Heavy-duty dollies that handle what standard options don't
Custom built industrial dollies
Platform dollies
When you're moving heavy, flat loads and the deck surface is the only thing between your payload and the floor, the platform matters. Morrison's platform dollies feature solid steel decks engineered to your load weight and deck dimensions—flush deck or raised-lip options, fork pocket entry available for forklift-assisted loading.
Open frame dollies
For self-supporting loads—containers, crates, machinery bases—a solid deck adds weight and cost you don't need. Morrison's open-frame heavy duty dollies use a structural steel frame with cross-member support, engineered for loads that sit on their own base. Lighter than solid-deck configurations, same structural integrity where it counts.
Tow handle dollies
When the load needs to move further than a push, tow handle dollies connect to tuggers, AGVs, or vehicles for multi-point transport. Morrison fabricates integrated tow connections—hook, eye, or pin—engineered into the dolly frame, not bolted on after the fact.Custom configurations
When the handling problem doesn't fit a standard configuration, Morrison engineers from scratch. Specialized deck surfaces, integrated fixtures, part-specific dunnage, low-profile frames for tight clearance—all engineered-in features, not aftermarket modifications.Explore industrial carts
Not every material handling problem looks the same. The cart that works on your assembly line won't work in your shipping dock—and a catalog that sells both the same way is selling you a compromise.What standard dollies miss
Standard dollies are built to a weight rating—not to your weight, your load geometry, or the way that load has to move through your facility. The floor determines caster type and pattern. The load determines deck size and weight distribution. The handling method determines where access has to be. When any of those variables falls outside the norm, a standard dolly stops being a solution and starts being a problem you work around every day.
From concept to delivery
Consultation
Morrison's engineers review your facility layout, load requirements, floor conditions, and handling workflow. You talk to the team that designs your dollyEngineering
CAD models and 3D renderings are built from your specifications. Load distribution, deck geometry, caster type, and structural integrity are validated before a piece of steel is cut.Prototype & Approval
A physical prototype is built and validated for load capacity, deck fit, and caster performance. Testing happens before full productionProduction
Once approved, Morrison scales to your volume with consistent fabrication controls. Every unit matches the prototype.QC & Delivery
Morrison ships on the agreed schedule. Reorders, fleet expansion, replacement parts, and design modifications are handled by the same team that built the original.
Why Morrison Industries for your heavy duty dollies
You've been through it—dollies that buckle under real loads, casters that fail on your floor surface in weeks, fleets where unit 30 doesn't match unit 1. Replacement equipment that was supposed to be identical shows up different. Lead times slip. The rep stops returning calls.
Morrison gets it. We've spent 30+ years building heavy duty dollies and industrial material handling equipment for automotive plants, distribution centers, foundries, and manufacturers who can't afford equipment that doesn't fit. We're the engineers and fabricators who design and build your dollies—and we're the same team you call when your operation changes.
Engineering, fabrication, powder coating, and shipping—one roof, one team, one phone call. Every dolly inspected to prototype spec before it ships. Every delivery date backed by a production schedule we control. American steel, Tennessee facility, direct relationship from first conversation through reorder.
