400 Series High-Sided Platform Trolley, 500 kg

High-sided platform trolley 500 kg for everyday warehouse movement

This 500 kg platform trolley is built for regular internal transport where weight, repetition and mixed loads are part of the routine. Instead of a bare flatbed, you get a reinforced deck, surrounding side panels and a wheel layout that keeps the trolley steady under load. It is a simple product, but it solves a very practical problem well. You get better load retention without overcomplicating short internal moves. The trolley stays easy to load, yet gives noticeably more containment than an open deck trolley.

Why high sides matter in daily use

A standard flatbed can be enough when every load is large, stable and neatly stacked. Real working days are not always like that. Cartons, bins, parts boxes and mixed stock can all move around when the trolley starts, stops or changes direction. The high-sided platform trolley reduces that problem by giving the load area clear edges, so goods are less likely to creep outward in normal handling. When the load stays together, the operator spends less time steadying goods by hand and more time getting on with the next job.

Strong deck, sensible loading height

The load platform sits at 260 mm. That means a working height that stays comfortable enough for routine loading and unloading, while still keeping the platform clear of the floor. The deck is reinforced with 2 mm galvanised steel sheet, which gives the trolley a durable contact surface for repeated handling of heavier goods. That reinforcement matters because this type of trolley is rarely bought for occasional light work. It is usually expected to carry stock, components and goods day after day. The stronger deck helps it stay ready for that kind of routine.

Powder-coated steel frame for busy environments

The frame is powder-coated steel, chosen for workplaces where knocks, scrapes and constant handling are simply part of the day. In a warehouse or production area, transport equipment gets used hard. A sturdy frame helps the trolley keep doing its job without becoming a weak point in the process. Together, the reinforced deck and robust frame make this platform truck with side panels a dependable option for businesses that want a straightforward manual trolley for regular internal transport.

Laminate side panels keep mixed loads better contained

The laminate side panels are one of the most practical parts of the design. They help keep cartons, bins and smaller parts on the trolley during movement, and they also make the trolley better suited to mixed loads than an open platform. When different goods travel together, the sides create a more defined transport area and reduce the chance of items shifting out toward the edges.

Wheel setup designed for steady handling

The trolley is fitted with four Ø200 mm wheels: two fixed and two swivel solid rubber castors. This is a proven layout for manual transport equipment because it gives a good balance between straight tracking and everyday manoeuvrability. The fixed wheels help the trolley hold its line on longer runs, while the swivel wheels make it easier to guide around shelving, workstations and tighter corners. Solid rubber castors are a practical choice for regular indoor use in warehouses, production facilities and stockrooms. They support smooth movement and stable handling when the trolley is loaded, while the 200 mm diameter helps the trolley roll with more confidence across typical industrial floors.

Two sizes for different load footprints

The 400 Series 500 kg platform trolley is available in two overall sizes:

• 1000 x 700 x 900 mm
• 1200 x 800 x 900 mm

Braked or non-braked to suit the route

Workplaces do not all handle goods in the same way. Some want the simplest possible setup for level indoor routes. Others prefer the added control of brakes during loading, unloading or temporary parking. The 400 Series high-sided platform trolley is available either way, so the trolley can be matched more closely to the site and the way it is used.
