Trolleys

Industrial Trolleys for Australian Warehouses, Workshops and Trade Work

Industrial trolleys cover the wheeled transport equipment used to move materials, products, and equipment around workplaces — sack trucks for heavy single items, platform trolleys for larger loads, parts trolleys for organised material handling. For Australian warehouses, workshops, retail businesses, and trade contractors, the right trolley matched to the load and the operating environment is essential daily equipment. AIMS Industrial supplies industrial trolleys from MoveIt and approved brands.

The trolley types we stock

• Sack trucks (hand trucks) — two-wheel upright trolleys for moving stacks of boxes, drums, appliances
• Platform trolleys — flat-deck four-wheel trolleys for larger and bulkier loads
• Folding trolleys — collapsible designs for storage between uses
• Stair-climbing trolleys — for moving loads up and down stairs without lifting
• Drum trolleys — purpose-built for moving 200L drums
• Parts trolleys — multi-tier shelving on castors for parts staging and assembly
• Trolleys, dollies, and jacks — see also trolleys, dollies and jacks

Where each trolley type earns its place

• Sack trucks — single heavy items: boxes, appliances, drums; the everyday warehouse and retail trolley
• Platform trolleys — multiple boxes, large items, packaging that doesn't stack on a sack truck
• Stair-climbing — service deliveries to upstairs locations, equipment moves in stair-only buildings
• Drum trolleys — moving 200L oil and chemical drums in workshops and yards
• Parts trolleys — production line staging, kit assembly, organised parts movement

Capacity matching

Trolley load capacity is rated by the manufacturer — typically 100-150kg for light-duty consumer trolleys, 200-300kg for trade trolleys, 400kg+ for heavy-duty industrial trolleys. Match capacity to the heaviest load with appropriate safety margin. Don't overload — exceeding the rated capacity damages the trolley (bent frames, failed wheels, broken handles) and creates safety risk during the move.

Wheel selection

• Pneumatic (air-filled) wheels — softest ride, suit outdoor and uneven surfaces; can puncture
• Solid rubber wheels — quiet, smooth ride, no puncture risk; heavier than pneumatic
• Polyurethane wheels — quiet on smooth concrete, doesn't mark floors; the workshop favourite
• Foam-filled (flat-free) wheels — pneumatic-style ride without puncture risk; mid-cost option

Brands stocked at AIMS

MoveIt is the core brand for industrial trolleys at AIMS — practical workhorse trolleys at trade pricing for Australian warehouses, workshops, and trade contractors. Replacement wheels and parts are stocked alongside the trolleys themselves so equipment can be kept in service rather than replaced when only the wheels have worn.

Trolley care and maintenance

Trolleys are simple but benefit from basic maintenance. Periodically check wheel bearings (replace when they bind or rumble), inspect frame welds for cracks (particularly at handle attachment points), check pneumatic tyre pressure, and tighten any loose bolts. A trolley with a broken weld or failed wheel mid-load is a serious safety hazard — replace before failure rather than after.
