A traditional Tilt dolly is structured similar to a dry wall cart but the "L" shaped holding mechanism is below the platform. The idea is you tilt the entire dolly onto two wheels picking up almost 60 lbs. so the L holding mechanism is on the floor, parallel to the floor. Then you slide the lip under what you want to pick up. The heavy duty one's weigh in around 116 pounds so you need one person to lift almost 60 pounds to lift the dolly at an angle and another person to push the door onto the dolly. Once on the dolly, the dolly is lowered so all four wheels are back onto the ground and the door is on the lip and off of the ground ready to be moved. To remove the door from the dolly, the weight of the door plus half the weight of the dolly is lifted to get the door vertical. A second person "Catcher" is then used to catch the door and slowly tilt it against the wall or support structure.

{{ifend_date_enable_dsg1_pub}}Saw Trax, a Georgia company, came up with the Scoop Dolly to move their 500 lb crated panel saws. They married a pivoting type mechanism to the side of their yellow dolly initially. It was later refined to use a dedicated "box". The Pivot Door and Window Scoop Dolly allows one person to move 500 pound door and window sets alone or a crated panel saw. Traditional door dollies need two people. Learn More

This way a large weight is not put on two angled casters so undue stress is not placed on the bearings as in the Tilt dolly. In use, the lone user can stand on the platform box of the dolly and either pull an item or use a pull stick to pull an item onto the L. They can continue to hold the item on the L while pulling the L back to the adjustable angle saddles. The item can then be moved.
