Choosing a trolley
When choosing a trolley, you need to consider the following:
- The purpose for the troller
- The supplies being loaded
- Your own strength and abilities to move it around
- The work area and layout
- The environment in which the trolley will be used
- Dimensions of the load, such as its size, shape, weight, and centre of gravity

- a stacking height restriction
- a prominent marking indicating the load rating in kilograms
- castors and wheels that are appropriate for the floor surface
- Bearings with a low resistance
