How much can a sack truck carry?

The models here are rated 150-300 kg. Size against the total weight loaded at once rather than the heaviest single item.

How does a stair-climbing sack truck work?

A three-wheel star arrangement rotates the wheels in turn on each step, taking the load up without tipping it. It is the practical answer for deliveries into buildings with no lift.

What capacity platform trolley should I choose?

Size it against the total weight going on the deck. 150-350 kg suits daily office and retail moves; 500-1,000 kg suits warehouse and in-plant handling.

Will a drum trolley lift a full 200-litre drum?

Yes — the 450 kg model here lifts a full 200-litre drum without tipping it and tilts it under control.

Which wheels should I choose?

Nylon gives the lowest rolling resistance on hard, flat floors. For rough ground, thresholds and outdoor use, pneumatic or rubber wheels absorb the vibration and protect both load and floor.

Trolleys & Platform Trucks

Not every load fits a pallet. A sack truck lets one person move boxes, sacks and cartons in balance; a platform trolley collects bulky, awkward loads on a flat deck. The range here runs from 90 kg to 1,000 kg and covers sack trucks, platforms, parcel carts and drum trolleys.

Sack truck or platform trolley?

A sack truck balances the load on two wheels and turns in tight spaces, which suits tall, narrow loads. A platform trolley takes bulky, irregular loads — and several of them at once — on a flat deck.

Three-wheeled stair-climbing models take a load up steps without tipping it, which is the deciding difference for anyone delivering into buildings with no lift.

Trolley type	Capacity	Suits
Sack truck	150-300 kg	Boxes, sacks, cartons
Stair-climbing sack truck	150-200 kg	Deliveries without a lift
Parcel trolley	90-250 kg	Many small boxes at once
Platform trolley	150-1,000 kg	Bulky and irregular loads
Drum trolley	450 kg	200-litre drums

Capacity and wheels

Size capacity against the total weight going on the deck rather than the heaviest single item. Wheels follow the floor: nylon gives the lowest rolling resistance on hard, flat surfaces, while pneumatic or rubber wheels absorb vibration on rough ground and protect the load.
