A platform trolley (also known as a flatbed trolley) is a type of wheeled trolley that's commonly seen in warehouses and other commercial environments. The standard design consists of a flat load bed, 4 casters, and a push / pull handle for manoeuvering.
Platform trolleys are a very popular material handling solution, not least because their simple design makes them incredibly versatile.
What can a platform trolley be used for?
Our platform trolleys are suitable for a wide variety of jobs. They are frequently used to move heavy loads in:
- Warehouses
- Shops
- Factories
- Workshops
- Offices
What types of platform trolley are there?
Our basic platform trolleys are extremely functional and ideal for a huge range of applications. However, if you are dealing with specific requirements or limitations, you may find it useful to purchase or hire a specialist platform trolley with additional features.
For example, our nesting platform trolleys are perfect for premises where storage space is at a premium. The hinged platform makes it easy to nest several trolleys together, so less space is required when putting them away.
If you're working outdoors, a flatbed garden trolley is a great alternative to the standard platform trolley products (which are better suited to indoor use). The garden trolley is specifically designed for outside jobs, with large wheels that can negotiate the tricky terrain of garden centres, building sites, music festivals, etc.
We also stock a selection of lightweight aluminium trolleys (various load capacities available). These trolleys can be folded flat, again reducing the amount of space needed to store them.
