Folding Platform Trolleys
Richmond supplies a wide range of folding platform trolleys for transporting cartons, stock, equipment and supplies through warehouses, offices, retail stores, workshops and delivery operations. A fold-down handle allows the trolley to be stored more efficiently when not in use, making these models particularly useful where vehicle, storeroom or warehouse space is limited.
The range includes compact folding trolleys, larger 920 x 610mm platform trolleys, stainless steel models, braking options and configurations with pneumatic, puncture proof or rebound rubber wheels. These different wheel and platform combinations allow businesses to select a trolley suited to their load, floor surface and operating environment.

Portable Platform Trolleys for Stock & Equipment Movement
A folding platform trolley combines a flat load deck with a handle that folds down when the trolley is not required. This reduces its storage footprint and makes it easier to keep in delivery vehicles, stockrooms, workshops and other areas where available space is limited.
Different configurations are available for smooth indoor floors and more demanding surfaces. Compact models suit cartons, parcels and general stock movement, while larger platforms provide additional deck space for bulky loads. Pneumatic and puncture proof wheel configurations provide options for uneven surfaces, while braking models provide additional control when the trolley needs to remain stationary.
Richmond also supplies Platform Trolleys with Brakes for applications where controlled stopping and stationary load handling are important.
Product Types by Application
Compact Folding Platform Trolleys
The Grey Folding 740 x 468mm Platform Trolley (PFR024) provides a compact platform for moving cartons, parcels and general supplies through offices, retail stores, stockrooms and commercial workplaces.
For applications requiring more deck space, the Grey Folding 900 x 610mm Platform Trolley (PFR025) provides a larger load platform while retaining the convenience of a folding handle for storage.
920 x 610mm Folding Platform Trolleys
The Folding 920 x 610mm Platform Trolley (FPR001) provides a versatile platform size for warehouse, commercial and general materials handling tasks.
The 920 x 610mm range is also available with different wheel configurations, allowing the trolley to be matched more closely to the surfaces encountered during transport.
Pneumatic Wheel Folding Trolleys
For applications requiring additional cushioning over uneven surfaces, Richmond offers the 920 x 610mm Platform Trolley with 200mm Pneumatic Wheels (FPR007) and 920 x 610mm Platform Trolley with 250mm Pneumatic Wheels (FPR008).
Pneumatic wheels provide shock absorption and easier movement across rougher ground, making these trolleys suitable where loads need to travel between indoor and outdoor work areas.
Puncture Proof Wheel Folding Trolleys
The 920 x 610mm Platform Trolley with 215mm Puncture Proof Wheels (FPR002) and 920 x 610mm Platform Trolley with 255mm Puncture Proof Wheels (FPR003) provide an alternative where puncture resistance and reduced wheel maintenance are priorities.
These configurations are useful for delivery, warehouse and industrial environments where the trolley may encounter debris or uneven surfaces and operators want to avoid downtime associated with flat pneumatic tyres.
Rebound Rubber Wheel Folding Trolleys
The 920 x 610mm Platform Trolley with 200mm Rebound Rubber Wheels (FPR004) combines the folding platform design with resilient rubber wheels.
This configuration provides a practical option for regular materials handling across suitable warehouse, workshop and commercial floor surfaces.
Stainless Steel Platform Trolleys
The 820 x 515mm Grade 201 Stainless Platform Trolley (PFR029) and 820 x 515mm Grade 304 Stainless Platform Trolley (PFR028) provide corrosion-resistant alternatives for applications where cleanability and stainless steel construction are required.
These models are suited to commercial, food handling and other workplaces where a stainless platform is preferred over conventional painted or plastic trolley construction.
KartR Folding Trolley with Collapsible Basket
The KartR Folding Trolley with Collapsible Basket (KAR001) combines a portable trolley with a removable collapsible basket for carrying smaller goods and loose items.
The folding design is useful for mobile workers, offices, retail environments and other applications where the trolley needs to be transported or stored between uses. A Spare KartR Basket (KARTBASK), Spare Castor (527CPTCASTOR) and Spare Wheel (527CPTWHEEL) are also available.
Specialty Platform Trolley Options
Platform Trolleys with Brakes
The 920 x 610mm Folding Platform Trolley with Brake (FPR005) provides additional control when loads need to be held stationary during loading, unloading or storage.
Richmond also supplies Commander platform trolleys with dedicated braking systems, including the 800 x 430mm Commander with Foot Operated Brake (PFR042), 900 x 600mm Commander with Foot Operated Brake (PFR044) and 900 x 600mm Commander with Deadman Brake (PFR043).
Different Wheel Options
Wheel selection can have a significant effect on how a platform trolley performs. Richmond’s folding range includes pneumatic, puncture proof and rebound rubber wheel configurations in different diameters.
Pneumatic wheels provide cushioning over rougher surfaces, puncture proof wheels reduce the risk of flats, and rebound rubber wheels provide a durable option for regular movement across suitable industrial and commercial floors.
Larger Platform Options
The Single Deck 910 x 610mm Platform Trolley (PFR009) provides additional deck area for cartons, equipment and larger loads where a compact trolley is not sufficient.
For applications requiring other deck sizes, load configurations or higher capacities, Richmond’s broader platform trolley range includes additional industrial options.
