Choosing the right platform truck affects your loading capacity, transport costs and compliance. Here's a clear comparison between our plastic and aluminium trolleys - both built with pallet workflows and sustainability in mind.
Plastic Platform Truck: Higher Load, Better Endurance Our plastic trolley is injection-moulded from PP (polypropylene) in one piece. It carries more, shrugs off the cold, and never rusts.
Load capacity: under 300 kg
Plate size: 620 × 415 × 70 mm
Weight: plate 2.55 kg, complete with wheels 5.27 kg
Working temperature: −18 ℃ to +65 ℃ - cold-chain friendly
Special feature: can be spliced - units join to form a larger platform
Wheels: 4 inch, colour: blue
Ideal for courier sorting, food and pharmaceutical handling - anywhere you need a higher load and all-weather performance.
Aluminium Platform Truck: Featherlight and Fully Customisable Our aluminium trolley is built from aluminium alloy, making it remarkably light and easy to handle. Its standout feature: the plate can be cut to any size, matching your exact workspace or container.
Load capacity: 100–150 kg
External size: 630 × 430 mm (internal 600 × 400 mm), height with wheels 140 mm
Weight with wheels: only 2.25–2.4 kg
Special feature: cut-to-any-size customisation
Wheels: 3 inch, colour: black
Perfect for light loads where weight matters and for jobs that need a non-standard, made-to-fit platform.
Compliance & Sustainability
Pallet-friendly: both models are designed to work with standard pallet handling, so goods transfer straight onto pallets and move smoothly through your warehouse and transport chain.
- Transport efficiency: featherlight construction keeps total transport weight down - you ship more product per load and cut freight cost per unit.
- Recyclable material: the PP body is a fully recyclable thermoplastic, reducing environmental footprint across its life cycle.
- PPWR-aligned: our use of recyclable materials supports the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation's drive toward recyclability and circularity - helping you stay ahead of the 2030 recycling targets.

Which One Should You Choose? If you need higher load capacity and all-weather reliability, go plastic. If you need maximum lightness and a made-to-fit size, go aluminium. Many operations run both - the plastic one for daily sorting, the aluminium one for custom positions.
