A folding shopping trolley is a perfect tool for sporadic transport of goods or materials. It will considerably reduce the workload and can be stored comfortably.
The question here is ‘do I need a folding shopping trolley’?
To answer this question, we need to get started with the advantages of the folding trolley.
It is ideal for specific jobs. Thanks to its design it will be folded to occupy a size much smaller than that of a conventional hand truck.
It serves for removals, goods transfers, small works, and distribution tasks. And once folded it allows to store it in many different places:
Car Trunk
Small storage rooms
Offices
Addresses
Here are some tips you need to consider when making your choice of a folding shopping trolley that best suits your needs:
The maximum load that can be supported by folding trolleys is less than that of hand trucks. It is important to know this value to buy a trolley according to the weight that is going to be needed.
The weight of the trolley itself will be another interesting value if it is going to move a lot. Normally it is between 3 and 6 kg, but this value may be higher.
You should look at the dimensions both when folded and open.
Folded: with this, you will know if you can store it where you had thought.
Open: if you have low height your back will suffer more when having to go stooped. It is also interesting to look at the dimensions of the base to know what is the support surface available for the load.
There are both options: wheelbarrows with folding wheels or with fixed wheels. Those with fixed wheels will occupy a greater space once folded.
These types of plastic shopping trolley are very versatile and useful, but they are not designed for intensive or daily work. Its design is resistant, but the effort that must be done with them is somewhat greater than with a hand truck.
They also support less weight and its useful life will be less, so you should be clear about the type of trolley you are looking for. If you are going to carry a lot of weight and continuously your back will appreciate that you choose a non-folding wheelbarrow that is resistant. But if it is not the case on this page, you can choose the model you need.
Can you go downstairs with this type of trolley?
If you are going down a step, you may experience some challenges. Again, if you want to go downstairs with heavy loads, this is not your type of trolley. The folding trolleys do not have as much consistency as a professional trolley, and when you step down, you will notice it.
Will I be able to move furniture with it?
It depends on the weight limit and volume of the furniture. If the furniture you want to move does not exceed 70 kg and is stable on the blade, you will have no problem.
Will it support large appliances like washing machines or refrigerators?
The best thing for such case is to opt for a more professional trolley. Not only do you have to think about the maximum load it supports, but also the stability it offers. A supermarket shopping trolley will hold up to 70 or 90 kg, but it will be very unstable when traveling.
