Shoulder dolly

[1] In 2019, a shoulder dolly made by a British manufacturer was named a finalist in Tomorrow’s Health & Safety Awards 2019, which is part of a digital magazine for the British health and safety industry.

[5] According to one source, the leg muscles are less prone to getting tweaked and injured compared to the back due to the additional weight during a lift.

[3] Compared to a trolley, a lifting strap can make it easier to move objects past uneven surfaces such as steps and stairs.

Shoulder dollies are sometimes also used together with a wheeled trolley to pass varied terrain where it is possible to take advantage of benefits from both transportation methods when suited.

[citation needed] The sling is often attached to the object being carried via a lifting hook.
