Material Handling Carts & Dollies

Professional Stone Moving & Transportation Equipment

Granite Dollies, Slab Carts & Stone Transport Equipment

Move raw slabs, fabricated countertops, and finished stone pieces safely with professional granite dollies, slab carts, and transport equipment from BB Industries. Designed for fabrication shops, delivery crews, and countertop installers, these heavy-duty carts and racks protect polished edges, reduce worker strain, and keep material moving efficiently from slab storage to fabrication, delivery, and final installation.

Fabrication Shop Carts

Shop carts provide a stable, mobile platform for moving raw slabs and fabricated pieces between saws, CNC machines, polishing stations, and inspection areas. Rubber-lined rails protect finished edges, while swivel casters provide the maneuverability needed for tight shop layouts.

Slab Dollies & Trolleys

Low-profile slab dollies and self-locking trolleys are designed for moving individual slabs across smooth shop floors. Their narrow footprint allows them to travel between machinery and through confined work areas while safely supporting heavy stone loads.

Stone Transport Racks

Transport racks mount inside trucks, trailers, and vans to hold finished countertops and slab sections upright during delivery. Rubber-padded rails and secure hold-down straps help prevent movement, edge damage, and surface contact while materials are in transit.

Countertop Delivery Equipment

Specialized stone transport carts help installers move kitchen countertops, islands, vanities, and other fabricated pieces from the delivery vehicle to the installation area. These carts reduce manual lifting while improving control through doorways and around corners.

Choosing the Right Granite Slab Moving Equipment

The best stone transport equipment depends on where the material is being moved, the weight and dimensions of the load, and the surfaces or obstacles encountered along the route.

  • In-shop movement: Choose a fabrication or shop cart with swivel casters for moving material efficiently between production stations.
  • Individual slab transport: Use a low-profile slab dolly or self-locking trolley for quickly moving one slab across a flat shop floor.
  • Truck and van delivery: Select a transport rack with padded rails and hold-down straps to secure fabricated pieces during road transit.
  • Jobsite installation: Use a compact countertop cart that can travel through doorways, around corners, and across finished flooring.
  • Load capacity: Always choose equipment with a rated capacity that exceeds the weight of your heaviest slab or countertop assembly.

BB Industries supplies professional granite slab moving equipment trusted throughout the stone fabrication industry for shop production, truck loading, countertop delivery, and jobsite installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best dolly for granite countertops?

For finished granite countertops, a rubber-lined shop cart or fabrication cart provides strong edge protection and stable support during transport. For moving an individual piece across a smooth, flat floor, a low-profile self-locking slab trolley offers a fast and secure solution. The best choice depends on whether the material is being moved within the shop, loaded into a truck, or transported through a jobsite.

How much weight can a granite slab dolly hold?

Capacity varies by design and model. Compact slab dollies and transport trolleys commonly support between 600 and 1,300 pounds, while full-size fabrication carts and transport racks may carry 2,000 pounds or more. Always confirm the manufacturer's rated capacity before loading stone.

What is the difference between a shop cart and a transport rack?

Shop carts use casters and are designed to move slabs and countertops around a fabrication facility. Transport racks are secured inside trucks, vans, or trailers and hold stone upright during road travel. Many fabrication shops use shop carts for production movement and separate transport racks for customer deliveries.

How do slab dollies protect finished stone?

Professional slab dollies and fabrication carts use rubber-lined rails, padded supports, and secure straps to prevent direct metal contact with polished stone. These protective surfaces reduce the risk of scratching, chipping, and edge damage while material is being moved.

What should I consider when choosing a stone transport cart?

Consider the maximum load capacity, slab dimensions, floor condition, caster design, overall cart width, turning radius, doorway clearance, and whether the equipment will be used in the shop or on delivery jobs. The cart should safely support the load while remaining manageable along the entire transport route.
