After moving twice in three years, here are the dollies that earned a permanent spot in my garage and the ones I returned.

I have moved twice in three years, helped friends move four more times, and ruined my back exactly once by skipping the right dolly. Here are the five I now own and what each one is best for.

Quick answers

Do I really need a moving dolly?

If you are moving anything heavier than 50 pounds yourself, yes. A dolly prevents the back injury.

What is the difference between a hand truck and a furniture dolly?

A hand truck stands vertical with two wheels. A furniture dolly is a flat platform with four casters. Both belong in a serious move.
