A platform trolley is a flat, wheeled platform used to move goods across a site without lifting. The right model depends on what you're moving, how heavy it is, and whether you need it to store away between uses. Our range covers general-purpose goods trolleys for everyday warehouse use, heavy duty platform trucks for industrial loading bays, folding trolley models for mobile teams, sided options for loads that need containing and high platform trolleys made from stainless steel - ideal for food handling or transporting tall containers and equipment.
If you need to load onto a higher surface, pair your trolley with one of our warehouse loading ramps.
Flatbed trolleys typically refer to open-deck models with no sides, used where loads are stable and easy to stack. Our flatbed trolleys range covers steel and timber deck options with capacities up to 500kg, suited to warehouses, workshops, cash and carry operations, and retail stockrooms where a simple, open platform is all that's needed.
For loads that are unstable, loose, or likely to shift in transit, a sided platform trolley keeps everything contained. Our platform trolleys with sides come in steel and wooden side configurations, with load capacities up to 1000kg and removable panels for when you need to move longer items. For environments where visibility and easy cleaning matter, our platform trolleys with mesh sides offer the same containment in an open steel mesh format.
For sites where storage space is tight or trolleys need to travel between locations, a foldable platform trolley earns its keep. The handle folds flat in seconds, reducing the footprint to almost nothing for van transport or cupboard storage. Full load capacity during use, barely any footprint when not. Our folding platform trolleys carry up to 300kg and are available in steel and aluminium. Popular with maintenance crews, school caretakers, and catering teams who need transport tools they can stow between jobs.
Where standard platform height creates an awkward lift onto benches, shelving, or high-sided vehicles, our high platform trolleys raise the working height to reduce strain.
No matter which model you choose, our heavy-duty platform trucks are the right tool for daily warehouse operations, loading bays, and pick-and-dispatch workflows where goods move continuously through a shift.
Each one is simple to assemble and built to last, with robust frames and shock-absorbing features that help handle daily challenges. Look out for added details like corner bumpers, which protect your surroundings during tight turns, and ergonomic push handles that reduce wrist and shoulder strain during long shifts.
Our castors can be selected to match your conditions - whether you’re rolling across rough concrete or polished warehouse floors. For even more transport options, explore our full trolleys and castors range to find the perfect fit for your loading and movement needs.
Platform trolleys are a versatile solution for transporting boxes, tools, or bulky goods across warehouses, workshops, and stores. The open, flat surface offers plenty of space for larger loads, while the low profile makes loading and unloading quicker and easier—especially when used continuously throughout the day.
Our platform trolleys carry loads ranging from 120kg up to 1000kg depending on the model. For most warehouse and workshop use, a 300kg to 500kg platform trolley covers the majority of handling tasks. Check the load capacity specification before ordering if you're working close to the limit.
Yes, mesh-sided platform trolleys are ideal when you need extra containment without sacrificing visibility. The side panels help secure loose or uneven items in transit, reducing the risk of shifting or falling, particularly in fast-moving or cluttered environments.
Many of our platform trucks are fitted with large, durable wheels that perform well on both smooth indoor floors and slightly uneven outdoor surfaces. This makes them a reliable choice for workplaces with mixed terrain or loading areas.
A platform trolley is used to move goods, boxes, equipment, and bulky loads across flat surfaces in warehouses, workshops, stockrooms, factories, and offices. The flat, open platform suits a wide range of load shapes and sizes, and the castor wheels allow one person to move loads that would otherwise require two.
Platform trolleys are general-purpose wheeled platforms suited to a broad range of light to medium loads. Platform trucks tend to be larger, heavier duty, and rated for higher loads, typically used in industrial and warehouse environments where loads are moved frequently or in bulk. The terms are often used interchangeably in the UK.
A fixed platform trolley has a permanent frame suited to continuous daily use. A folding platform trolley has a handle that folds flat for compact storage or vehicle transport, making it the better choice for teams that move between locations or have limited storage space. Load capacities on folding models typically reach up to 300kg.
Sided platform trolleys keep loads contained during transit, which matters when goods are loose, fragile, or liable to shift. The sides act as a barrier against loads falling, and on most models they're removable when moving larger flat items. Mesh sides offer visibility and easy cleaning; steel sides offer more robust containment for heavier loads.
