Smart, Simple, and Built to Move 70 lbs—So You Don’t Have To
At Hilmerson Safety®, we’re always looking for ways to make your job site safer—and smarter. That’s why we designed the Guardrail Weighted Base Dolly: to help crews move our 70 lb non-penetrating weighted bases more easily, safely, and efficiently.
As President and CEO of Deb Hilmerson puts it, “This is one of the best things that we’ve created and the biggest, most important part of our weighted base system.”
Because let’s face it: even the best base system can become a burden if it’s slowing you down or putting unnecessary strain on your crew. Why break your back? That’s not necessary.
The Problem: Great Safety, Heavy Lifting
Our non-penetrating weighted base is the go-to choice when anchoring isn’t an option—like on finished concrete, elevated decks, or delicate surfaces. It delivers rock-solid, OSHA-compliant fall protection with no drilling required. But each base weighs 70 pounds. And while that’s a plus for stability, it’s not ideal for mobility. We’ve seen teams try to tough it out:
“We’ll just carry it.”
Until they realize they’re lifting 70 lbs—again and again across the site. That’s where the dolly comes in.
The Solution: A Mobile Dolly Designed for the Job Site
Enter the Hilmerson Guardrail Weighted Base Dolly—a small tool that takes a big load off. Just hook it onto the weighted base, grab the handle, and go. One person, one hand. That’s all it takes.
Deb Hilmerson, President and CEO of Hilmerson says, “You can go through the dirt. You can go through rubble. Tar, concrete—you name it.”
It’s built for the real conditions of a job site—not just flat, clean surfaces. And it turns a heavy-lifting headache into a smooth, roll-away solution.
Why It Works:
- Hooks directly onto our weighted base – no extra straps, clips, or tools
- Rugged wheels – roll easily over dirt, debris, rubble, tar, and concrete
- Single-person operation – push it with one hand, even around tight corners
- Built tough – construction-grade durability that holds up on every site
It’s a very inexpensive, but very important tool—something we think is a must if you’re using our weighted bases.
Built for Lean Construction.
Save time and money with our reusable system. It’s a great investment that you can use job after job. The Guardrail Weighted Base Dolly is a lean construction tool that:
- Reduces manual handling
- Speeds up install and teardown
- Helps prevent strain and fatigue injuries
- Simplify inventory, storage and transportation
And yes—if you’re ordering our Non-Penetrating Guardrail Weighted Base Kit, the dolly is included. It’s a simple upgrade that pays for itself in time saved and backs protected.
