What a dolly train actually is
A dolly train is a set of rolling tote carts (sometimes called dollies) that you can pull together in a line. Stack a few totes on each cart and you can move several totes between the truck and the door in one trip.
Why it helps
Most of the work on moving day isn't picking things up — it's the back-and-forth between the truck and the door. A dolly train reduces those trips, which usually saves time and energy.
Where it shines
- Apartments and condos with long hallways or elevators
- Garages where totes pile up before loading
- Driveways with a longer walk to the door
- Move-ins where you're staging totes in a single room first
How to use it well
Stack like-sized totes on each cart, keep the heaviest tote at the bottom, and roll slowly on uneven surfaces. Don't overload — stable stacks beat tall ones.
