HIGH QUALITY UK MANUFACTURING

In recent years, UK based manufacturers of trucks and trolleys have become vastly reduced as retailers rely more on international imports. At Workplace Products we are proud to manufacture high quality Platform Trucks here in the UK. This allows us to ensure a high level of quality control and offer bespoke designs. We can modify an existing UK made product or design a 2D or 3D bespoke prototype to meet your needs precisely.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLATFORM TROLLEY

They can be broken down into various categories based on their different attributes. These include the materials, the load capacity, general design and functionality.

Many of our lighter duty flatbed trucks are made from lightweight Aluminium. This makes them suitable for loading into the back of vans and cars with ease. Which therefore reduces long-term durability and load carrying capacity when compared with steel. Aluminium Platform Trolleys often come with a folding handle for easy storage and movement in and out of a vehicle or around a place of work. A folding platform truck makes for a more compact product but does compromise capacity and durability.

HEAVY DUTY PLATFORM TRUCKS

Pressed steel deck Platform trolleys offer the same compact advantages of a folding truck. They also offer a large load capacity through tougher materials and heavy items. In Industries including warehouses, catering environments, food production, pharmaceuticals platform trucks made from stainless steel or sometimes plastic ensure maximum cleanliness. Stainless and plastic are easy to clean down. This makes them ideal for areas with exceptionally high hygiene requirements. We also offer a wide range of products for this type of application. We also have budgets in mind to suit all our customer’s needs.

Lastly, at the top of the line you have our fully welded Transport Trolleys. Those platform trolleys are designed to be robust and secure. It will ensure that items on the trolley's platform are transported without being damaged. We manufacture these in the UK to ensure the best quality. They are also made from either powder coated or galvanised mild steel or stainless steel. Some of these trucks have a huge maximum load capacity of 1000kgs and come in a wide assortment of platform sizes. Our range of standard platforms is vast, but we can also manufacture to your specific requirements.

QUALITY COMPONENTS

High quality castors feature on all of our flatbed trolleys and the key to easy movement without, compromising health and safety. When moving heavy loads all unnecessary risks should be avoided, and manual handling training is vital. Quality castors and ergonomic designs will help users avoid any unnecessary injury that might come from using unwieldly equipment every day.
