Fragile Glass? No Problem. Transport Dolly for Large Windows and Double Doors

Welcome to our latest demonstration, where we highlight the robust capabilities of our Motorized Job Site Scoop Dolly. In this video, owner Michael Della Polla showcases the dolly’s performance as we test bracing solutions for large doors and windows.

The Motorized Job Site Scoop Dolly: A Revolutionary Tool for Job Sites

Statistically, job site deliveries are among the most injury-prone activities due to the challenges of moving heavy objects like doors, windows, and sheet goods across uneven and treacherous terrain. The Motorized Job Site Scoop Dolly addresses these challenges with innovative features that ensure safety and efficiency.

The powerful motor and track system, equipped with a 750-watt brushless 48-volt motor and a tracked drive system, powers through sand, mud, rocks, and hills effortlessly. The 48-volt LiFePO4 rechargeable battery ensures long-lasting performance on the job site.

This motorized dolly allows a single person to move up to 700 pounds without lifting, making it ideal for delivering large, heavy items like quad doors, triple windows, and drywall. The pivoting scoop blade tilts vertically to load items onto the 4-inch lip, allowing easy loading and unloading without lifting. The scoop can be tilted back to different angles to accommodate items of various heights, maintaining a stable center of gravity.

The powder-coated steel frame and flat-free caster and locking wheels ensure durability and reliability. Twelve “E-Track” fittings in the scoop section and two in the body section provide secure strapping options. The removable footprint expanding wheel offers additional stability when navigating sloped terrain, and the two-handle “T” steering and throttle control with forward and reverse switch enhance maneuverability.

Optional accessories include an adjustable shelf, ideal for carrying multiple objects or raising a load for better ground clearance, especially useful for longer loads when navigating ramps. The 10 amp fast charger upgrade significantly reduces recharge time compared to the standard 3-amp charger.


Increase Operational Efficiency and Safety Standards

The Motorized Job Site Scoop Dolly is an essential tool for the construction industry, providing a safe and efficient solution for transporting a wide variety of materials. Its robust construction, innovative loading mechanism, and powerful motor make it the ideal choice for job sites with challenging terrains.

The High Cost of Jobsite Injuries and How to Prevent Them: Focus on Lifting Injuries

Jobsite Lifting Injuries
Many jobsite injuries are related to straining lifting or moving heavy equipment, or having it fall or shift during transport either onto the person or physically damaging the spine through mechanical force.

Jobsite injuries not only cause pain and suffering for employees but also lead to significant financial losses for companies. Among the various types of injuries, those related to lifting are particularly prevalent and preventable.

Understanding the Impact

Jobsite injuries can result in direct costs such as medical expenses and compensation payments, as well as indirect costs including lost productivity, training replacement employees, and damage to company reputation. Lifting injuries, due to their nature, often lead to prolonged recovery times, increasing these costs substantially.

Prevention Strategies

Proper Training and Techniques

Investing in comprehensive training programs that teach proper lifting techniques is crucial. Employees should be trained to lift with their legs, not their back, and to ask for help with heavy items.

Ergonomic Equipment

Using ergonomic tools and equipment can significantly reduce lifting injuries. Items such as adjustable workstations, lifts, and automated machinery help minimize the physical strain on workers.

Regular Breaks and Physical Support

Encouraging regular breaks and providing physical support accessories like back braces can also prevent injuries. These breaks help workers avoid fatigue, which is a common cause of accidents.

Technology to the Rescue: Introducing the Scoop Dolly

Towards addressing these challenges, the Scoop Dolly presents a groundbreaking solution, particularly for moving heavy, tall, narrow, and long products around a warehouse or onto a truck safely, without a forklift, and with just one person.

Design and Efficiency

The Scoop Dolly’s unique design features a pivoting “scoop” section, which allows objects to be loaded without tilting the entire dolly. This design not only prevents lifting injuries but also simplifies the process, making it faster and more efficient. The dolly can accommodate objects from 3 ft. to 12 ft. tall, with the capability of handling up to 800 lbs., upgradeable to 1000 lbs.

Omni-Directional Movement

Equipped with omni-directional casters, the Scoop Dolly allows for movement in any direction, easing the maneuverability of long and bulky items through tight spaces. This capability is crucial in cluttered or confined jobsite environments.

Versatility and Accessibility

The Scoop Dolly also features optional accessories like Leverage Bars and Dock Transition Wheels, enhancing its versatility for various loads and surfaces. These additions make it an indispensable tool for diverse jobsite applications, from moving fully framed doors and windows to large appliances and pre-manufactured cabinet sections.

Safety and Cost-Effectiveness

By reducing the need for multiple workers to move heavy items, the Scoop Dolly not only cuts down on labor costs but also significantly diminishes the risk of lifting injuries. Its ability to keep the load stable and supported once loaded means less physical strain on the operator, thereby fostering a safer work environment.

Conclusion: Lessen Jobsite Injuries with the Proper Technology

Injuries related to lifting are a major concern on job sites, but with the right strategies and tools, they can be effectively prevented. The Scoop Dolly is a testament to how innovative solutions can transform workplace safety, proving that investing in such technologies not only enhances efficiency but also conserves resources and protects employees. By adopting tools like the Scoop Dolly, companies can ensure safer handling of materials, which translates to fewer injuries and a healthier bottom line.
