Industrial Trolleys – Heavy-Duty Transport Solutions for Demanding Workplaces

Improve safety, increase productivity, and streamline materials handling with our rugged and reliable range of industrial trolleys. Built for heavy-duty use in warehouses, workshops, factories, and construction sites, these trolleys are designed to move bulky items, tools, and equipment with ease.

Whether you're transporting parts in a manufacturing plant, handling orders in a warehouse, or moving machinery on a job site, industrial trolleys offer the strength and functionality Australian workplaces depend on.

 

When Industrial Trolleys Are Needed

Standard trolleys often aren’t built to handle the harsh demands of industrial environments. Industrial trolleys are designed specifically for tough conditions, with reinforced frames, large castors, and high load capacities that ensure performance, durability, and safety.

Whether you’re:

  • Picking and packing in a logistics centre

  • Moving large tools or equipment in a workshop

  • Transporting building materials on-site

  • Managing inventory in a warehouse

  • Or setting up workstations in a production facility

Industrial trolleys from Verdex are an essential piece of equipment that help you do the job faster, safer, and more efficiently.

 

Key Benefits of Industrial Trolleys

Handle Heavy Loads with Ease

Our industrial trolleys support loads ranging from 200kg to over 1000kg, with heavy-duty frames and reinforced platforms that won’t buckle under pressure.

Built for Tough Conditions

Made from powder-coated or galvanised steel, stainless steel, or aluminium, industrial trolleys are built to withstand rough handling, heavy use, and exposure to chemicals, moisture, or outdoor elements.

Improve Workplace Safety

Reduce manual lifting and carrying with ergonomically designed trolleys that support safe handling and reduce injury risks.

Increase Efficiency

Streamline workflows in warehousing, production, and maintenance by reducing the number of trips required to transport parts, products, or tools.

Suitable for a Range of Industrial Applications

From manufacturing to construction, industrial trolleys come in various configurations to suit the task—flatbed, mesh-sided, tool storage, cage trolleys, and more.

 

Industrial Trolley Types

Our range includes heavy-duty trolleys designed for high-performance use across multiple industries. Here are some of the most in-demand types:

1. Platform Trolleys

Heavy-duty trolleys with a strong steel platform and large castors, ideal for transporting crates, boxes, and palletised goods.

2. Cage Trolleys

Mesh-sided or fully enclosed trolleys designed for transporting multiple items securely. Ideal for logistics, order fulfilment, or moving fragile goods.

3. Tool Trolleys

Designed with drawers, shelves, and lockable compartments to organise and transport tools in workshops, garages, or maintenance areas.

4. Multi Purpose Trolleys

General-purpose industrial trolleys with one or more handles for pushing or pulling. Commonly used in warehousing and factories.

5. Multi-Tier Shelf Trolleys

Feature multiple reinforced shelves for transporting sorted components, parts, or tools across manufacturing floors or service workshops.

 

Features To Consider

Choosing the right trolley ensures optimal performance and long-term value. Here’s what to consider:

Load Capacity

Make sure the trolley can support the heaviest load you’ll carry. Overloading a trolley not only reduces its lifespan but also poses safety risks.

Platform Size & Configuration

Choose a trolley size that accommodates your typical load size while still fitting through aisles, doorways, and loading bays.

Materials

  • Powder-Coated Steel: Durable, corrosion-resistant, and great for indoor or dry environments

  • Galvanised Steel: Excellent for use in damp, dirty, or outdoor areas

  • Aluminium: Lightweight yet strong—ideal for mobile work

  • Stainless Steel: Hygienic and rust-resistant—often used in clean or food-related environments

Castor Type

The right wheels make a big difference in performance:

  • Rubber Castors: Quiet and floor-friendly—great for indoor use

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

  • Pneumatic Wheels: Best for uneven surfaces and outdoor applications

  • Lockable Brakes: Add stability and safety during loading/unloading

Frame Design

  • Opt for mesh or cage sides to contain loose items

  • Look for fold-down or removable sides for versatility

  • Use reinforced corners and bumpers to protect goods and surroundings

 

Workplace Safety Tips

Industrial environments present unique safety risks, so using trolleys properly is essential for preventing injuries and damage:

  • Push instead of pull—this reduces the chance of strain and increases control

  • Always distribute weight evenly across the platform

  • Load heavy items on the bottom and lighter items on top

  • Don’t exceed the Safe Working Load (SWL)

  • Ensure brakes are engaged when loading or on inclined surfaces

  • Keep paths clear of debris, spills, or obstacles

  • Maintain castors, axles, and frames regularly to avoid failures

  • Train staff on safe manual handling and correct trolley use

 

Common Workplaces Where Industrial Trolleys Are Used

Industrial trolleys are used in countless industries to move goods, tools, and supplies more efficiently and safely. Common applications include:

Warehousing & Logistics

Used for picking and packing, stock movement, loading/unloading vehicles, and shifting palletised or boxed items across large spaces.

Workshops & Automotive

Tool trolleys and part trays keep essential equipment organised and mobile, supporting mechanics, technicians, and service crews.

Construction & Site Work

Transport building materials, power tools, fittings, or hardware across sites. Pneumatic-wheeled trolleys navigate gravel, dirt, and outdoor terrain.

Manufacturing & Assembly

Move work-in-progress items, tools, or components between production areas or stations with efficiency and reduced strain.

Facilities & Maintenance

Support maintenance teams with mobile carts fitted with bins, tools, ladders, or storage compartments for on-the-go fixes.
