Less Back Stress - JLS- "The Toilet Toter" allows you to lift the toilet once and transport it or move it to a location without having to lower and lift the toilet frequently.

Also the toilet will have to be lifted off the dolly to place the toilet in the truck or bring in a new one. The furniture dolly is a poor replacement for Johnny Lift Stick - "The Toilet Toter.
