Shelf trolleys

Frequently asked questions (FAQS) about Shelf Trolleys | Shelves & Storage on Wheels | Free UK Delivery

How are shelf trolleys used in warehouse and workshop environments?

Shelf trolleys are a practical solution for organising and transporting bulky stock, inventory and tools. With multiple levels of open shelving, they help staff manage tasks that involve picking, assembly or stock movement—keeping items visible and within easy reach at all times.

What's the difference between our shelf trolleys and tray trolleys?

Shelf trolleys have flat, open shelves for carrying larger items and are great for tasks like moving stock or storing supplies. Tray trolleys have raised-edge trays that keep smaller or loose items secure, making them ideal for tools, parts or liquids. At AJ Products UK, we offer both types to help with your transport, storage and loading needs. They also work well together for handling different kinds of items.

Are the shelves removable or fixed?

We offer both options. Some models feature fixed steel shelves for added stability, while others include removable levels to accommodate larger items or allow for easier cleaning. This flexibility makes them suitable for a range of storage needs. Our shelf trolleys also come with different wheel types, and some are fitted with brakes to prioritise safety and ease of use.

Can our heavy duty shelf trolleys be used in spaces outside the warehouse?

Absolutely! While designed for industrial settings in mind, our metal shelf trolleys work just as well in garages, stockrooms, maintenance areas, or even retail backrooms—anywhere that requires efficient mobile storage with quick access to supplies.

Shelf trolleys that keep items organised and mobile across work zones

Shelf trolleys are a practical choice for storing and transporting tools, parts, or stock in environments where quick access and visibility are important. Commonly used in workshops, warehouses and maintenance areas, they help keep items separated and reduce unnecessary trips between tasks. We offer a wide selection of shelf trolleys with 2, 3, or 4-tier shelving options on wheels. Some models are also foldable for easy storage when not in use. Designs range from lightweight polypropylene shelves with aluminium frames to heavy-duty steel units and ESD-approved shelf trolleys, suitable for electronics and static-sensitive environments. Whether you're furnishing a compact office or equipping a large industrial zone, we have models to match your space and workload.

Heavy duty shelf trolleys for storing tools, equipment and bulky items

Our heavy duty shelf trolleys are built with welded steel or aluminium frames and solid shelf bases made from plastic, laminate, or MDF (medium-density fibreboard)—ideal for tough industrial environments. These trolleys are perfect for transporting tools, spare parts or boxed goods across production areas or between workbenches. To get even more from your trolley, you can add accessories like clipboard holders, tablet stands and tool hooks—making it easier to track inventory, take notes or organise kits on the move.

Shelving on wheels that supports visual access and quick loading

Open-sided shelf trolleys allow staff to quickly identify and reach stored items—especially helpful in fast-paced service areas like maintenance departments and warehouse packing zones. Some trolleys include raised edges or anti-slip shelf surfaces to stop items sliding off during transport—particularly useful when crossing uneven floors or ramps. You’ll also find models with slanted shelves for easier access to documents or containers, and versions with mesh or solid sides for added containment. This makes them ideal for a range of settings, from offices to engineering floors, where contents vary but access speed is key.

Matching shelf trolley design to your workspace

The best shelf trolley depends on what you're carrying, where you're working, and how often it’s used. Smaller two- or three-tier trolleys are ideal for offices, clinics, or classrooms—perfect for paperwork, supplies, or light equipment. In kitchens and hospitality spaces, stainless steel shelf trolleys with wipe-clean shelves are popular for transporting food trays, dishes, or utensils. For larger warehouses or maintenance zones, four-tier shelf trolleys provide extra capacity and smoother handling over longer distances. Choose models with braked castors for added control in high-traffic areas like stockrooms or workshop corridors. In shared environments such as hospitals, labs or public sector buildings, colour-coded shelf trolleys can improve organisation and reduce confusion across departments. Whatever your industry—retail, logistics, education or facilities management—there’s a trolley to suit the way you work.
