Overview
Carrying folding chairs by hand — two at a time, back and forth across a banquet hall or gymnasium — is one of the most time-consuming tasks in event setup. This folding chair dolly eliminates the trips by moving up to 10 standard folding chairs at once. Load the chairs onto the vinyl-coated hangers, tilt back, and roll. One person handles what previously took multiple trips or a second set of hands.
The heavy-gauge steel construction and 180 lb capacity are built for the daily demands of venues, schools, and churches that set up and tear down seating on a regular basis. Two 8″ x 1¾” skid-resistant rubber wheels roll smoothly across tile, carpet, concrete, and gym flooring. The red vinyl-coated hangers grip chairs securely and protect finishes from scratches. Weighs 28 lbs. Ships UPS with some simple assembly required. Every unit is manufactured by Raymond Products in Minneapolis, Minnesota with a lifetime warranty.
Features and Benefits
The vinyl-coated steel hangers are the key feature. The 18⅛”-long hangers accept standard folding chairs hung by their seat frames, and the non-slip vinyl coating keeps chairs from sliding during transport. The 12½” distance between hangers accommodates most standard folding chair profiles. For wider Lifetime-brand folding chairs, the dolly holds 6 chairs instead of 10.
The 27¾” frame width fits through standard doorways with room to spare — even when fully loaded. The 43″ overall height keeps the center of gravity low for stable rolling, and the 22½” depth provides a compact footprint when stored against a wall or in a closet. The powder-coated gray finish resists chips and scratches across years of institutional use.
At 180 lbs capacity and 28 lbs empty, this chair cart strikes the right balance between portability and durability. Light enough for any staff member to position, strong enough to handle a full load of metal or resin folding chairs without flexing.
Applications
Banquet halls and event venues use this folding chair dolly for daily setup and teardown. Moving 10 chairs per trip instead of 2 cuts chair positioning time significantly — especially in large rooms requiring 200+ chairs. Hotel banquet staff, catering companies, and event rental operations rely on it between back-to-back functions.
Schools and universities use it for assembly seating, graduation ceremonies, parent nights, and cafeteria overflow. Church volunteers use it for fellowship hall and worship space reconfiguration. Community centers, recreation departments, and VFW halls use it for the same purpose — any facility that regularly sets up and stores folding chairs.
Office facilities managers use it when conference rooms or training spaces need temporary overflow seating. The compact storage footprint means the chair cart tucks into a supply closet when not in use.
Selection Assistance
Choose this folding chair dolly when you move 10 or fewer standard folding chairs at a time and need a compact, affordable transport solution. The 180 lb capacity covers most standard metal and resin folding chairs.
For higher-volume folding chair transport (24-32 chairs per load), the Model 630/600 Chair Tote provides 300 lb capacity with hard rubber casters. For vertical hanging storage of folding chairs (48-96 chairs), the Model 900 series hanging chair storage trucks provide both transport and long-term storage in a single unit.
For stacking chairs (not folding chairs), the Model 500 stacked chair dolly is designed for that specific chair style.
