Outdoor Trolleys

Most trolley applications are within the facility. But if you have applications that require trolleys that can handle the outdoors, we have a special selection of outdoor trolleys that can handle the demanding conditions and harsh environmental conditions that come with working outdoors.

Having the right outdoor trolley can make handling items, goods, and other tasks efficient and less physically taxing, allowing your employees to be more productive for longer hours. However, you need to pick the right outdoor trolley to suit your needs first.

Benefits of an Outdoor Trolley

A carefully selected outdoor trolley can transform your approach to handling and how you move items and loads within your warehouse. It can offer a wide range of benefits, including the following:

Efficient Transportation

Handling loads outdoors is even trickier than handling them indoors. The surface can be unpredictable, and there are more hurdles. In many cases, you have to carry the items over a longer distance. This makes finding more efficient transportation solutions crucial to maintaining efficiency in your operations, and outdoor trolleys can come in handy.

The trolleys are fitted with features such as large wheels to overcome the terrain and make moving the items easier and more effortless. Most outdoor trolleys are capable of handling more items than a person would, allowing you to move more in a single trip than several employees would.

Reduce physical strain

Outdoor trolleys will not only improve efficiency but also reduce the effort employees have to put in to move the load. The reduced physical strain reduces the risk of back and other injuries associated with overexertion and repetitive use. This benefit can also help reduce the number of sick days employees require and the amount of money lost as a result.

Versatility

Outdoor trolleys are incredibly versatile. They can be used to carry a variety of things, including equipment, tools, and other boxed items. You should choose an outdoor trolley that is capable of handling the equipment or loads you deal in. However, there are options that are more “open-ended” and can be considered a jack of all trades, allowing you to carry a wide range of items and maximise the use of the trolley.

Save time

If you’re looking to save time, shorten delivery times and increase customer satisfaction in your operations, outdoor trolleys may hold the key. With outdoor trolleys, workers can fetch more items on each trip and deliver them in a shorter time. It’s the ultimate addition that won’t cost you a small fortune but will still deliver reasonable and noticeable results.

What Matters When Choosing An Outdoor Trolley

We carry several types of outdoor trolleys, including manual handling trucks, container rolls, hand trucks, and shelf trolleys. Each has a different design and features suited to specific applications.

Because trolleys are different, it is important to pick the right one for your operations. You should know the factors that will help you choose the right outdoor trolley for your applications. Here are a few factors you can use for guidance.

Capacity

Capacity will be a considerable factor when choosing the right outdoor trolley. Different industries handle different loads with varying weights, which makes getting the capacity right for you. When considering capacity, you should consider how much load you want to carry on a trip and how often you will use the trolley.

You may need one that can carry a lot of weight or a lightweight option. If you plan to use the cart for big hauls, like transporting heavy boxes, you should go for a heavy-duty outdoor trolley with a high weight capacity.

On the other hand, you might need a trolley that you can shove into a lorry and take with you to help with offloading. In this case, it should also be lightweight so it doesn’t significantly increase the logistics costs.

Size

After considering the trolley’s capacity, the next step should be considering its size. Just like the trolley’s capacity, the right size depends on what you want to handle. You can find outdoor trolleys that come in all shapes and sizes to handle different types and sizes of loads.

The ideal size should not be too small or too big. You also want to consider how many items you want to move on each trip. The goal is to be as efficient as possible and take the least trips possible.

At the same time, you want the trolley to be easy to store when you’re not using it. If storage is a huge concern for you, you should consider getting a collapsible or foldable trolley. You should also consider foldable options if you want to travel with the trolley.

Wheels

Wheels are a big deal for outdoor trolleys. You need wheels that match the type of terrain in which the trolley will be used. You also want to make sure that the wheels are durable and can handle the trolley’s weight.

More importantly, the wheels need to be sizeable enough to manoeuvre the terrain. For rough terrain, you can choose trolleys with rubber or pneumatic wheels that will make it easier to overcome different hurdles outdoors. If you’re using the trolley on multiple terrains, you may need a trolley with all-terrain wheels.

Some trolleys also have swivel wheels, which are helpful if you need to make sharp turns without much effort.

Handle

The handle is often overlooked when buying an outdoor trolley. But it is just as important because it dictates the safety and comfort of using the trolley. You want to make sure that it is comfortable to hold and that it is the right size for you.

The handles come in different sizes, with some options available in adjustable handles. If the trolley will be used for long periods, you want to make sure it is comfortable to hold.
