A logistically well-managed warehouse is one that is equipped with all the necessary warehouse equipment and accessories. These undoubtedly include warehouse trolleys. Why are warehouse trolleys such an important piece of equipment, what types are there and how do you choose the best one?
In order for work to run smoothly in the warehouse, the right equipment is needed. The success of the business depends on it. In addition, efficient warehouse management involves minimising costs. Warehouse trolleys are a key piece of equipment.
Why are warehouse trolleys such an important piece of warehouse equipment?
The work of a warehouse operative consists of moving and transporting goods, which are often very heavy. Warehouse trolleys are therefore indispensable in every warehouse. Their proper selection is crucial in terms of health and safety, space saving and efficiency. To avoid overloading employees and dangerous accidents at work, it is worth investing in warehouse trolleys. Using them will make work easier and faster.
Warehouse trolleys come in many types, so they can be tailored to the needs of the business and the type of goods being stored.
Warehouse trolleys – types
You can find the following types of warehouse trolleys in the RAJA range:
- Pallet trucks,
- platform trolleys
- table trolleys
- Transport trolleys, including two-wheel transport trolleys.
Pallet trucks allow you to transport palletised loads in warehouses, production halls and storage yards. They make it easy to lift, lower and transport loads. They are equipped with a safety valve to protect against overloading. They are easy to operate and have an intuitive manoeuvring system. Models with electronic scales are also available.

In addition to traditional two-wheel transport trolleys, the RAJA range also includes folding models.
How to choose the right trolley for your warehouse?
The choice of a particular model should depend on the storage space, the structure of the premises, the type of goods stored and the activity carried out. In addition to the design of the warehouse trolleys, the technical parameters are also important, i.e. the maximum load capacity, the turning radius, the size of the loading space, as well as the accessories. The turning radius means easy or difficult manoeuvring, while the load capacity and the size of the loading area determine how much the forklift can lift. These are therefore very important parameters.
When choosing a forklift for a warehouse, it is important to look at the technical specifications and the load capacity and weight restrictions. Key factors in choosing a particular trolley include the type of product handled, the environment in which it will be used, flexibility and frequency of use. It is worth remembering that large warehouse trolleys can only be transported in service and goods lifts. If you need a trolley that will work in different situations, it is better to choose a versatile trolley. If the trolley is to be used to carry heavy loads frequently, then you should invest in a robust and reliable platform trolley made of good quality materials.
