Platform Trolleys

What is the purpose of Platform Trolleys?

A platform trolley is a common piece of equipment found in environments where loads of differing weights and sizes need to be transported. There are several styles available and different options including the heavy duty platform trolley designed for industrial locations and foldaway trolleys that can be used for lighter loads. The main consideration when purchasing any platform trolley for your workplace is that it can accommodate the loads you need it to and still be movable by employees. So, be aware of the type of castors used on any platform trolley and the strength of the construction before you buy. 

Where can this product be used?

Wherever manual transportation is required, you’ll usually find a high quality platform trolley on hand. This includes industrial locations, retail environments, schools, and even offices where boxes of paper and equipment are required to be moved. The types of trolley used differ depending on a company’s requirements. For instance, heavy duty balanced platform trolleys can come with or without side panels and the choice often depends on whether your load is loose or in boxes. A platform trolley is an essential piece of site equipment for industrial businesses, allowing manual loads to be transported without injury. As such, they can be an integral element of any heavy lifting strategy designed to ensure the safety of operatives in the workplace. 

Who might use this product?

Anyone requiring manual load movement will use a platform trolley frequently. Site managers are usually the first port of call for any manual loading requirements, so they will need to be aware of the type of loading and the capacity required. In other environments, it may be the caretaker or business owner making decisions on manual movement equipment. For anyone who moves heavy loads regularly, a heavy duty platform trolley can improve their safety and security at work. They should be part of a workplace culture that ensures all employees are both aware of the manual loading strategies in place and make full use of them.
