A dolly system for use in moving large, loaded, display cases and similar structures that includes several dollies and apparatus for lifting the cases onto the dollies. Each dolly includes a housing having typically four casters on one side with walls around each caster and spaced tapered walls along a surface for supporting a downwardly extending rail along the underside of the case. A surface for engaging and supporting a kick plate is included, with a ridge for retaining the kick plate in position. An extendable bar is positioned through holes in the rails so that the case may be lifted with a fork lift and the dollies placed in position. The dollies may also be fastened to a large sheet of plywood or to a wood gondola for supporting other types of cases. With this system, during store renovation fully loaded display cases may be moved as needed and can be used by customers while mounted on the casters.
