Date Posted:13 October 2016
What is the Right Trolley for My Workplace?
Your operations are different to every other business in Australia. Your systems, products and employees all differ in some way. That’s why you should select a trolley that matches your business. This makes more sense than forcing your operations to mould to your manual handling equipment. Let’s take a look at the different trolleys available and how they’re most commonly used.
Different Types of Trolleys and Their Applications
1. 2 & 3 Tier Trolleys – This is a general purpose warehouse trolley that’s used for order selection and moving materials throughout a warehouse.
2. Chrome Wire & Basket Trolleys - These are ideal for use in hospitals, retail or office environments for carting documents and light items.
3. Cleaning Carts & Trolleys - These are essential for waste removal and organising as well as easy access to cleaning products and tools.
4. Dollies - Useful for moving heavy bulky items such as furniture, equipment and pianos.
