Platform Trucks & Trolleys

Platform trolleys are an invaluable tool for streamlining material transport in commercial and industrial settings. The right platform truck reduces manual handling injuries, improves productivity, and keeps operations running on schedule. With durable construction and heavy-duty wheels, these trucks and trolleys withstand daily use while keeping staff and materials safe.

Industry Use and Application

Moving large, heavy items by hand creates risk for workers and slows down operations. Platform trucks improve efficiency in material handling by giving teams a reliable way to transport goods without lifting or carrying. Heavy-duty platform trolleys are built to withstand demanding work environments while keeping personnel and goods safe throughout the process.

Platform trolleys offer unmatched efficiency in moving heavy loads. They reduce manual handling injuries and enhance workplace productivity across different industries. Choosing the right platform truck depends on your business's specific requirements, including load capacity, wheel size, and the types of materials you need to transport.

Towable Platform Trucks for High-Volume Transport

Large facilities, such as warehouses and manufacturing facilities, need to move heavy loads over long distances quickly. The Towable Platform Truck handles up to 2,500 lb. and allows teams to tow up to 3 trucks at once using the heavy-duty tow bar and hitch. Its Duramold™ Deck uses a precision-engineered resin-and-metal composite that is lighter than typical steel or wood products while maintaining strength.

For pallet-based transport, the Towable Pallet Cart is compatible with all standard wooden and plastic pallets up to 48”x48”. A patented handle with variable grip heights suits a wide range of user heights for manual pushing. Both towable trucks support maximum efficiency when transporting goods across large facilities.

Motorized Platform Trucks for Reduced Worker Strain

Long shifts and heavy loads create cumulative fatigue that slows workers down. The Motorized Kit, powered by PROPWR™ batteries, helps move heavy loads up to 1,000 lbs. Two motorized 10” drive wheels reduce the strain experienced by users when pushing heavy trucks over long distances.

The centralized control system features variable speeds from 0–3 mph with forward and reverse settings. A removable key prevents unauthorized use. Substituting manual power for battery power helps teams regain time lost to fatigue over the course of a shift. This is the perfect solution for operations that require robust, reliable transport of heavy items across large environments.

Heavy Duty Platform Trolleys for Industrial and Retail Environments

Warehouses, construction sites, and retail environments demand platform trolleys that can handle oversized items without slowing down. The Heavy Duty Platform Truck supports up to 1,000 lb. and features a variable grip-height handle that improves control and worker safety. Its powder-coated steel frame is virtually maintenance-free with a hard finish tougher than conventional paint.

Two fixed casters and two swivel casters give this heavy-duty platform truck improved maneuverability in tight spaces. Four molded tie-down slots secure loads during transport. Durability and reliability are built into every detail, making this truck a practical choice for moving large, heavy goods across demanding work environments.

Sheet and Panel Trucks for Bulky Items

Transporting goods like doors, lumber, drywall, tables, and cubicle walls requires a truck designed for oversized, hard-to-handle materials. The Sheet and Panel Truck has a 2,000-lb capacity and three removable powder-coated steel vertical frames that provide support for bulky loads. Frames can be removed as needed based on load requirements.

Built-in tie-down slots secure loads during transport. A textured surface greatly reduces slippage. The Duramold™ resin-and-metal composite deck provides maximum load support with sturdy construction that holds up in warehouses and manufacturing operations.

Side-Panel Platform Trucks for Easy Access Loading

Some loads need to be accessed from the side during transport. The Side-Panel Platform Truck features side-panel cutouts that provide easy access to the load. With 8” TPR casters and 1,000 lb. capacity, this platform flatbed trolley moves heavy loads in retail environments, construction sites, and commercial facilities.

The Duramold™ precision-engineered resin-and-metal composite structure provides maximum load support. Its robust design suits operations where staff need to load and unload materials quickly without repositioning the entire truck.

Convertible Trucks and Flatbed Trolleys for Flexible Operations

Facilities that handle various sizes of equipment and materials benefit from trucks that adapt to different tasks. The Convertible Utility Cart and Platform Truck converts from a utility cart to a platform truck in seconds. Push buttons depress to convert, and a foot pedal folds the cart for easy storage. Rear wheel locking casters keep the cart safely in place while loading and unloading.

For lighter transport jobs, the Triple Trolley with Straight Handle efficiently moves large, bulky loads and folds flat for easy storage. Its three-position folding handle lets users push, pull, or fold flat for use as a dolly. Non-marking castors and a nonskid platform surface protect floors and load materials. These flatbed trolleys give teams the flexibility to suit changing operational needs throughout the day.
