Abstract:
A beverage keg dolly (BKD) system/method providing for transportation of a beverage keg (BK) in tight quarters is disclosed. The system/method integrates a dolly frame spine (DFS), axial wheel assembly (AWA), radial wheel assembly (RWA), keg alignment handle (KAH), keg engagement hook (KEH), beverage keg cradle (BKC), and vertical rotation handle (VRH). BK transportation uses the KAH to engage/cradle the KEH to a BK within the BKC. Once cradled by the BKC, the BK is lifted off the ground and supported by the AWA via depression of the VRH. The BK axially rotates about the AWA by the VRH until the BK center of gravity transitions a vertical equipoise plane (VEP) extending from the AWA. The weight of the BK is then supported by the AWA and the RWA. Transportation and/or circular rotation of the BK may then be affected by rotation/movement of the VRH.
