Lithium Powered Platform Trolleys
Richmond’s Lithium Powered Platform Trolleys are designed to move heavier stock, equipment, cartons and bulky goods with less manual effort. Using a rechargeable lithium-ion electric drive, these powered platform trolleys assist operators with regular material movement through warehouses, factories, storerooms, distribution centres and other industrial and commercial workplaces.
The range includes electric platform trolleys with removable caged sides and a three-tier powered trolley for organised stock movement. Platform sizes up to 1295 x 915mm provide substantial carrying space, while load capacities up to 500kg support demanding day-to-day material handling tasks.

Electric Platform Trolleys for Powered Material Handling
Moving heavier loads repeatedly can require significant operator effort, particularly across larger warehouses, manufacturing plants and distribution facilities. A lithium powered platform trolley uses an electric drive to assist with transporting the load, making it a practical option for workplaces with frequent internal material movement.
Richmond’s powered trolleys use rechargeable 24V 30Ah lithium-ion batteries and provide both powered and manual operation. Single-handle controls keep the main functions within easy reach, while selected models include adjustable travel speeds from 1.5 to 5km/h for greater control when moving between open floors and tighter work areas.
Different platform configurations allow the trolley to be matched to the task, whether the priority is containing bulky stock, carrying oversized goods or organising smaller items across multiple levels.
Product Types by Application
500kg Electric Platform Trolley with Caged Sides
The 1295 x 640mm Electric Platform Trolley with Fence (PFR017) combines a 500kg load capacity with removable 600mm caged sides and a large non-slip rubber deck. The cage helps contain cartons, stock and bulky goods during transport, while individual sides can be removed to simplify loading or accommodate items that extend beyond the platform.
This configuration is suited to warehouses, factories, storerooms and distribution centres handling heavier day-to-day loads. The non-slip rubber deck provides additional grip beneath the load, helping reduce movement and improve stability while goods are being transported.
Large Platform Electric Trolley with Caged Sides
The 1295 x 915mm Electric Platform Trolley with Fence (PFR100) provides a wider platform for bulky goods, larger equipment or multiple cartons. Removable 600mm caged sides help contain the load while maintaining flexibility for oversized items and easier loading and unloading.
The larger deck makes this powered platform trolley particularly useful where carrying space is a priority. Adjustable travel speeds from 1.5 to 5km/h provide greater control in different working areas, while 10 inch pneumatic drive tyres and 6 inch castors support powered travel, steering and positioning.
Three-Tier Electric Platform Trolley
The 3 Tier Electric Platform Trolley (PFR105) provides three separate carrying levels within a 1295 x 640mm format. This allows cartons, tools, components and other workplace supplies to be separated and organised while being transported, rather than stacking everything on a single platform.
With a 500kg load capacity, the three-tier configuration is suited to order movement, parts distribution, stock replenishment and other applications involving multiple items. Additional carrying levels can also help reduce the number of trips required when moving suitable loads between work areas.
Key Features of Lithium Powered Platform Trolleys
Lithium-Ion Electric Drive
Richmond’s electric platform trolleys use a 24V 30Ah lithium-ion battery to provide rechargeable power for regular workplace transport. Powered movement reduces the physical effort required to move heavier loads compared with relying entirely on manual pushing.
This is particularly useful in larger warehouses, manufacturing plants and distribution centres where operators may move loaded trolleys repeatedly or travel longer distances throughout a shift.
Powered & Manual Operation
An onboard switch allows the trolley to change between electric powered movement and manual operation. This gives operators flexibility to select the appropriate mode for the task, location or operating conditions.
Manual operation can be useful when positioning the trolley in particular work areas, while electric drive assistance supports longer transport tasks and heavier day-to-day loads.
Removable Caged Sides
PFR017 and PFR100 use removable 600mm caged sides to help keep cartons, stock and bulky items contained on the platform. The mesh construction provides load containment without completely enclosing the trolley.
Removing the sides provides easier access during loading and unloading and allows the platform to accommodate suitable oversized goods that would otherwise extend beyond the cage.
Adjustable Travel Speed
Selected electric platform trolleys provide variable travel speeds from 1.5 to 5km/h. This allows operators to adjust trolley movement according to the load and surrounding workplace.
Lower speeds provide additional control when positioning loads or travelling through tighter areas, while higher settings are useful when covering longer distances across open warehouse and factory floors.
Pneumatic Drive Tyres & Steering Castors
Selected models use 10 inch pneumatic drive tyres combined with 6 inch castors. The pneumatic tyres support smoother powered travel, while the castors assist with steering and positioning the trolley.
This wheel configuration is useful for industrial and commercial workplaces where a loaded electric trolley needs to move reliably between storage, production, picking and dispatch areas.
Operator Controls & Safety Features
Single-handle controls place the main drive functions within easy reach, allowing the operator to control and manoeuvre the trolley without moving between separate control positions.
The PFR105 also includes key operation and an emergency stop, providing additional operator control when the powered trolley is being used for regular internal material movement.
