Commercial Linen & Laundry Trolleys
Richmond supplies linen trolleys and laundry trolleys for transporting linen, uniforms, textiles and other bulk materials in hospitals, aged care facilities, hotels, commercial laundries and industrial workplaces. Available in multiple capacities and colours, these mobile tubs provide a durable solution for high-volume handling.
Richmond’s rotationally moulded polyethylene tub trolleys are designed for regular commercial use, with smooth internal surfaces that are easy to clean. The range includes 150L, 250L, 350L, 450L and 650L configurations, along with lids, stainless steel handles and spring-loaded base options for selected models.
Laundry Trolleys for Linen & Bulk Material Handling
Commercial laundry trolleys help move large quantities of clean or soiled linen between collection, washing, processing, storage and distribution areas. Their deep polyethylene tubs contain loose materials during transport, while castors allow operators to manoeuvre loads through laundries, corridors and other busy workplaces.
Although commonly used as hospital laundry trolleys and hotel linen trolleys, these mobile tubs are also suitable for food processing, manufacturing and other applications requiring practical bulk material transport.
Product Types by Application
250L Laundry & Linen Trolleys
The 250L rotationally moulded tubs provide a practical size for everyday linen and material handling where a large-capacity trolley is not required. Blue, natural and red tubs are available, allowing different colours to be used to separate loads, departments or material streams.
These trolleys are suited to commercial laundries, healthcare facilities, accommodation venues and industrial workplaces handling regular quantities of loose materials.
350L Laundry & Linen Trolleys
Richmond’s 350L rotationally moulded tubs provide additional capacity for bulk linen, uniforms and other materials. Blue, natural and red options are available, with matching lids and compatible accessories also offered.
The larger tub volume is useful in hospitals, hotels, aged care facilities and commercial laundries where substantial loads need to be collected and moved efficiently.
450L & 650L Bulk Handling Trolleys
For higher-volume operations, 450L and 650L configurations provide increased capacity for moving large quantities of linen and bulk materials. The 650L tubs are available in blue, natural and red, with compatible lids and stainless steel handles.
These larger commercial laundry trolleys are suited to central laundries, major healthcare facilities, accommodation operations and industrial sites where high-volume material movement is part of daily operations.
Specialty Product Options
Spring Base Laundry Trolleys
Spring base and top plate assemblies are available for Richmond’s 150L, 250L, 350L, 450L and 650L roto tubs. The spring-loaded platform responds to the load within the trolley, helping keep contents at a more accessible working height as materials are added or removed.
This configuration is particularly useful for repetitive linen handling applications where operators regularly reach into deep tubs throughout a shift.
Colour-Coded Tubs & Lids
Selected rotationally moulded tubs and lids are available in blue, natural and red. Colour coding can help workplaces separate clean and soiled linen, identify different departments or organise materials according to internal handling procedures.
Compatible lids are available across multiple tub sizes to help contain and protect contents during storage and movement.
Stainless Steel Handles
Stainless steel handles are available for selected 150L, 250L, 350L, 450L and 650L moulded tubs. Handles provide a dedicated point for operators to push, pull and position the trolley during everyday handling.
These accessories can be selected to suit the tub capacity and operational requirements of the facility.
