Transport trolley in industry

Trolleys are used everywhere, where components and materials need to be moved. This can occur in transportation, warehousing, in the workshop, logistics and many other sectors. The design of a trolley is determined by what it will be used for. Basically, a transport trolley made out of a basic frame or a panel containing wheels. These wheels are able to turn 360°, which allows the transport trolley to be manoeuvred in a lot of different ways. In many cases, there are also various devices attached to the frame, in order to prevent the goods from falling off the trolley. Most models contain a hand grip used for moving the trolley; this can be fixed onto the trolley or mountable.

• Implemented everywhere, where materials need to be moved around

The most well-known models are those with a welded frame containing an optional coating of wood or other materials. These transport trolleys are available in a square or round form. The round shape is used for the transportation of barrels. The square plastic frames for storage containers are more often used for large containers. Thereby it is possible to comply with certain dimensions that are common in all industrial sectors. A special form of transport trolley is the motorised kind. These types of pallet trolleys contain an electric engine, which facilitate movement. Transport trolleys are useful for a large range of applications. Some contain a special construction which are used for specific tasks e.g. to carry tools for cutting machines. The advantage of these trolleys during an operation where many machines are used is that they save time; the specialised transport trolleys can be brought directly to the machine that is currently in operation.

Areas of application for transport trolleys

Transport trolleys can be implemented in a large variety of sectors. They are used for the loading of machines in halls as well as transporting away finished products. This means that diverse transportation needs can be completed without needing to use an overhead crane or forklift. It is possible to transport small components with a transport trolley and storage boxes. The trolleys specially designed to carry storage boxes usually contain an extra grip, because the boxes are stacked on top or within one another and thereby can be moved directly to the storage area. A traditional type of trolley that is still commonly used is the hand drawn cart. These contain a hand grip for a drawbar that can be steered, and often a lifting eye for a forklift. Another application is the transport trolley used for welded bottles.
