A platform trolley (also known as a folding platform truck or 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. Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we offer a wide slection of platform trolleys, including heavy-duty flatbed trolleys for more demanding material handling jobs.
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 is the maximum load for a platform trolley?
Our heavy-duty platform trolleys have a maximum load capacity of up to 1 tonne (1000kg) distributed uniformly.
What types of platform trolley are there?
Our basic platform trolleys are extremely functional and ideal for a huge range of applications. They can even be folded flat, minimsing the amount of space needed to store them.
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, if you're working outdoors, an all-terrain site trolley may be preferable to the standard platform truck (which are better suited to indoor use). Our site trolleys are ideal for moving loads around construction sites and other outdoor spaces.
