Tub Trolleys with Lifting Device (Spring Rising Base)
3rd March, 2017 | by excitemediaOur Bin Trolleys with Lifting Device are an ergonomic solution that has been developed for various materials handling applications. They are designed to remain at waist height to minimise bending and lifting. As such, personnel does not need to reach into the tub to access products. Tuff Tub Trolleys help to reduce associated injuries from manual handling, stretching or straining.
The Bin Trolleys feature a cutaway section in the bin, as shown in the example pictures. This highlights the scissor lift spring mechanism that is used to raise the inside platform of the bin. Additionally, the zinc-plated base offers a range of spring tension loads. By incorporating this lifting mechanism into the trolley design, workers can access goods more simply and comfortably. The design also lessens user fatigue due to ease of movement.

Pallet Inverter Stationary Automatic
16th May, 2024 | by Matthew BrittainThis is the newly automatic pallet inverter designed by Toppy.
“The Game Changer” is equipped with two automatic pallet dispensers for non-stop cycle.
“The Game Changer” begins the pallet changing thanks to an operator that transport the load inside the automatic pallet inverter.
The operator activates the automatic pallet changer system via a push-button panel. Subsequently, the operator activates the upper platform through a push-button panel which blocks the product safely. At this point, is possible to activate the rotation of the load at 120°.
This operation is necessary for separating the old pallet from the product and facilitate the translation of the new pallet instead of the old one. You will end the operation by closing the upper platform and by rotating the load by 120° for returning into initial position.
For certain products such as bags, it is possible to replace the pallet without tipping the load by 120 °.

Folding trolley
17th May, 2022 | by support.gocreative
Choosing and using the right folding trolleyTrolleys come in a wide variety of styles, sizes, makes and models. Choosing the right trolley and using it safely is vital for occupational work health and safety. Making the right choice will help you eliminate or reduce risks to you and your team.
Learn more about the range of folding trolleys from Materials Handling today!
Understanding the law
The Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (OHS Act) and Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017 (OHS Regulations) lay out the responsibilities of employers and employees to comply with all legal obligations to workplace safety.
Some of the minimum requirements for trolleys of all kinds to ensure safe use in the workspace, include:
- Height adjustable spring or scissor base.
- Projecting handles.
- Clear height limit for loads and contents.
- Visible labels regarding load ratings and maximum item numbers.
- Working castors and wheels.
- Low resistance bearings.
Additionally, trolleys–along with all equipment–should be subject to regular maintenance and inspection checks.
Damaged trolleys should always be replaced or repaired before being used.
Choosing the right folding trolley
To ensure the health and safety of your workers, make sure you choose the right trolley based on the following factors:
- The task at hand.
- The materials or contents being transported.
- The physical capability and characteristic of the user.
- The layout of your work site, factory or warehouse.
- The distance that needs to be travelled.
- Gradients (slopes) in the workplace.
- Floor surface types.
- Presence of stairs and/or hallways and archways.
- Load characteristics of the trolley such as size, shape, weight and centre of gravity.
- How much the trolley will be used.
Why is choosing the right trolley so important?
Using the wrong sort of trolley or using a folding trolley incorrectly can cause a wide variety of injuries, most commonly musculoskeletal disorders. Fingers, toes, arms, legs and bodies can also be hit, crushed or otherwise harmed if safe precautions and usage procedures are not followed. Risk assessments
Your occupational work and health safety officer should run a risk assessment before using any new piece of equipment.
This assessment will include both an appraisal of the folding trolley or item in use and will include consultation with workers to ensure pre-existing physical and health conditions are known. Ongoing training in the use and servicing of trolleys and other machinery is very important for ensuring safety and minimising risks.
In the event that there is a workplace accident, having an emergency or medical protocol in addition to a first aid kit and first aid officer nearby, is not just an ethical obligation but a legal requirement.
Understanding the characteristics of your load
An essential part of understanding how to use your chosen folding trolley is knowing what sort of materials and loads can be safely transported using the trolley.
Hazardous substances – transporting or working with hazardous materials requires extra careful safety procedures.
Predictability – inanimate objects are less likely to be unpredictable compared to animals or people.
Fragility – how fragile is the load being carried and how can you minimise the risk of damage?
Weight – the weight, including weight distribution, will make a significant impact on how you use your trolley.
Temperature – is the load of an extreme temperature that could add risk to it being transported.
Hygiene – especially important for clinical or health settings.
Know your workers
Your team members will all have different characteristics. From height to vision, there’s a wide range of capabilities. For example, you might want to consider a trolley with vertical handles or you might need a trolley of a specific width and height to be safe to use for your employees.
To prevent injury, employees should be trained in safely using the folding trolley and have a working understanding of the different types of physical force that operating the trolley will require.
We are here to help you find the ideal and right folding trolleys for effortless movement around the workplace. Feel free to contact one of our consultants today to make the selection process easier for you.
