Things to Consider
- Weight capacity: One of the most important factors to consider when purchasing a platform trolley is the load capacity. Ensure the trolley you choose can handle the maximum weight you intend to transport, as exceeding the weight limit can lead to accidents or damage to the trolley and its contents.
- Size and dimensions: Standard platform trolleys are designed to fit through doorways, but it's always a good idea to check the dimensions as we have a wide range of sizes available. If storage space is an issue, a foldable platform trolley might be the best option.
- Manoeuvrability and mobility: Look for models with features that enhance manoeuvrability and mobility, such as swivel castors or wheels that allow for easy turning and smooth movement. This will make it easier to navigate through tight spaces or around obstacles.
- Durability and construction: Assess the construction materials and build quality of the platform trolley to ensure it is sturdy and durable enough to withstand regular use and heavy loads. Consider factors like the material of the frame, platform, and wheels, as well as any reinforcement or additional support features.
- Ergonomics: Pay attention to the ergonomics of the platform trolley, including the handle design and height. Opt for trolleys with adjustable handles or ergonomic grips to minimise strain and promote comfortable operation for the user.
- Safety features: Look for platform trolleys that offer safety features such as brakes or locking mechanisms to prevent accidental movement or slippage. Additionally, consider trolleys with guardrails or edges to prevent items from falling off during transportation.
- Versatility and adaptability: Look for features like removable handles, adjustable platforms, or the ability to attach additional accessories or extensions for a versatile platform truck.
- Maintenance and cleaning: Evaluate the ease of maintenance and cleaning for the platform trolley. Consider factors such as whether it is easy to access and clean hard-to-reach areas, if the wheels are easily replaceable, and if the trolley requires any specific maintenance procedures to ensure longevity and performance.
