Hand Trolleys, Sack Trucks and Foldable Trolleys

Hand trolleys are essential for safe and efficient manual handling in warehouses, retail stores, workshops, offices and removalist operations. At AdMerch, we supply commercial-grade sack trucks, foldable hand trolleys, and multi-purpose designs that are built to last under industrial use. Whether you are moving cartons, whitegoods, crates or irregular items, our range of hand trucks ensures materials can be transported quickly and with less risk of strain.

Why Choose Commercial-Grade Hand Trolleys

Unlike cheap consumer models, commercial hand trolleys are engineered for higher weight capacities, frequent use and tougher environments. Heavy-duty frames, reinforced welds, puncture-proof wheels and ergonomic handles all contribute to safer handling and reduced downtime. A well-built sack truck or folding hand trolley not only improves productivity but also supports workplace health and safety compliance by minimising manual lifting.

Types of Hand Trolleys

Sack Trucks

Sack trucks, also called sack trolleys or sack barrows, are upright trolleys designed with a toe plate that slides under loads for lifting and rolling. They are widely used in warehouses, delivery fleets and retail backrooms. At AdMerch, our sack trucks include options with pneumatic tyres for rough surfaces, puncture-proof wheels for reliability, and different handle styles to suit operator preference.

Foldable Hand Trolleys

Folding hand trolleys are ideal for vehicles, offices and environments where space is limited. These foldable sack trucks collapse for storage but still provide robust load capacity when deployed. A foldable trolley is especially useful for service technicians, mobile workers and couriers who require professional handling equipment that can fit in a vehicle boot or storage compartment.

Multi-Purpose and Specialist Trolleys

In addition to standard sack trucks, AdMerch stocks specialised models including stair-climbing trolleys, folding crate trolleys, and platform hand trucks. Each is designed for specific load types or workplace layouts, ensuring the right equipment is available for the job.

Applications Across Industries

Hand trolleys are relied upon in many sectors. Removalists use sack trucks for appliances and heavy furniture. Retail staff use foldable trolleys to move cartons through narrow aisles. Warehouses and logistics hubs use heavy duty sack trucks for continuous load handling across shifts. Offices, schools and hospitals often use compact folding hand trolleys for moving supplies without requiring larger material handling equipment.

Safety and Workflow Considerations

Choosing the correct sack truck or folding trolley has a direct impact on safety and workflow. Wheel type determines how well the trolley handles over thresholds or uneven ground. Handle style affects operator control, particularly on ramps. Weight capacity should always match the heaviest loads being moved. Foldable designs reduce trip hazards by allowing trolleys to be stored neatly when not in use. Investing in the right hand trolley prevents workplace injuries, protects goods in transit and improves efficiency.

Buying Guide: Specifying Your Hand Trolley

• Load capacity: Match the trolley to your heaviest expected loads.
• Wheel type: Pneumatic tyres for outdoor use; puncture-proof wheels for reliability.
• Folding or fixed: Choose foldable trolleys where space or transport flexibility is needed.
• Frame design: Aluminium for lightweight portability, steel for maximum strength.
• Application: Removalist, warehouse, retail or office use may require different features.
