6. The dolly of claim 1 , wherein the riser body is shaped in the mold around the riser plate and a portion of the bolts.

7. A dolly comprising:

a dolly frame;

two risers connected to the dolly frame, the risers comprising:

an outer riser body with upper and lower surfaces; and

an inner core positioned between and spaced a distance from the upper and lower body surfaces;

a plurality of connecting bolts having a vertical axis and a length, the connecting bolts fixed against rotation about a vertical axis and against movement along the length of the connecting bolts to the inner core and extending from the inner core through the lower surface of the outer body, wherein the connecting bolts connect the risers to the dolly frame; and

casters connected to the dolly frame.

8. The dolly of claim 7 , wherein the connecting bolts connect the casters to the dolly frame.

9. The dolly of claim 7 , the inner core comprising a metal riser plate, the connecting bolts being welded to the metal plate.

10. The dolly of claim 7 , the frame comprising a generally rectangularly shaped frame with a pair of side members and a pair of end members connected to the side members.

13. A dolly comprising:

a frame having a pair of end members and a pair of side members;

a pair of risers, each riser comprising:

a riser body of a first material; and

a riser plate of a second material different than the first material, the riser plate being positioned between upper and lower surfaces of the riser body wherein the riser body is shaped in a mold around the riser plate;

a plurality of connecting bolts extending from the risers through the rectangular frame to connect the risers to the frame, wherein the connecting bolts are fixed to the riser plate and extend only partially through the riser; and

casters connected to the frame.
