STS Stainless Trolleys

• Used for internal transport of raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods within food processing facilities.
• Suitable for moving ingredients and components between different stages of production in pharmaceutical plants.
• Employed in catering and hospitality for transporting food items, dishes, and kitchen equipment.
• Utilised in laboratories for moving samples, apparatus, and supplies safely.
• Applicable in cleanroom environments for material handling where hygiene is paramount.

Typical construction material

High-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316), offering corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.

Typical load capacity

For this class of equipment, individual trolleys commonly handle loads ranging from 50 kg to 250 kg, depending on design and wheel specification.

Number of shelves/tiers

Units of this type typically feature between one and four shelves, or a bin-style design.

Wheel type

Commonly fitted with swivel castors, often with braking mechanisms, made from materials such as nylon, rubber, or polyurethane for different floor types.

Overall dimensions

Dimensions vary significantly, but typical footprints range from 600mm x 400mm to 1200mm x 800mm, with heights between 800mm and 1800mm.

Power supply

These are unpowered, manual handling units.

Lab organisation and storage equipment is valued for maximising workspace efficiency and protecting sensitive materials from contamination. Buyers typically prioritise durability, proper shelving capacity, and chemical resistance when purchasing used units. Industry sentiment favours equipment with adjustable configurations to accommodate evolving laboratory needs. Common strengths include robust construction and long operational lifespan when maintained correctly. When buying used, inspectors should examine structural integrity, verify compatibility with existing lab layouts, and confirm any specialised coating or material specifications remain intact for intended applications.
