Laundry and Linen Trolleys – Smart Solutions for Efficient Linen Management

Keep your linen operations clean, organised, and efficient with our range of laundry and linen trolleys. Designed for hospitals, aged care homes, hotels, commercial laundries, and housekeeping teams, these trolleys simplify the collection, sorting, and distribution of towels, sheets, uniforms, and garments.

With smooth mobility, hygienic materials, and durable frames, our laundry trolleys are a trolley built to meet the daily demands of high-turnover environments – helping you reduce manual strain, save time, and maintain a professional standard of cleanliness.

 

Why Choose a Laundry or Linen Trolley

Managing linen and laundry manually is time-consuming, labour-intensive, and prone to hygiene risks. Laundry and linen trolleys are designed to take the hassle out of the process, allowing staff to move large loads of clean or soiled linen quickly and safely between departments, rooms, or facilities.

Whether you’re:

  • Transporting fresh bedding in a hospital ward

  • Collecting dirty towels in a hotel

  • Sorting uniforms in a commercial laundry

  • Handling laundry in an aged care facility

  • Or supporting housekeeping operations in a resort

At Verdex, our trolleys offer ergonomic, practical, and hygienic solutions tailored for high-use environments.

Feature secure lids, zippered covers or doors to protect clean linen from dust or exposure during transit. Great for clinical and sterile environments.

For increased versatility to complement your business needs, we provide a wide selection of trolleys such as cage trolleys, platform trolleys, multi tier shelf trolleys, room service trolleys, linen skips, linen hampers and more.

 

How to Choose the Right Laundry Trolley

Selecting the right trolley depends on your setting, volume of linen, and workflow. Here’s what to consider:

Load Capacity

Check the trolley’s maximum weight limit. Smaller trolleys hold 50–100kg, while industrial models can support up to 200kg or more.

Size and Compartments

Choose the right number of shelves, bags, or compartments for your team’s daily needs. Consider narrow or foldable models for space-constrained areas.

Castor Selection

  • Rubber Castors: Smooth, quiet, and floor-safe

  • Large Rear Wheels: Better for outdoor transport or uneven floors

  • Swivel Castors: Improve manoeuvrability in tight spaces

  • Lockable Castors: Add stability during loading/unloading

Frame and Material

  • Stainless Steel: Hygienic, rust-resistant, ideal for hospitals or kitchens

  • Powder-Coated Steel: Durable and economical for general use

  • Plastic or Polymer: Lightweight and easy to clean

  • Canvas/Polyester Bags: Replaceable, washable, and tear-resistant

Additional Features

  • Lids or covers for hygiene

  • Bag supports to prevent sagging

  • Shelving for folded items

  • Removable liners for quick cleaning

  • Ergonomic handles for better grip

 

Workplace Safety Tips

Trolley use helps reduce lifting and carrying, but safe practices are still essential to protect staff and maintain compliance:

  • Do not overload the trolley – follow the weight guidelines

  • Push instead of pull for better visibility and posture

  • Keep pathways clear to prevent tripping hazards

  • Use brakes when loading, unloading, or on sloped floors

  • Train staff on correct handling techniques

  • Clean trolleys regularly to avoid contamination – especially in aged care and healthcare

  • Replace worn wheels or torn bags promptly to prevent accidents
