Trolleys

The defining feature of a trolley in our material handling equipment range is the castors it runs on, the benefit is what it does and how little space it needs. Your weekly shop illustrates the versatility of trolleys.  Every night over 12 million trolleys ship your next meal to you whilst you are asleep. Trolleys reach parts fork trucks are not allowed to go. We have assembled a selection of commercial and industrial material handling equipment for you, including shopping trolleys which you can buy on line. 

The humble trolley believe it or not, still out sells the pallet truck - why?  Because there are some places only big enough to take a person and their trolley - and that is never going to change. Over the years dozens of variations of trolleys have evolved to do thousands of material handling jobs from collecting bottles in bars to luggage in airports. Hundreds of warehouse applications are perfect for trolleys. Used with storage boxes, trolleys are very productive sitting quietly on stations as a stillage whilst the next consignment is assembled.
