Tub Dollies & Crate Dollies
Richmond supplies a practical range of tub dollies and crate dollies for moving tubs, crates, drums and containers in food processing facilities, warehouses, commercial kitchens, seafood operations and manufacturing environments. Designed to keep containers off the floor and mobile, these dollies help reduce lifting and manual handling when materials need to be moved regularly between work areas.
The range includes injection moulded food grade tub dollies, stainless steel dollies for fish crates, a drum dollie and a dedicated stack and nest crate dollie. Different configurations are available to suit specific container sizes, hygiene requirements and operating environments.
For food production and processing applications, Richmond’s food grade dollies feature a completely smooth, hard-wearing injection moulded body. The smooth construction eliminates unnecessary cavities where meat, poultry, seafood residue and other contaminants can become trapped, supporting easier and more thorough cleaning.
Mobile Dollies for Tubs, Crates & Containers
Tub dollies provide a simple mobile base for containers that would otherwise need to be carried, dragged or repeatedly lifted. Swivel castors allow operators to manoeuvre loaded tubs and crates through production areas, coolrooms, storage areas and other commercial workplaces.
Choosing the correct dollie depends on the container being transported and the operating environment. Food processing facilities may require smooth food grade or stainless steel construction for easier washdown, while warehouses and general industrial workplaces may prioritise durability and compatibility with commonly used crates and containers.
Product Types by Application
Food Grade Tub Dollies
Richmond’s food grade tub dollies are manufactured from food grade material using an injection moulding process that creates a completely smooth, hard-wearing body. This design is particularly suited to food handling environments because there are no unnecessary cavities in the main body where food residue, dirt and other contaminants can become trapped.
Available in red (TDR137), white (TDR063) and blue (TDR038), these models are fitted with 100mm nylon castors for manoeuvrability across suitable hard floor surfaces.
Stainless Steel Fish Crate Dollies
Richmond’s TDR090 and TDR092 stainless steel dollies are designed to suit 35L and 55L fish crates.
Stainless steel construction makes these dollies well suited to seafood processing, food production, commercial kitchens and other wet or regularly cleaned environments where corrosion resistance and cleanability are important.
Stack & Nest Crate Dollies
The Tub Dollie to Suit Stack and Nest Crate (TDR002) provides a dedicated mobile base for compatible stack and nest containers.
This configuration is suited to warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution operations and commercial workplaces where reusable crates are regularly moved between storage, picking, packing and production areas.
44 Gallon Drum Dollie
The 44 Gallon Drum Dollie (DDR001) provides a compact mobile platform for transporting standard 205L / 44-gallon drums and barrels.
Its steel ring frame helps keep the drum centred while swivel castors provide manoeuvrability across smooth industrial floors, making it suitable for workshops, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and maintenance areas.
Specialty Product Options
Smooth Injection Moulded Food Grade Bodies
The injection moulded food grade dollies feature a smooth, hard-wearing body designed with hygiene and cleaning in mind. Unlike fabricated designs with cavities, recesses or difficult-to-access areas, the smooth body reduces locations where food residue and contaminants can collect.
This is particularly important in meat, poultry, seafood and other food processing applications where tubs and their handling equipment may be exposed to organic residue and require regular cleaning.
Stainless Steel Options
Stainless steel tub dollies provide an alternative for applications requiring durable equipment suitable for wet and hygiene-sensitive environments.
They are particularly suited to fish crates and food handling operations where equipment is regularly exposed to moisture and cleaning processes.
Colour-Coded Food Grade Dollies
Red, white and blue food grade tub dollies provide options for facilities that use colour identification to organise equipment between products, processes or work zones.
Using different colours can also make individual dollies easier to identify within larger food production and material handling operations.
