Mesh Platform Trolleys
Richmond supplies heavy duty Mesh Platform Trolleys for transporting cartons, bags, stock, bulky goods and awkward loads through warehouses, retail stores, stockrooms, distribution centres and industrial workplaces. Combining a strong welded steel frame with a large wire mesh platform, these trolleys provide a durable load surface while maintaining good visibility around the trolley during handling.
The range includes nesting platform trolleys designed to reduce storage space when multiple units are used within the same facility. Options include the 150kg Twin Handle Nesting Platform Trolley and a spring-loaded Wire Mesh Platform Trolley with a central fifth wheel for improved steering and load handling.

Wire Mesh Platform Trolleys for Stock & Cargo Handling
Mesh Platform Trolleys are particularly useful in operations where bulky or mixed loads need to be moved repeatedly between receiving, storage, picking, retail and dispatch areas. The open wire mesh deck provides a strong platform for cartons, bags and general stock without the unnecessary weight of a solid steel deck.
Open-ended and twin-handle configurations also make these trolleys practical for awkward goods that may extend beyond the platform. In warehouses and retail operations with multiple trolleys, nesting designs allow units to be stored closely together rather than occupying the full footprint of each individual trolley.
These features make Mesh Platform Trolleys suitable as warehouse trolleys, stock trolleys, cargo trolleys and general-purpose industrial trolleys in high-use environments.
Product Types by Application
Twin Handle Nesting Platform Trolley
The Twin Handle Nesting Platform Trolley (PFS002) is a heavy duty welded steel trolley designed for transporting loads up to 150kg. Its large wire mesh platform is suited to cartons, bags, stock and bulky goods, while the open front and rear allow longer items to extend beyond the deck where appropriate.
Twin handles with ergonomic red grips provide control from either end of the trolley, while integrated bag hooks provide additional hanging points for suitable bags and sacks. The angled frame and lift-up platform allow multiple PFS002 trolleys to nest together, making the model particularly useful in retail, warehousing and stock handling operations where trolley storage space is limited.
Spring-Loaded Mesh Platform Trolley
The Steel Mesh Platform Trolley with Spring Load Dampening Deck and Fifth Wheel (PFS001) combines a large wire mesh platform with a spring-loaded deck that responds to the load. This provides a supported loading surface and assists during loading and unloading.
A central fifth wheel improves directional control and provides a tighter turning radius, making the trolley easier to manoeuvre in confined warehouse and retail environments. The trolley also includes a rear mesh storage basket, ergonomic handle, rear castor guards and a nesting frame for compact storage.
Open-Ended Flatbed Trolleys
Open-ended platform designs provide additional flexibility when transporting long, bulky or awkward goods that do not fit completely within the trolley deck. Rather than enclosing the load with mesh sides, the flat platform remains accessible from the front and rear.
This makes the configuration useful as a flatbed trolley or cargo trolley for cartons, bags, packaged stock and oversized items in warehouses, cash and carry operations, retail stores and commercial distribution environments.
Key Features of Mesh Platform Trolleys
Heavy Duty Welded Steel Frames
Fully welded steel construction provides a rigid frame for repetitive commercial and industrial handling. This is important where trolleys are loaded, moved and stored frequently throughout the working day.
The robust construction makes Richmond Mesh Platform Trolleys suitable for demanding warehouse, retail, logistics and general materials handling applications.
Space-Saving Nesting Design
Nesting frames allow multiple trolleys to slide closely together when not in use. Lift-up or spring-loaded platform arrangements provide the clearance required for the next trolley to nest within the frame.
This substantially reduces the storage footprint of a trolley fleet and is particularly valuable in supermarkets, cash and carry stores, distribution centres and warehouses where floor space needs to remain available for stock and operations.
Wire Mesh Platforms
The steel wire mesh deck provides a durable surface for supporting cartons, bags and general stock while maintaining an open platform construction.
The mesh format is well suited to busy material handling environments and allows operators to quickly see through and around the platform when checking loads or positioning the trolley.
Spring-Loaded Platform
The PFS001 uses a spring-loaded platform that responds as goods are loaded or removed. The deck provides a supported surface for the load and assists throughout the unloading process.
This feature is particularly useful in repetitive stock handling applications where operators are continually loading and unloading products throughout a shift.
Central Fifth Wheel Steering
The PFS001 incorporates a central rigid fifth wheel fitted with a 125mm rebound rubber wheel. This central wheel supports weight while helping the trolley pivot through a tighter turning radius.
Improved steering is valuable when a loaded platform trolley needs to negotiate warehouse aisles, retail areas, stockrooms and other confined spaces where a conventional four-wheel trolley may require more room to turn.
Non-Marking & Rebound Rubber Wheels
The PFS002 is fitted with 125mm non-marking rubber wheels, while the PFS001 uses 150mm rebound rubber running wheels. These wheel materials provide smooth rolling performance across suitable commercial and industrial floors.
Non-marking performance is particularly useful in retail and customer-facing environments, while rebound rubber provides additional shock absorption when transporting loads across workplace floor surfaces.
Operator Control & Additional Storage
Ergonomic handle grips provide a secure hand position for pushing and steering the trolley. The PFS002 uses twin handles for control from either end, while the PFS001 includes a rear mesh basket for separating smaller goods from the main platform load.
Features such as integrated bag hooks on the PFS002 and rear castor guards on the PFS001 provide additional functionality for stock handling and help protect components during regular workplace use.
