DJ Products, Inc. of Minneapolis has introduced a walk behind self-propelled powered carpet dolly that eliminates the man-handling of heavy rolled floor coverings, such as carpet, rugs, and mats. Their motorized carpet mover, called the CarpetCaddy, allows a single operator to easily load, move, and unload large floor covering rolls up to 1000 lbs.
Applications for the carpet dolly would consist of supplying rolls to and from job-site's, around a warehouse, maneuvering in a retail sales center, set-up in an event center or gymnasium, or the removing and delivery of seasonal floor maps or rugs in high foot traffic area's, such as the front of a department stores or hospitals.
The size of the powered carpet dolly makes it a much safer solution than a large, bulky fork truck around area's where pedestrians or employees are present, or it reduces the number of employees manipulating and moving from 5 to 1 while saving a possible injuring from over extending one's body on these heavy, often clumsy rolls of carpeting, rolls, or mats.
Their motorized carpet mover can load and transport up to 1000 lbs. with a very unique tilt and power forward while operating a conveyer belt backwards, and then reverse the motion to unload. The carpet dolly is powered by 2 12volt batteries and can perform all day without charging. The variable speed handlebar twist grip allows the operator to slowly and smoothly maneuver in a very tight, confined area.
