Wikipedia
A dolly is a portable anvil used to hold a rivet in position while it is being clenched with a "snapper". It is commonly cylindrical in shape and relies on its mass to work. The act of using it is known as holding up or holding on.

It was used also in boat building while clenching nails. See clinker (boat building).

A dolly (sometimes called a 4-wheel dolly or a caster board) is also a wheeled platform, usually without handles used to move medium heavy loads. It usually has four wheels or casters and a platform (or open frame) of wood, metal or plastic.

A 2-wheel dolly is another term for a hand-truck, an L-shaped cart with 2 wheels on a common axle. A luggage dolly is a lightweight 2-wheel dolly that collapses and/or folds into a package of approximately briefcase size; a refrigerator dolly is a large, heavy-duty, 2-wheel dolly that frequently has an integral system for strapping the load to itself.
