How to Choose the Right Warehouse Trolley
Choosing the wrong trolley creates two problems: inefficiency from an undersized unit, and a safety risk from an overloaded one. After 50 years supplying material handling equipment across Australia, our team has identified five questions that narrow down the right trolley for almost every application:
1. What is your maximum load weight?
Every trolley has a Safe Working Load (SWL). Always select a trolley rated at least 20–25% above your typical load weight to account for dynamic loads during movement. Our range covers from 100 kg light-duty through to heavy-duty units rated at 810 kg and above.
2. What are you moving?
Flat, stable loads (cartons, boxes) suit a platform trolley. Varied small parts and pick-and-pack work suits an order picking trolley. Tall or unstable items suit an multi-tier trolley with sides. Bagged or loose bulk materials suit a big bin trolley.
3. What is your floor surface?
Smooth sealed concrete — standard rubber or polyurethane wheels work well. Uneven concrete, gravel, or expansion joints — specify pneumatic or large-diameter wheels. Wet areas or food production — stainless steel construction and non-marking wheels.
4. How far are loads travelling?
Short distances (under 20 m) — manual trolleys are appropriate. Medium distances across large warehouses — consider a powered trolley or tug to reduce fatigue and injury risk. Long-distance or high-volume — powered tug with trailing trolleys is the most efficient solution.
5. Are there height or access constraints?
Low doorways, racking aisles, and lift dimensions all affect which trolley will actually fit your facility. Measure your narrowest aisle and lowest obstruction before ordering.

Warehouse Trolley FAQs
What is the best warehouse trolley for general-purpose use?
For most warehouses, a 200–450 kg steel platform trolley is the most versatile option. It handles cartons, equipment, and loose loads across smooth concrete floors. If you regularly move smaller mixed stock, an order picking trolley with bin inserts will be more efficient. Call 1300 774 872 if you're unsure.
How do I know which load capacity to choose?
Weigh your heaviest typical load and choose a trolley rated at least 20–25% above that figure. This accounts for dynamic loads during movement and extends the life of the trolley. Never operate a trolley at or beyond its SWL.
Do you offer free shipping on warehouse trolleys?
Yes — standard free shipping applies to qualifying online orders delivered to metro areas in NSW, VIC, and QLD. Freight to regional areas is quoted at checkout. See our freight page for full details and current thresholds.
Can I collect my trolley from your warehouse?
Yes. Click & Collect is available from our Wetherill Park NSW facility (79–85 Cowpasture Rd) Monday to Friday, 8:30am–4:00pm. Select this option at checkout.
Do you sell trolleys to government agencies and schools?
Yes. We accept government purchase orders from councils, hospitals, universities, and other public bodies. Contact us at our contact page or call 1300 774 872 to arrange.
What is the difference between a stock trolley and a platform trolley?
A platform trolley has a flat open deck for loose or boxed loads and is manoeuvred freely. A stock trolley (or roll cage) has mesh sides that contain the load — ideal for retail replenishment where stock needs to stay secure during movement and can be taken directly to the sales floor.
Do you supply replacement wheels and castors for trolleys?
Yes. Reflex Equip carries an extensive range of replacement wheels and castors including light duty, medium duty, heavy duty, stainless steel, pneumatic, and high/low temperature rated options.
Can you supply custom trolleys for unusual applications?
Yes. Our representative service handles custom projects including non-standard dimensions, unusual load ratings, food-grade requirements, and specialty materials. Contact our representative service to discuss your requirements.
