Warehouse racking

Handling equipment

Handling equipment covers everything that moves and prepares goods in the warehouse: trolleys and pallet trucks, hand trucks, roll containers, stackable containers and work-at-height equipment (steps, ladders, platforms). Kollirama supplies professional equipment sized to your loads and flows, as a complement to your racking.

  • Trolleys and pallet trucks
  • Hand trucks and roll containers
  • Steps and work at height

How should warehouse handling equipment be sized?

Select equipment from the real operation, not from one generic load figure:

Frequently asked questions

What handling equipment do you supply?

We supply handling trolleys, manual pallet trucks, hand trucks, roll containers, stackable containers and work-at-height equipment: steps, ladders and mobile individual platforms. Equipment is chosen to match your loads, flows and racking.

How do I choose between a hand truck, a trolley and a pallet truck?

A hand truck suits parcels and drums moved one at a time, a trolley suits loads on a platform, and a pallet truck handles full pallets. The trolley rating and selected model must be checked in its technical sheet; the available reference for manual pallet trucks is 2,000 to 2,500 kg depending on configuration.

Do you offer equipment for high-level picking?

Yes: professional steps, ladders and mobile individual platforms can be studied. Above head height, the choice must account for working height, stability, braking, intervention time and applicable rules; no generic compliance claim is made without the selected model's instructions.

How should warehouse handling equipment be sized?

Record load weight, dimensions and centre of gravity, movement frequency, gradients, floor type, aisle widths and picking heights. The final permitted load is the rating for the selected model and its instructions, not a universal threshold.

Will trolleys and pallet trucks fit my warehouse?

Compatibility is checked on the plan against doors, aisles, turning radii, gradients, first racking levels and emergency routes. Wheel type, braking, fork length and any anchoring must be confirmed for the floor and selected equipment.

What installation and maintenance should be planned?

Mobile equipment does not have one universal installation method: some models require a suitable floor, braking system or anchoring. The instructions must define inspection, cleaning, lubrication and part replacement; these points and operator training are recorded in the project approval.
