly reduce lifting and the risk of injury when used properly to move heavy objects.
