WARNING — INJURY HAZARD
A full 6.5-gallon carboy is roughly 75 lbs of glass. Carboy Dolly is built to move that safely, but a loaded carboy in motion still demands attention.
Lock the casters whenever the dolly isn't moving. Two of the four lock both wheel and swivel — use them before you rack, before you walk away, and any time the floor isn't level. An unlocked dolly can roll on a slope you didn't notice.
When moving a loaded carboy:
- Push rather than pull, and keep it at walking pace
- Watch the floor ahead for cracks, thresholds, hoses and drains — the dolly clears most of them, but hitting one at speed can rock the vessel
- Keep your feet clear. 75 lbs over a toe is a serious injury
- Move it on level ground only. Never roll a loaded carboy down a ramp or slope
Glass carboys can break. Handle a loaded dolly as carefully as you'd handle the carboy itself, and keep children and pets clear while it's loaded or in motion.
Carboy Dolly is not a step stool or a seat.
