Trolleys, Dollies & Hand Trucks

Move stock, tools, cartons, parts and equipment more safely with purpose-selected trolleys, dollies and hand trucks. This collection is the broad starting point for warehouse, workshop, site and delivery work, while the linked specialist ranges help you narrow down by load style, deck layout and manoeuvrability.

Choose the right trolley for the load

Use a platform trolley for cartons, bins and irregular loads that need a stable deck; a hand truck or folding trolley for compact transport and frequent loading; and a machinery skate when relocating heavy equipment across a prepared floor. Consider the load weight, centre of gravity, dimensions, terrain, turning area and whether the load must be restrained during travel.

Capacity is not the only safety check

A trolley’s rated capacity assumes correct use on a suitable surface. Verify wheel condition, castor type, deck or frame integrity and the condition of handles, straps and brakes before use. Keep the load low and stable, do not overload the deck, avoid sudden direction changes and use additional people or mechanical assistance when the load cannot be controlled safely by one operator.

Wheels, terrain and access

Hard wheeled trolleys typically suit smooth concrete floors, while pneumatic or larger-diameter wheels can improve movement over uneven site surfaces. Measure doorways, aisles, ramps and lift clearances before selecting a trolley, particularly when transporting bulky equipment or long materials.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a hand truck for a heavy appliance or machine?

Only if the trolley’s capacity, frame, wheel type and load geometry are suitable. Secure the load, keep its centre of gravity close to the frame and use a machinery skate or lifting equipment where a hand truck is not appropriate.

What is the difference between a trolley and a dolly?

A trolley commonly has a handle and load platform for guiding goods, while a dolly is usually a lower platform designed to support and roll a load. The best choice depends on the load shape, route and level of control needed.

Should I choose a folding trolley?

Folding models are useful where storage space and portability matter. For continual heavy industrial use, compare frame construction, wheels, capacity and deck size with a fixed platform trolley before choosing.
