What should you consider when purchasing a Chair Trolley?

When buying a Chair Trolley, several factors should be considered to ensure you choose the most suitable trolley for your needs.

Chair Trolley Type

The first major consideration is the type of trolley.

• If you're moving stackable chairs, then our chair shifter trolleys are the best option. These two-wheeled trolleys work like sack truck by scooping stacks of chairs under the feet to move them to where needed.
• For folding chairs, use our specially designed folding chair transport trolleys. Depending on your chosen model, these can serve as a trolley and storage rack for up to 204 chairs.

Both types of chair trolley have their advantages, and the choice depends on the type of chairs you need to move, and whether mobility or storage is a priority.

Number of Chairs to Move or Store

Another crucial aspect is the number of chairs you intend to move or store. Different trolleys have varying capacities. For instance, some trolleys can hold up to 20 chairs, while others can store twice as many. It's essential to estimate the number of chairs you'll usually need to move to ensure the trolley you choose can accommodate your needs.

Moving Chairs up Stairs?

Finally, the terrain or floor where the chairs will be moved should also be considered. If you must transport chairs up and down stairs, a stair climber chair trolley would be the best choice. It's specially designed to navigate stairs and uneven surfaces, making the transportation of chairs more manageable and safer.

Remember, purchasing a Chair Trolley is an investment in efficiency and safety. Therefore, carefully considering your specific requirements will lead to a selection that best suits your needs and circumstances.
