Understanding Category 126: Dollies & Hand Trucks
The Dollies & Hand Trucks category, identified by ID 126, belongs to the Hardware > Tools hierarchy. This specific classification is essential for merchants selling manual transport equipment designed for moving heavy or bulky items efficiently in domestic or industrial settings.
What belongs in this category
This category is intended for products designed to support, lift, or move heavy loads across flat or inclined surfaces. Based on data from the US market, appropriate examples include:
- Convertible and multi-function hand trucks
- Platform trucks and push cart dollies
- Stair-climbing utility carts and specialized appliance dollies
- Industrial wood or metal dollies designed for heavy equipment
- Folding personal hand trucks for portability
What does not belong here
Items meant for building structures, such as Ladders & Scaffolding, must be excluded. Power-operated lifting equipment that is not a manual truck should be classified elsewhere. Furthermore, do not include general hardware tools like Wrenches, Hammers, or Drills, which fall under their respective specific categories within the Tools tree. If you are selling items like Saw Horses or Tool Sets, ensure they are mapped to those unique identifiers rather than the general transport equipment section.
How to use in your feed
To use this category in your product feed, set the google_product_category attribute to either 126 or Hardware > Tools > Dollies & Hand Trucks. Including this ID is optional but recommended to prevent Google from misclassifying your transport tools. While you may use the product_type attribute for your internal inventory organization, this does not replace the official Google category requirement.
