Whether you're moving heavy items, restocking supplies, or transporting sensitive equipment, aluminium trolleys provide a high-strength yet lightweight solution that’s built to last – even in harsh Australian conditions.

 

Why Aluminium Trolleys Are Useful

At Verdex, we understand aluminium trolleys offer the best of both worlds: strength and lightness. Unlike steel, aluminium is naturally rust-resistant and significantly lighter, making it easier to manoeuvre without compromising durability.

These features make aluminium trolleys especially valuable in environments where hygiene, portability, and long-term reliability matter most. Whether you're:

  • Delivering meals in a hospital or aged care facility

  • Transporting components in a warehouse or workshop

  • Stocking shelves in retail

  • Organising tools on a job site

  • Or moving documents and equipment in an office

Aluminium trolleys help get the job done more efficiently – while reducing wear on your staff and equipment.

 

Key Benefits

Lightweight but Strong

Aluminium’s low weight makes trolleys easier to push, lift, and store – reducing fatigue and strain on workers. Despite their lightness, they can handle impressive load capacities, often between 150kg and 300kg.

Corrosion-Resistant

Naturally rustproof, aluminium trolleys are ideal for use in wet, outdoor, or hygiene-sensitive environments like kitchens, hospitals, and laboratories.

Low Maintenance

Aluminium doesn’t flake, corrode, or stain like some metals. It’s easy to clean, making it perfect for areas requiring strict sanitation protocols.

Easy to Manoeuvre

Fitted with smooth-rolling wheels and ergonomic handles, these trolleys glide easily across most surfaces – even when fully loaded.

Multi-Industry Use

Used across countless sectors including healthcare, warehousing, education, hospitality, aged care, and manufacturing. A smart solution for any setting.

 

Popular Types of Aluminium Trolleys

Our aluminium trolley range includes various styles to suit different operational needs. Here are some of the most in-demand types:

1. Flatbed Aluminium Trolleys

Designed with a single, our flatbed platform trolleys are ideal for transporting boxes, crates, and bulky equipment. Often used in warehouses, back-of-house areas, and logistics.

2. Multi-Tier Aluminium Trolleys

Our range of tier trolleys feature two or more shelves for vertical storage and transport of smaller items or trays. Great for kitchens, aged care, and medical facilities.

3. Foldable Aluminium Trolleys

Our foldable trolleys allow space-saving design with collapsible frames for easy transport and storage. Ideal for mobile professionals, couriers, or event setups.

4. Cage and Sided Trolleys

Meanwhile, some of our cage trolleys Include mesh or solid aluminium side panels to secure larger or loose items during transit. Perfect for parcel handling or laundry operations.

5. Custom and Modular Aluminium Carts

Trolleys with added features like lockable drawers, bins, or tool holders – tailored for technical and trade-based work.

 

How to Choose An Aluminium Trolley

Selecting the right trolley for your workplace ensures maximum value, safety, and performance. Here’s what to look for:

Load Capacity

Match the trolley’s load rating to your specific needs. Most aluminium trolleys carry between 150kg to 300kg safely, but heavy-duty models can go higher.

Wheel Type

Choose castors based on your surface type and mobility needs:

  • Rubber Castors: Quiet and smooth – perfect for indoor use

  • Polyurethane Castors: Tough, chemical-resistant, and ideal for industrial floors

  • Pneumatic Castors: Suited for uneven or outdoor terrain

  • Locking Castors: Keep the trolley stationary when needed for safety

Size & Shelf Configuration

Consider how much space you have and what you’re moving. Ensure shelf heights accommodate your items and that the overall dimensions fit through your doors and pathways.

Finish & Hygiene

Aluminium’s smooth surface is easy to wipe down and sanitise – making it a great option for food service, medical, or sterile settings. Some of our other popular ranges include stainless steel trolleys and plastic trolleys, both suitable for different applications.

Assembly & Storage

Flat-packed models are easy to assemble and can save on freight costs. Folding options are great for workplaces with limited storage space.

 

Workplace Safety Tips When Using Aluminium Trolleys

While aluminium trolleys help reduce manual handling strain, safe usage is still essential. Keep these safety tips in mind:

  • Do not exceed the trolley’s rated load capacity

  • Always distribute weight evenly to maintain balance

  • Push, don’t pull – for improved control and to reduce strain

  • Secure loose or tall items using straps or cages

  • Use locking castors when parked on inclines or when loading/unloading

  • Keep floor surfaces clean and clear of trip hazards

  • Conduct regular checks for wheel wear or structural damage

Aluminium trolleys are used in a wide variety of work environments thanks to their lightweight design, hygiene benefits, and ease of use. Here’s how they support daily tasks across sectors:

Warehousing & Manufacturing

Move tools, parts, and equipment easily across production zones, reducing downtime and manual handling fatigue.
