Working in a warehouse is one of the labor-intensive jobs there. Having said that, warehouse managers should do their best to ensure that employees are equipped with all necessary tools and equipment to ensure uninterrupted work processes. Carts are one of the most affordable and practical warehouse equipment.
Warehouse trolleys are an extremely practical material handling solution for the transportation of light and heavy items. They increase warehouse efficiency by allowing employees to load, transport, and locate items quickly and efficiently. In turn, this reduces the operating costs of the warehouse and helps improve worker safety. There are different types of trolleys, all designed to perform specific tasks. Some of the most popular types include platform trucks, cage trucks, tool trucks and rack trucks.
Platform trolley
Platform carts can be said to be the most commonly used carts. They have a flat platform mounted on a four-wheel chassis and have handles at one or both ends. The weight and capacity of platform trolleys vary greatly, and they can be caged or opened. Most heavy-duty platform trolleys are made of high-quality steel, while lighter models are made of aluminum.
Utility vehicle
Tool carts are an ideal choice for technicians and maintenance personnel, who need to store commonly used tools in a convenient and portable place. They are usually small and have shelves that allow you to store everything in an orderly manner. The molded top provides space for diagnostic equipment, laptops, or smart devices, while the smaller molding space provides space for small items such as fasteners.
Shelf trolley
As the name suggests, the shelf trolley is a warehouse trolley with boxes or items of various sizes on the shelves. Shelves are usually tilted back slightly so that you don’t have to worry about items falling during transportation. In addition, the shelf trolley is surrounded by crossbars on three sides, which means that only one side can be opened for loading.
