Platform trucks move large, heavy or oversized loads on an open deck whereas trolleys, such as utility trolleys, carry supplies and tools on shelves. The choice depends on what you are moving and how it needs to be secured in transit. Our platform trucks handle loads up to 907kg, while our utility trolleys offer two, three and four-shelf configurations with lipped shelves and locking castors, with capacities of up to 340kg. For contained bulk loads of waste, loose materials or laundry, a tilt truck might be the better fit. Not sure which suits your site? Start with our material handling guide.
Resin tilt trucks resist rust, warping and cracking, so they hold up to daily heavy use in a way that metal and wood can struggle to match. They are also lighter to manoeuvre, which suits demanding, high-volume environments. Our trucks are made from high-performance resin, with the strength to take the pressure shift after shift. That matters because materials that crack or break under heavy-duty use mean downtime, replacements and disruption to the work. Resin keeps your equipment in service for longer, with fewer replacements and less time out of action.
Check your trucks and trolleys regularly, keep them clean, and pull any damaged ones out of use straight away. A cracked body or a seized castor only gets worse under load and could leave you with faulty equipment during a busy time. Build in a quick look each shift, checking castors and brakes, handles, and the body for damage. Wipe off spills and never overload a truck beyond its rated capacity. Our trucks are made from high-performance resin, not metal or wood, so there is no rust to deal with. Using the right truck or trolley for the load in the first place cuts wear too. But the best way to avoid costly breakdowns? Invest in trucks and trolleys that are built to last and come with long warranties.
The three most common types are platform trucks, tilt trucks and utility trolleys. Each is built for a different kind of load. Platform trucks move large, heavy or oversized items. Tilt trucks transport and tip contained loads, with capacities from 380 to 760 litres and load ratings up to 952kg. Utility trolleys carry supplies and tools on shelves. We also offer service trolleys, container trucks and WorkStations for more specific jobs.
A durable truck or trolley keeps your operation moving. When equipment fails, work stops, productivity drops and costs rise. Equipment that holds up shift after shift also protects the people using it. Our resin trucks and trolleys do not rust, warp or crack, and are designed to be easily manoeuvred no matter the load. We're so confident of our trucks and trolleys’ build quality that the standard range comes with 3 years’ warranty while the BRUTE® range comes with a 10-year warranty.
