Platform Trucks are utilised in all kinds of industries due to their reliability, flexibility and ease of use. We have been making the same classic design for years using state of the art facilities, right here in The South West, and can safely say that it is one of the most durable and heavy duty design on the market. The standard design can be modified to provide a large number of options including increased sizes and capacities, a range of different side panels, dead man braking systems, full security systems, ATEX rated spark proofing, Integrated weighing scales, and even powered motor systems that eliminate any effort required to push the Platform Truck.

Built to BSEN Standards and supplied with a 5-year warranty, our platform trucks are built to be heavy duty, and last a lifetime. We can also make platform trucks to your exact needs and specification even down to the powder coated finish in your corporate colours in our onsite powder coating ovens. From a quick sketch of your idea, we give this to our in-house design team for full CAD design, to prototyping and changes for acceptance to delivery direct to your door. Whether it’s one or one thousand and one, we have all of the facilities required to make the right platform truck to suit you.

At Handle-iT, we live and breathe Platform Trucks and the health and safety of our customers. This ensures that working environments are safe, with less risk of workplace injuries and strains. Our classic design looked at the safety of the product by using high tech production methodology and high-tech laser cutting techniques. Using one single piece of box section to make the initial frame of the Platform Truck, leaving just the one weld. This reduces the likelihood for human error in the welding process with poor or even missed welds. The Platform Truck design also allows for beautiful, rounded corners, rather than mitred corners which leave hard sharp corners. These being more prone to damage your facility, products, but more important your colleagues. Making sure Handle-iT Platform Trucks are fail safe, as well as physically safe. This enabled us to be the first in the industry to offer a full 5-year warranty on our products to back our claims.

Our Platform Trucks have been constructed using high-quality materials, making it one of the most durable and heavy-duty options in the marketplace. The standard design can be modified to provide increased sizes and capacities, a range of different side panels, Deadman braking systems, full security systems, ATEX-rated spark proofing, integrated weighing scales, and even powered motor systems that eliminate effort required to push the trolley, increasing your productivity while reducing your risk.

Platform Trucks & Trolleys FAQs

What is the purpose of a platform trolley?

Platform trolleys are designed to reduce the hard physical labour of moving goods and objects, alleviating any strain on the part of an individual tasked with transporting items from one location to another.

 

There are many different types, each designed to assist with a particular job in mind.

 

Turntable trolleys have a high capacity and perform optimally over rough terrain thanks to their axle-mounted wheels and a robust steering mechanism. 

 

Meanwhile, double-sided trolleys allow people to separate a load accordingly. 

 

To source a platform trolley for your specific purpose, reach out to us today by dialling 01803 875222

What are the advantages of using a platform trolley?

Not only are platform trolleys cost-effective and efficient, but they are easy to operate. 

 

They are also incredibly stable, supplied with grips that guarantee stock does not fall – in turn reducing the risk of avoidable workplace injuries.

 

Platform trolleys can improve work efficiency and productivity, making awkward tasks simpler by affording swift and hassle-free transportation. 

 

Durable and built to last, they don’t need constant looking after or repair, making them a financially prudent choice too.
