Powered Shelf Trolley

Powered Shelf Trolley is part of our HI-POW range of powered trolleys, manufactured here in the Southwest, the pressures to meet and exceed safety requirements and to keep up with efficiency and productivity demands grows. The more Handle-iT’s Hi-POW high powered platform trucks and trolleys have revolutionised many of the UK and the world largest companies, the reviews and blog posts over the past 20 years speak volumes for our experience in this range. From Google to The King, From Coca Cola through to Astra Zeneca and over 80 NHS trusts and Universities, they all can’t be wrong… Note I didn’t add, HMRC, Parliament, and the House of Commons ?

This particular model was designed alongside EBC Brakes The world’s leading high performance brake manufacturer  (we thank them for their support) to aid in the order picking of their orders.  With the brake components being substantial in weight and volume, these Powered Shelf Trolley have become an integral part of their work.

User Interface

With an ergonomically positioned handle and robust user interface, the buttery fly throttle is perfectly positioned to provide 400w of high torque power directly through the transaxle. Intelligent battery indicators give clear LED light instruction to tell you the exact state of your battery charge, with a 20km range between charges this lets you know exactly when you need to return to base for a charge or battery swap. The variable speed adjustment allows you to set the trolley speed directly on the operator controls, allowing the operator to restrict the speed in certain areas. For instance, where there is a high volume of pedestrians to increase safety, and for further control, this parameter can be controlled and set at factory so the speed can be set anywhere between 1 min - 6 max kmph. The heavy-duty industrial steel casing for the user interface is IP54 Rated and then covered with a further moulded Perspex cover. Finally, the anti-trap button perfectly positions so that if it were to hit the operator the trolley would automatically brake and go into safety mode so that it couldn’t be moved without reset, stopping any operator getting trapped.

With the top shelf positioned at the optimum waist height to make the placing of even heavy load as safe as possible, it has 18mm WBP plywood surface, mounted in a picture frame constructed from 25mm x 5mm angle iron, giving a flush surface. The base unit is laser cut from a single piece of box section for additional strength and a curvaceous corner that is kinder to any ankles or walls that they may encounter compared to a mitred frame, and considerably stronger that a pressed sheet steel base. Under side, the battery is fully encased in a 2mm thick steel box, eliminating the risk of damage to any lead acid battery or even worse risking thermal runaway from a pierced lithium battery. The whole unit is controlled by our Curtis Microprocessors which is where the clever bit happens, controlling all the parameters within the trolley; acceleration, max speed, regenerative braking characteristics, amber warning beacons, even the audible warnings. Thyristor speed control system ensures the user is in total control. The more pressure you apply, the faster the trolley will move, reduce the pressure and the speed will reduce accordingly. There is no steeping through power steeps that you would get through a transistor control, smooth all the way.

As the HI-POW range is designed and manufactured here in the UK, if you want something a little different, just call the team and we can get the design together for you.
