1. What is a tool trolley and what are its advantages?

Workshop tool trolleys can store tools in a quickly accessible and convenient workspace. Depending on the model, you can expect a robust workbench and various storage options such as drawers and cabinets. Unlike a standard tool cabinet, a workshop trolley on wheels is designed for mobility and flexible use. Conveniently transfer equipment and tools from one job site to another with the help of ergonomic push handles and robust fixed or swivel castors. This is particularly helpful in companies or workshops where work is carried out at various stations and areas of operation.

As in a standard storage cabinet, tools can be organized efficiently and with quick access, allowing for simplified working conditions. With retrofittable dividers for drawers, you can also clearly sort small parts and accessories. In addition, all stored equipment is protected from dust, dirt and wear.

• What does the maximum load capacity of the workshop trolley need to be?
• What material properties are necessary?
• What different storage options should the workshop tool trolley offer?

• Is a storage surface sufficient or is a robust worktop desired?

5. Other important selection criteria before buying a workshop trolley

In order to put together a tool trolley that is suitable for your needs, here are some other criteria that you might want to consider before making a decision:

Carrying capacity

If you want to place solid workpieces on the tool trolley or store heavy equipment in it, you should pay attention to the load-bearing capacity of the individual elements: These include the load capacity of each individual drawer, the worktop, and the total weight capacity.

For this reason, the load capacity of tool trolleys must be appropriate for the intended use: While workshop trolleys with a total load capacity of up to 150kg are usually sufficient for hobby use or occasional use in industrial operations, a heavy-duty trolley designed specifically for a professional workshop can have a load capacity of between 500 and 1000kg.

In addition to a high load capacity the latter also offers plenty of storage space. In this case, it can be helpful to estimate the number of tools, along with the corresponding weight as accurately as possible in advance, to determine the required maximum capacity.

Material

The tool trolleys in our range are made of steel (powder-coated or stove-enamelled). The material meets the highest requirements for durability, resistance and versatility and offers many advantages:

• Highly durable
• Dimensionally stable
• Extremely corrosion-resistant
• High impact resistance
• High load capacity

Many of the tool trolleys in our online shop feature a drawer with a roll-off edge and, depending on the version, a non-slip rubber mat. Depending on the model, the shelves are made of sheet steel, plywood or plastic with storage inserts. The Storage area can be used for holding tools and workpieces or can also withstand light assembly work (model dependent).

Layout and equipment of the tool trolley

To ensure that the tool trolley fits your needs as precisely as possible, you will find models with a range of configurations and layouts. Various elements can be customised and combined to create a tailored storage solution:

Drawers

A workshop trolley with drawers allows tools and small parts to be stored neatly and safely. The number, size and height of the drawers can all be customised based on your needs. With us, you can buy tool trolley configurations with up to 10 drawers in a range of heights and configurations. Additionally, non-slip inserts help to ensure your equipment is always at hand. As well as the number of drawers, the following parameters must also be taken into account:
