A dolly for supporting and transporting heavy objects between remote locations, said dolly comprising: a frame having rear and bottom sections directly conjoined to each other, said rear section having opposed end portions extending upwardly from a ground surface and terminating thereabove at a predetermined height defined along a vertical plane, said bottom section having a substantially planar and smooth top surface protruding forwardly from said rear section and at an angle orthogonal thereto such that said bottom section can receive and support the objects thereon during operating conditions, said frame further including a pair of oppositely disposed leverage arms having opposed end portions directly connected to said rear section and terminating rearward therefrom respectively; an elongated drive axle having a centrally registered longitudinal axis extending orthogonal to a longitudinal length of said rear section and further having opposed end portions terminating laterally and outwardly from said rear section, said axle being directly connected to said leverage arms in such a manner that said axle is maintained at a fixed spatial relationship with said frame during operating conditions; and first and second pairs of wheels directly and operably mounted to said end portions of said axles in such a manner that said first and second pairs of wheels can be individually removed from said axle without rendering said dolly inoperable; wherein each said first and second pairs of wheels comprises: a plurality of bearings directly intercalated between said axle end portions and associated rims of said first and second pairs of wheels, said bearings being disposed about said axle end portions and laterally spaced from said axle central portion.
