MaxWorks 50856 Hardwood Furniture Moving Dolly User Manual

1. Product Overview

The MaxWorks 50856 Hardwood Furniture Moving Dolly is a specialized piece of equipment designed to assist in the transportation of heavy furniture and other items, particularly across various surfaces. It is constructed using sturdy materials, often featuring a wooden platform made from hardwood, which provides durability and strength to support the weight of furniture items.

Key Features:

• Durable Hardwood Platform: The dolly's platform is typically made from high-quality hardwood, known for its robustness and ability to withstand heavy loads.
• Optimal Dimensions: The platform is rectangular in shape and comes in 18" x 12" sizes to accommodate different types of furniture.
• Smooth-Rolling Wheels: Sturdy wheels allow the dolly to move smoothly across various surfaces, including hardwood floors, carpets, concrete, and more.
• Non-Slip Surface: To prevent items from slipping or shifting during transportation, the platform features a non-slip surface to help secure the load.
• High Load Capacity: Each Hardwood Furniture Moving Dolly is designed to handle substantial weight loads, up to 660 lbs per dolly. A pair of dollies can handle 2000 lbs static loads and 1320 lbs dynamic loads.

2. Setup and Assembly

The MaxWorks 50856 Hardwood Furniture Moving Dolly requires minimal assembly. Follow these steps to prepare your dollies for use:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. You should have the main hardwood pieces, carpeted wood pieces, caster wheels, bolts, and washers.
2. Assemble Frame: Place the two carpeted wood pieces parallel to each other. Then, place the other two hardwood pieces on top, aligning the pre-drilled holes to form a rectangular frame.
3. Attach Wheels: Place the caster wheels on top of the bolts, ensuring the wheels are facing upwards.
4. Secure with Washers and Nuts: Screw the washers onto the bolts to secure the wheel casters. This step is crucial for ensuring stability during use.
5. Tighten Connections: Use a 10mm socket or an adjustable wrench to firmly tighten all nuts. Ensure all connections are secure before use.

3. Operating Instructions

Using your MaxWorks furniture dollies effectively will significantly ease the burden of moving heavy items. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance and safety:

1. Assess the Load: Determine the weight and dimensions of the item you intend to move. Ensure it does not exceed the dolly's capacity (660 lbs per dolly, 1320 lbs dynamic load for a pair).
2. Position the Dolly: Carefully lift one side of the furniture or item and slide the dolly underneath, ensuring the item rests securely on the carpeted, non-slip surface. For larger or heavier items, use two dollies, one at each end.
3. Distribute Weight Evenly: Make sure the weight of the item is distributed as evenly as possible across the dolly's surface to prevent tipping and ensure smooth movement.
4. Maneuver with Care: The 360-degree swivel casters allow for easy navigation. Push the item slowly and steadily in the desired direction. Be mindful of obstacles and uneven surfaces.
5. Moving Across Various Surfaces: The sturdy wheels are designed to perform well on hardwood floors, carpets, concrete, and other common surfaces. Exercise extra caution on very uneven or soft ground.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life and ensure the continued performance of your MaxWorks furniture dollies:

• Clean Regularly: Wipe down the wooden platform and wheels with a damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris.
• Inspect Wheels: Periodically check the caster wheels for any signs of wear, damage, or debris accumulation that might hinder smooth rotation. Remove any tangled hair, string, or other obstructions.
• Check Fasteners: Ensure all bolts and nuts securing the wheels to the platform remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent accidents.
• Store Properly: Store the dollies in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and moisture, to prevent warping of the wood or corrosion of metal parts.
