QuoteHand truck or trolley: which equipment should you choose to optimize your logistics?
In the industrial, logistics, and commercial sectors, goods handling is a daily activity that leaves no room for error. Providing your company with the right material handling equipment is not only a matter of operational efficiency; it is essential to protect your staff from workplace accidents and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
Hand trucks: versatility and obstacle handling
The hand truck is an essential tool for deliveries and fast material handling. To use it, slide the toe plate under the load and tilt the hand truck backward to transfer the weight onto the wheels, thereby reducing operator strain.
Selection criteria for professional hand trucks
When purchasing, check the load capacity, wheel type (pneumatic for outdoor or uneven surfaces, solid rubber for indoor use), and the shape of the toe plate.

Safety and best practices
Your team’s safety comes first:
-
Inspect the wheels:
- Pneumatic: outdoor use
- Rubber / PU: indoor use
- Secure the load: straps and bungee cords
- Push, don’t pull: reduces back strain
- Respect load limits: maximum payload
The choice depends on the load, distance, and working environment.
The optimal solution lies in combining complementary equipment.
