Board Trolleys

What are Board Trolleys?

A board trolley is a manually operated workplace truck or trolley which is specially designed so that large boards (plasterboard, plywood, MDF etc) can be transported to where they are needed, efficiently and safely.

Boards, panels and other flat sheets are stacked upright on the Board Trolley and then wheeled to their destination on either castors or wheels, which makes manoeuvring really easy. 

What are the benefits of using a Board Trolley?

Board Trolleys are popular in construction sites, joinery shops, builders’ merchants and engineering workshops, as they offer these great benefits:

• Improved productivity - Board Trolleys allow boards and other large sheet materials to be moved quickly and efficiently
• Cost - A board trolley ensures the boards / sheet material arrives at the destination undamaged – no costly dents or chipped corners, and no need to wait for replacements
• Health and Safety - Heavy awkward boards can be moved safely, minimising the risk of accidents and longer-term injuries from manual handling. And because the boards are stacked upright, the amount of repetitive bending is reduced, as is the risk of trapped fingers in the boards

Which Board Trolleys are in the First Mats range?

If you need to move large quantities of plasterboard at once, the British made LoadAll Folding Plasterboard Trolley can carry 24 sheets of plasterboard safely and easily.

In the same range is the LoadAll Heavy Duty Board Trolley with Clamps, which can transport up to 750kg and the LoadAll Heavy-Duty Plasterboard Trolley which can handle a massive 1.5 tonnes. All of our LoadAll trolleys have an A frame design, which makes them very easy to manouevre, even through doorways and around corners.

If you need to carry piping and other long items, as well as boards, First Mats' Board and Long Goods Platform Trolley is ideal. This trolley is available with either timber or metal sides. 

For sites with no forklift or pallet trucks, our Heavy-Duty Multi-Purpose Board and Pipe Trolley can take on the heavy work, transporting up to 1,200kg of pallets, pipes, board, ducting and other bulky items.

And for moving heavy beams and steels, we recommend our specialist Beam Kart Panel Buggy, which can safely carry a total load of 500kg.
