It’s amazing the difference that simple equipment can make in handling heavy loads. Imagine yourself dragging a heavy box across a warehouse floor. It would take forever to get it across, and your back would take a beating. With a flatbed trolley, you can get the load to its destination in a fraction of the time and with minimal effort. It’s a simple machine that could change how you handle loads and because it’s small, you can use it in a business or residential setting.

What is a Flatbed Trolley?

A flatbed trolley is a transportation device used in factories, warehouses and industrial settings to move bulky loads across the space. The design of the flatbed trailer has basic components that include a flat surface where you place the goods and a handle to pull or push the trolley. It also has casters that can be made from various materials depending on the type and quality of the trolley you choose.

The trolley bed is essential because it handles most of the weight. It is made from heavy-duty materials such as steel, but it’s also possible to find wood planks used in some flatbed trolleys. The trolley’s frame is also made from steel, making it durable and easy to maintain.

Types of Flat Bed Trolleys We Have

Onit Direct stocks a vast range of flatbed trolleys and trucks to suit different applications and requirements in different industries. Some of the flatbed trolley options we have and their functionalities include the following:

Flatbed trolleys

This is the most popular, versatile, and sought-after type of flat bed trolley we have. It features a trolley with a flat base mounted on 4 castors with a low flat base. This trolley has a high weight capacity and can be used to move heavy items within the warehouse or other manufacturing operations.

They are often seen within cash and carry outlets or industrial warehouses.

Platform truck

This type of trolley is similar to the flatbed trolley. The only difference is it has raised sides to keep items from falling during transportation. The trolley is also fitted with braked castors, which lock the wheels, among other features. The sides can be solid or mesh depending on the trolley’s applications.

Double sided trolleys

Double-sided trolleys are commonly used to move long or large flat loads. They are versatile trolleys that allow you to segregate the load into different sizes and types. The trolley can be used for activities such as picking in warehouses. It mainly handles awkwardly sized loads. Our adjustable double-sided trolley features adjustable rails that allow the sides to be brought inwards to give the operator greater control over the loads they move.

Shelf Trolleys

Shelf trolleys are the best when it comes to general storage. Shelf trolleys come in various sizes and have varying numbers of shelves. All types of shelf trolleys have castors that make them easily moveable storage. The trolleys can be used in mailrooms, warehouses and workshops. They can also be used in applications where short-term storage is necessary before moving the item to the next stage of the production line. The unique design of the shelf trolley makes it one of the more versatile options we have and is applicable in a multitude of industries.

Dollies

Dollies are a unique type of trolley. They are used to convert stationery storage solutions like bins to moveable storage. The dollies can work with various storage packages, including standard euro crates or tote boxes. With a high weight loading, our dollies can help move a wide range of boxes, bale arm crates, and tote boxes with a 600x400mm, 400x300mm, or 800x600mm footprint.

Dollies are perfect for workplaces with limited space and require mobility, usually for moving small loads.

Roll Pallets

Often referred to as roll cages, roll pallets are available in a number of styles, including standard, nestable, and jumbo sizes and can have additional shelves.

Our roll pallets are manufactured from wire mesh metal and come in 2, 3 and 4-sided options.

The roll cages allow goods to be transported safely and efficiently. The nestable feature reduces logistics costs when being transported empty.

Used heavily within distribution, retail, automotive and general warehouse operations, we have a large number of roll cage options to suit every application.

Why Do You Need a Flatbed Trolley?

Flatbed trolleys are designed for use in different situations. Even though you don’t own one, you might have seen it lined up at a department store, a warehouse or a construction area. Some homes also have flatbed trolleys for easier movement of bulk loads. Depending on the requirements of the task at hand, there are different types of flatbed trolleys you can look at. But they all serve the same purpose, albeit in different ways. Here are a few reasons why you should consider getting a flatbed trolley.

Reduces time and labour

The greatest upside to using flatbed trolleys is that they reduce time and labour. For businesses, that means smoother and more efficient operations. A flatbed trolley minimises the time it takes to transport materials and increases productivity because you can move more items in less time compared to the employees carrying the same materials by hand.

Increases workplace safety

Many small and medium-sized companies haven’t embraced flatbed trolleys, and they should because they can help them become more efficient and they drastically lower the risk of work-related injuries that occur as a result of employees lifting and carrying heavy loads. With flatbed trolleys, employees don’t have to drag or carry heavy boxes and loads across a significant distance. The same safety applies when using a flatbed trolley around the house when carrying heavy things like home appliances.

They make financial sense

Investing in flatbed trolleys has an initial cost, but the costs they save you in the long run far outweigh what you pay for them initially.

By reducing time and labour, the trolleys allow your employees to work more efficiently, longer, harder and more consistently, which saves you labour and hiring costs. After all, retaining employees is cheaper than regularly hiring new ones.

The trolleys can also save you money in hospital bills and lawsuits. With reduced workplace injuries, you don’t have to worry about paying medical bills for injured employees or handling lawsuits from injured employees.

Efficient transfer of cargo

Unloading cargo directly onto flatbed trolleys increases efficiency and safeguards the loads’ integrity. Instead of unloading onto the deck and then loading on the trolleys, you save time and increase efficiency by offloading onto the trolleys for immediate transfer to the warehouse. It saves time!

How to Choose the Right Flatbed Trolley

You can maximise the benefits of the flatbed trolley by selecting the right one for your needs and settings. However, because it’s not every day you buy a flatbed trolley, picking the right one in our vast collection can be challenging. That’s why we’ve put together some things you should consider when buying the trolley to help you make the best choice.

What are you handling?

Flatbed trolleys come in different designs and weight limits. The first step is determining the weight and nature of what will be carried using the trolleys. Is the item bulky or not? What is the weight and the size of the object? Can the object be packaged in boxes, or are they loose? All these considerations will help you determine whether a flatbed trolley is the best choice for you and which will work best for you.

These considerations will also help you determine the size of the trolley that will work best for you. If you have odd-sized things, you might need a shelved trolley to keep the load from falling over when moving.

Environment

Where do you intend to use the trolley? Do you have elevator access on each floor? Are the doors and walkways large enough for the trolley to go through easily? If you have space limitations, what size of trolley would go through the walkways easily? What are the floors of the warehouse like? Are they smooth or rough?

These considerations will help you determine the size of the trolley that will best serve your needs and the size of the castor wheels.

Flexibility

You might need a flatbed trolley that can adapt to different situations and dimensions in your workspace or environment. The trolley might need to be adjusted to different widths and heights. Such features are vital if the warehouse or the environment is inconsistent, and you don’t want to move the load from one trolley to another constantly. But ultimately, it’s better to buy a flexible, versatile trolley that can be used for various applications and uses in different environments.

Usability percentage

Another important factor to consider is how much you will rely on the flatbed trolley. If you’re transporting heavy things regularly, you need to find a sturdy, stable, folding flatbed trolley that will keep up with the task’s demands. For lightweight use, you have more flexibility on the quality of the trolley, especially if the load is large but not particularly heavy.
