Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you choose the right warehouse trolley from MHA Products.

 

 

Types of Warehouse Trolleys

1. Platform Trolleys:
   • Standard Platform Trolleys: These trolleys feature a flat deck, suitable for transporting a wide range of items. They come in different sizes and load capacities, making them versatile for various tasks.
   • Heavy Duty Platform Trolleys: Made from robust materials like steel or aluminum, these trolleys are designed for transporting heavy loads. They often come with features like double handles for better control and maneuverability.
   • Multi-Purpose Platform Trolleys: These are versatile trolleys with additional features such as folding handles or sides, allowing them to adapt to different types of cargo.
2. Cage Trolleys:
   • 2 Sided and 4 Sided Roll Cage Trolleys: These trolleys are ideal for transporting goods that need extra security. The sides prevent items from falling off during transit.
   • Nesting Roll Cage Trolleys: These are designed to save space when not in use. They can be nested into each other, making them an excellent choice for warehouses with limited storage space.
3. Order Picking Trolleys:
   • These trolleys are specifically designed for picking and transporting orders in warehouses. They often feature multiple shelves or bins to organize different items efficiently.
4. Heavy Duty Trolleys:
   • These are designed for the most demanding tasks, capable of handling very heavy loads. They are often equipped with reinforced frames and heavy-duty castors to ensure durability and ease of movement.

 

Key Features to Consider

1. Load Capacity:
   • Assess the weight of the goods you need to transport and choose a trolley that can handle that load. Overloading a trolley can lead to accidents and damage.
2. Material:
   • Trolleys are made from various materials including steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. Steel trolleys are robust and durable, aluminum trolleys are lightweight and resistant to corrosion, and stainless steel trolleys offer excellent hygiene and are easy to clean, making them suitable for food and medical industries.
3. Wheels and Castors:
   • Consider the type of wheels based on the floor surface in your warehouse. Rubber wheels are suitable for smooth surfaces, while pneumatic wheels are better for rough or uneven terrain. Ensure the wheels have good bearings for smooth and easy movement.
4. Handle Design:
   • Ergonomic handles reduce strain on the user and provide better control. Some trolleys come with foldable handles for easy storage.
5. Additional Features:
   • Look for trolleys with features like foldable sides, brakes, or additional shelves based on your specific needs.
