Benefits of a 500kg Platform Truck
Reduce Manual Handling

Excellent Manoeuvrability
The combination of two swivel castors and two fixed castors allows the truck to be turned in a tight area. Its ability to turn almost within its own length makes it especially useful where warehouse aisles, workshop spaces or loading areas have limited room.
Large Loading Surface
The 1000 x 600mm platform deck provides plenty of space for transporting bulky boxes, equipment, tools and other workplace materials while maintaining a relatively compact overall footprint.
Heavy-Duty 500kg Capacity
With a 500kg maximum load capacity, this platform truck is designed for demanding material handling applications where a standard lightweight trolley may not provide sufficient capacity.
Durable Steel Construction
The all-steel welded frame is designed to withstand regular use in commercial and industrial environments, making this a suitable choice for businesses requiring dependable material handling equipment.
Solid Wheels for Workplace Use
The 160mm solid wheels provide a durable wheel solution for suitable warehouse, workshop and industrial flooring, helping the trolley move reliably under load.
