If you’ve tried trolleys and they don’t seem to work efficiently in your applications, or your space limitations make it challenging to manoeuvre a trolley, you should consider the alternative of a dolly trolley. The dolly trolley can reduce the fear of damaging your goods and also ease the strain of moving heavy loads around the warehouse or production floor without taking up as much space as a trolley.
But just like trolleys, dolly trolleys come in various shapes and sizes to suit different applications, preferences and requirements. The purpose of the dolly trolley is to ensure you get the best possible outcome from your applications while conserving as much space as possible.
Essentially, dolly trolleys are a type of equipment featuring a platform on wheels. The platform is designed to provide a higher level of stability and mobility than hand trucks, so you don’t have to worry about the items falling off during transit. Because of this design, the dolly trolley is best suited to handle heavier items, preferably those with a wider base to prevent tipping off.
As a leading supplier of storage and logistics items, LKE offers access to a wide range of dolly trolleys for different uses. Some of the options we have include the following:
Drum trolley dollies are made from heavy-duty metal and have raised sides. They are capable of moving large steel drums with ease. These dollies are commonly used in the transportation of items commonly stored in drums, such as oil, chemicals, and dry goods.
The drum dolly can be used in industrial and commercial applications, offering better manoeuvring even in tighter spaces. Another benefit is that the drum doesn’t have to be tilted back, which compromises balance. Placing the drum on the dolly can be done manually or with lifting devices, making this dolly an ideal choice for small and large operations.
Common applications of the drum dolly trolley are in the warehousing, manufacturing and industrial facilities and sectors.
The trash can dolly is quite similar to the drum dolly but with minor changes to the design and build. This dolly type allows staff to manoeuvre loaded trash and recycling cans around the facility easily. It can help to minimise cleanup time because there is minimal waste spill when using the dolly.
Trash can dollies have a slim design and a reduced footprint, making them easier to navigate in tight and narrow spaces. They also have swivel wheels, so they can go around tight corners and bends with minimal strain and space requirements.
Unlike drum dollies, trash can dollies have a lower weight capacity rating, which indicates their less robust build. They are commonly used in warehouses, restaurants, industrial facilities, and healthcare facilities.
This is not a common type of dolly largely because its operation is very specific to sectors that mainly handle chairs. Also known as chair carts, the dollies are designed to efficiently and conveniently store and transport chairs. Different types of chair dollies can be used to transport multiple types of chairs, such as folding chairs, barstools, and stackable chairs, at the same time. There are also types of chair dollies that can hold both chairs and tables to make the task even easier and more convenient.
Chair dolly trollies are commonly used in event rental businesses, banquet halls and catering services.
The keg dolly is another round trolley dolly. It is designed the same way as the drum dolly. It helps with moving full kegs in manufacturing or distribution. It can also be a great addition to bars, restaurants and other similar establishments. With the keg dolly, you can reduce the chances of dropping keg barrels and maximise efficiency in your operations, especially during peak times when you need to quickly take out the keg from your walk-in cooler and bring it to your bar.
The dolly can also make moving the barrels easy for your staff. Keg dollies are commonly used in breweries, bars, catering services, and restaurants.
Crate dolly trolleys are a highly versatile type of trolley dolly designed to work with different types of crates. Depending on the type of crate you want to handle, you can find a type of trolley dolly to pair it with.
Crate dollies can be used to handle goods stored in crates such as milk crates and euro stacking rates. They feature a rectangular shape with four casters and slightly raised sides to keep the crates in place when trying to manoeuvre around tight corners and through tight spaces. Crate dollies can help your staff complete their tasks faster and more efficiently with reduced physical impact and strain.
Because of its diverse applications, this type of dolly trolley is used in different industries, such as food manufacturing, distribution, restaurants, bakeries, and supermarket stores.
Choosing to invest in the right type of dolly trolley can have substantial benefits for your operations which include the following:
Sprains, open wounds, and chronic joint conditions are some of the common work-related injuries in commercial and industrial settings. These are commonly associated with manual lifting and carrying heavy objects.
With dollies, you can reduce these challenges and allow workers to move materials by simply pushing the dolly, which has less resistance and does not strain their backs.
Dolly trolleys can help reduce the incidence of injuries in your operations and absenteeism due to work-related injury issues. With your full team working, you can boost productivity and efficiency.
The dollies can also help employees improve their productive work hours because they reduce fatigue and allow employees to move more materials in each trip with reduced effort. The efficiency of the dollies also means that you can easily evacuate or stock your spaces more efficiently and within a shorter time.
Dollies have features and designs that help to ensure your materials are safe and secure during transit. If you have items that can easily fall off during transit, all you have to do is ensure you purchase the right dolly trolley with the right features and use it correctly to avoid this.
