The Leader in Transporting Heavy, Awkward Objects

HMR SuppliES HAS Been HAndling All MAnneR of HeAvy, AwkwARd oBjecTS And STRucTuReS foR MoRe THAn 30 yeARS.

THe HollAnd dollie

our original and signature product, the Holland Dollie has carried hundreds of objects — from an entire museum to massive transformers, bridge beams — ships and more, while constantly evolving to meet new challenges.

we’re continuously improving the Holland dollie’s versatility and

ease of use and have adapted it to hundreds of non-standard uses. Today HMR Supplies manufactures six varieties of standard and customized Holland Dollies. The design and capabilities of the Holland Dollie also often serve as a springboard for modifying existing equipment or creating all-new products for customers.

no matter what you have to move and where you have to move it, HMR Supplies has the expertise and equipment to get it done.

Self-PRoPelled ModulAR TRAnSPoRTeRS

Building on leadership in dollies, HMR Supplies has created a line of Self-propelled Modular Transporter (SpMT) products.

A good example of an SpMT application is the Remote controlled Powered Platform dollie or Rc PPd. The units have interchangeable saddles that can be designed to hold specific products. Wheel and axle configurations can be customized for unique indoor and outdoor conditions. The Rc PPd’s unmatched flexibility traverses awkward products sideways, forwards and backwards via remote controlled electronic steering.

HeAvy TRAnSPoRT And MATeRiAl HAndling

HMR Supplies specializes in finding ways to help customers get massive objects and materials from Point A to Point B — whether that’s a journey of 100 yards or 1000 miles — as quickly, efficiently and safely as possible. our equipment also plays an integral role in moving material within heavy manufacturing facilities.

with safety always the highest priority, HMR Supplies’ experts work to understand customers’ challenges and then design total, cost-effective material handling systems. That often means modifying existing products or designing new pieces.

cReATing “cRAneleSS” fAciliTieS

Many HMR Supplies customers seek our expertise in creating alternatives to using cranes to move heavy products. using cranes elevates risk of damage to the object being lifted and injury to the people involved in lifting and transporting.

While cranes are valuable tools in many applications, HMR Supplies collaborates with customers to create solutions built around our SpMT products that can often move material more safely and efficiently and to a more diverse set of locations than cranes.

landing a Big one — large vessel dry docking when leader creek fisheries in naknek, Alaska, wanted to save time and money by dry docking their vessels for the winter near their home base, they partnered with HMR Supplies to create a unique solution.

Even large vessels must be pulled out of the water for the very long winter in

Alaska. But reaching the best haul-out location in Seattle could take up to 10 days. By developing a process to haul out locally, leader creek fisheries added up to 20 more days to the working season.

After extensive consultation, a system that uses ten Holland Dollies and five trusses and can

handle up to 400 tons was devised. The special dollies are capable of being submersed in water. Accumulators assist in regulating the pressure in the hydraulic system. when pulling longer scows out of the water, raising the hydraulic cylinders on the dollies compensates for an arc in the ramp. The

hydraulic cylinders on the Holland Dollies for each truss are coupled together in order to equalize the load. nitrogen in the accumulators controls the hydraulics to assure the cylinder can adjust and maintain consistent control of the vessel.

from Trees to Bridge decking — The Straddle Mover The Straddle Mover was initially designed to meet the very specialized needs of planting trees on the 9/11 Memorial plaza. during consultation with the customer, it became clear the equipment needed to carry the tree in the center of all the axles, be capable of traversing sideways and negotiating

tight openings on the surface of the plaza. There were also eight levels underneath the plaza so the equipment needed to create low ground pressure and offer wider tire base.

HMR Supplies took that input and more to create the Straddle Mover, with a

knuckle suspension that can lift and lower the frame and load up to 20 inches. The device can lower its load to below ground level, and features 135 degrees of steering to negotiate tight quarters. A single operator with a remote control can operate the Straddle Mover.

The Straddle Mover can also be adapted to provide an easier method for bridge deck replacement that reduces down time normally associated with the task.

The roots of the company stretch back to 1968 when Ron Holland of forest city, iowa, wanted to raise his own house to put in a new basement. A lead research and development manufacturing engineer at the time, Holland borrowed equipment from a local housemover and accomplished his task. when the local housemover retired, Holland took over the business full-time in 1977.

THe HollAnd dollie STARTED iT All

in 1981 Ron Holland began manufacturing Holland Dollies for resale and Holland Moving & Rigging Supplies — later re-named HMR Supplies

— was born. initially HMR Supplies manufactured Holland Dollies to sell to other housemovers across the country.

chris Holland, Ron’s son, returned to the family business in 2000 after earning a degree in electrical engineering from iowa State university. chris has been involved with heavy transportation his entire life and draws on this experience to design new products for the industry. chris developed the first line of self-propelled, hydrostatically driven Holland Dollies in 2002. in 2007 he was made President of HMR Supplies and began designing custom transport systems for large product industries.
