A good appliance dolly or hand truck costs $80–$200 at Canadian Tire — and lives in your garage doing nothing between moves. If you're moving a fridge, washer, or a stack of heavy boxes, renting from a neighbour for a day or weekend makes the math easy. Hand trucks and dollies are among the most practical one-time utility equipment rentals: high value for the job, no reason to own one long-term.
A quality appliance dolly costs $80–$200. At $15–$35/day to rent from a local lister, buying only makes sense if you move or help others move several times a year.

Hand truck and dolly rentals on toolshare from local listers in Bradford and the GTA typically run $15–$35/day. Appliance dollies with straps may be at the higher end. Compare that to $80–$200 to buy a quality unit that'll sit unused most of the year.
A hand truck (also called a two-wheeler) stands upright and is designed for stacking boxes or tipping appliances onto their wheels. A furniture dolly is a flat platform on casters for sliding heavy furniture without tilting it. For moving a fridge or stacked boxes, use a hand truck. For couches, dressers, and heavy pieces you're not stacking, use a furniture dolly.
Many toolshare listers are flexible — message them directly to ask about half-day or hourly rates. Moving day pickups are common, so ask about early-morning availability too.
Some listers include moving straps; others don't. Check the listing description or message the lister before booking. Straps are useful for securing appliances on a hand truck — if they're not included, pick up a set at a hardware store.
