Keg Trolleys

A keg trolley is specifically designed to transport heavy beer kegs safely and efficiently with minimal physical strain. Commonly used in pubs, clubs, breweries, stadiums, and event venues, a keg trolley allows one person to move full or empty kegs without manual lifting. The design supports the rounded shape of a keg, keeping it balanced during movement. This helps reduce workplace injuries, improve handling efficiency, and maintain safer back-of-house operations. Keg trolleys are an essential tool in hospitality environments where frequent keg movement is required.

Richmond keg trolleys are built to handle standard 50L commercial beer kegs used across the Australian hospitality industry. Their curved frames and balanced design help secure cylindrical loads of varying diameters. Some models may also handle smaller or specialty kegs used by craft breweries. For best results and safe operation, it is important to review each product’s specifications to confirm the recommended keg dimensions and maximum weight capacity before purchasing.

Yes, Richmond keg trolleys are engineered for commercial and industrial use in demanding environments. They are commonly used in hospitality venues, breweries, warehouses, and distribution centres where reliability and note safety are essential. The frames are typically manufactured from heavy-duty steel and designed to withstand frequent handling of heavy loads. These trolleys are built to support daily operational requirements while helping businesses maintain safer manual handling practices and improve efficiency when moving kegs.

Keg trolleys are suitable for use on typical workplace surfaces, including ramps, loading docks, and slightly uneven floors. Their wheel design helps maintain stability while moving heavy cylindrical loads. However, extra care should always be taken when operating on slopes or rough terrain. Operators should move slowly, maintain full control of the trolley, and follow correct manual handling procedures to reduce the risk of accidents or loss of balance.

Some keg trolley models may require minimal assembly upon delivery, such as fitting wheels or handles. Others may arrive fully assembled and ready for immediate use. Richmond provides assembly details on individual product pages to ensure buyers know what to expect. Any required assembly is generally straightforward and can be completed with basic tools, allowing businesses to put the trolley into service quickly without specialised equipment or technical knowledge.

While keg trolleys are purpose-built for transporting beer kegs, they can also be used to move other cylindrical or barrel-shaped items with similar dimensions and weight. Examples include chemical drums, water barrels, or other round containers. It is important to ensure the alternative load fits securely within the frame and does not exceed the trolley’s rated capacity. Using the trolley within its intended limits helps maintain safety and prolongs product lifespan. Engineering drawings or CAD files are available on request to help you custom engineer a solution.
