Merchandise & Order Picking Trolleys

Frequently asked questions (FAQS) about Picking Trolleys | Order Picking & Ladder Trolleys for Warehouses

What are the benefits of using AJ Products’ picking trolleys in a warehouse setting?

Our picking trolleys are designed to streamline warehouse operations by improving picking accuracy and reducing manual strain. With smooth-rolling castors and lightweight yet durable frames, they’re built for daily use in fast-paced environments. The shelves are spaced for easy access, helping teams complete more picks with fewer trips—boosting both productivity and comfort.

Can our order picking trolleys handle heavy or awkward loads?

Absolutely. Many of our warehouse picking trolleys come with reinforced shelves and robust castors to handle heavier stock. Whether you’re moving small parts, retail boxes, or mixed items, the sturdy construction and high load capacity ensure reliable performance shift after shift.

Do we provide ladder trolleys for high-shelf picking?

Yes, we supply ladder trolleys that combine secure step access with integrated shelving. They’re ideal for multi-level storage areas, allowing staff to reach upper shelves safely while collecting items in one efficient run. It’s a practical solution for warehouses looking to maximise vertical space without compromising on safety.

Are these picking trolleys suitable for non-warehouse environments too?

Definitely. While they’re built for warehouse use, these trolleys are just as effective in retail backrooms, storerooms, and dispatch areas. Their clean design, manoeuvrability and flexible configurations make them a smart choice for any business that values efficiency and organisation.

Picking trolleys that speed up order fulfilment and internal movement

In any warehouse or stockroom, time spent walking back and forth adds up fast. Our picking trolleys are designed to make item collection more efficient—whether you're processing online orders, restocking shelves or managing internal deliveries. In tool-based environments, tool trolleys often work in tandem with picking trolleys to keep frequently used equipment close at hand and mobile throughout the shift.

Order picking trolleys for speed, separation and visibility

Organisation is key when you’re managing multiple orders in one pass. Our order picking trolleys feature multiple shelves, open-frame designs and lightweight frames to minimise fatigue between pick points. Most models are constructed from powder-coated steel or aluminium for strength with reduced weight, supporting load capacities between 100–250 kg depending on the size and configuration. Some designs include raised edges or lipped shelves to prevent items from slipping in motion. Table trolleys positioned at packing or dispatch stations can support fast drop-offs or help stage partially completed orders before shipment—reducing the need for backtracking.

Ladder trolleys that combine reach and mobility

Ladder trolleys make it easier to access upper shelves while maintaining mobility—ideal in multi-level racking systems or retail settings. These trolleys typically feature welded steel frames with non-slip steps, and support up to 150 kg per platform, allowing for both safe elevation and item collection. Step stools can also support these environments by giving staff quick, stable access to mid-height shelving for one-off pulls or checks, without needing full ladder equipment. Both options contribute to safer, more efficient vertical handling.

Picking trolleys for warehouse layouts that keep shifting

Warehouse zones are rarely static. Our range of picking trolleys includes various sizes and wheel types to match shifting layouts and operational changes. Swivel castors with directional locks allow tight cornering and better alignment in narrow aisles, while ergonomic push handles reduce user fatigue over longer shifts. In environments that also require secure movement of bulkier or fragile items, cage trolleys provide enclosed, upright transport that complements open picking trolleys—especially for grouped stock or returns management.
