Tool Trolleys

47 products · Tool Storage and Containers

Tool trolleys are wheeled containers for carrying tools and keeping them organised. They let you move them effortlessly from one site to another, from one floor to another or around the workshop, with everything within reach.

Types in the collection

  • Tubs and boxes with wheels and handle, often with an upper compartment for small parts.
  • Modular, stackable trolleys, made up of several stacked modules, such as the Stanley FatMax PRO-Stack and DeWalt TSTAK series.
  • Cases and trolleys with a telescopic handle, for pulling the load like a suitcase.
  • Folding trolleys, to reduce the space they take up when not in use.

How to choose

Consider the quantity and weight of the tools to be carried and the storage space available. Large wheels are better suited to uneven ground, while stackable modules are handy if you already have other containers from the same series. Check the maximum load capacity and that the trolley has sturdy latches.

Frequently asked questions: Tool Trolleys
What are tool trolleys used for?

They are wheeled containers for carrying and organising work tools. They let you move them easily from one site to another, from one floor to another or around the workshop, with everything within reach. They reduce the time wasted looking for tools and the number of trips.

Modular trolley, wheeled tub or case: which should I choose?

The wheeled tub with a handle is simple and roomy for large tools. The modular trolley, such as the PRO-Stack or TSTAK systems, stacks several modules in a column. The case with a telescopic handle is pulled along like a suitcase and is practical for carrying on foot. Choose according to the space and the route.

Which modular trolleys are in the catalogue and how are they used?

The catalogue includes Stanley FatMax PRO-Stack modular systems, with wheeled base units and stacked modules, such as the tower trolleys with 3 or 5 units. They are assembled one on top of another and move together. Check the weight of the full module before lifting it, because a loaded tower is heavy.

What capacity should I choose for a tool box?

Capacity is measured in litres, like the 90, 109, 113 or 240 litre tubs in the catalogue. Choose according to the tools you need to carry and the weight the trolley will bear when fully loaded. An overfull tub is hard to move, so it is best to allow some free space.

How do I choose trolleys with a telescopic handle?

The telescopic handle lets you pull the trolley along like a wheeled suitcase, with the wheels rolling on the ground. It is convenient on long routes and smooth floors, less so on stairs or uneven ground. Check the length of the handle and the sturdiness of the wheels before buying, especially for heavy loads.

Are tool trolleys suitable for use on a building site?

On site you need sturdy wheels, latches that hold the tools in and a base that withstands impacts. Boxes with metal latches are better for intensive use, while lightweight models are fine for occasional transport. Check the empty and fully loaded weight and the stability on uneven surfaces.

How do I organise tools in a tool trolley?

Put heavy tools at the bottom and close to the wheels, and the most used ones at the top and within reach. Use the top compartment for small parts, separating screws and small items in containers. If you put each tool back in the same place, the trolley stays tidy and you can find everything immediately.
