Buying notes, range news and offers from London Pallet Trucks: pallet trucks, pump trucks, stackers, forklifts, shopping trolleys and roll cages for UK businesses. Written for buyers, not for search engines, with real prices and real products.
Comparison · Warehouse trolley prices: what you pay for each type, and whyWarehouse trolley prices sit in clear bands: a flat stock trolley from £28 ex VAT, bulk price, a 200 kg single deck platform trolley from £37 ex VAT, a three tier wire shelf trolley from £48 ex VAT, bulk price, and a heavy duty folding mesh trolley from £87 ex VAT, bulk price. Most of that spread comes from the number of tiers, the mesh sides and the folding frame, not from the rated load. Price, freight and VAT for your quantity are confirmed on your written quote.
Guide · Gondola shelving: how many bays, and wall run or island?Gondola shelving is the free standing bay a shop floor is built from, rated here at 120 kg a bay and from £96 ex VAT, bulk price. Bays bolt into runs, so the number you order comes from the clear aisle length divided by the bay width on your quote, not from a catalogue pack size. Single sided bays go against the wall, double sided bays go back to back down the middle, and the lighter racks and tables around them start from £23 ex VAT, bulk price.
Comparison · Folding step ladder or fixed rolling steps: which fits a working aisleA folding step ladder is from £44 ex VAT, bulk price and closes flat against a racking leg when the aisle has to clear. A large fixed rolling platform is from £96 ex VAT, bulk price and stays where you park it, with more to stand on. Of the 24 sets in the range the choice comes down to one question: how often do the steps have to be out of somebody's way?
Guide · Cleaning shopping baskets: a routine that holds up through peak tradingCleaning shopping baskets is a weekly job in most shops and a twice weekly one anywhere selling loose produce, bakery, raw meat or fish. A 40 L solid plastic hand basket starts from £3 ex VAT, bulk price and wipes down in under a minute, while a 50 L folding mesh basket starts from £11 ex VAT, bulk price and drains on its own once rinsed. Hold roughly one spare basket for every ten on the floor so a batch can be out of use while it dries.
Comparison · Shopping trolley with child seat: which type suits your storeA shopping trolley with child seat is a full size trolley that carries a small child at the handle end while the parent shops, and guide prices start from £20 ex VAT, bulk price, for a 160 L version. Moulded ride in trolleys, where a toddler sits inside a plastic body rather than on a seat, start from £120 ex VAT, bulk price, per set, and a car bodied trolley is from £156 ex VAT, bulk price. Seat size, the restraint strap, basket volume, castors and colour are all set on your written quote, because every trolley in the children's trolley range is made to order.
Comparison · Paper roll clamp: do you actually need the rotating versionA paper roll clamp holds reels, drums and barrels between curved arms that follow the shape of the load, and the fixed arm version starts from £3,280 ex VAT. A rotating clamp does the same work and turns the load through 360 degrees, from £3,620 ex VAT, so it is worth the extra only if you tip, invert or lay rolls on their side. Both versions need a spare hydraulic service on the forklift, and rotation needs one more.
Guide · Semi electric stacker: how much lift and capacity you needA semi electric stacker powers the mast and leaves the push to the operator, which puts a 1 t pallet on a 3.5 m beam from £640 ex VAT. Lift height is the figure that sets the price: a 1.6 m to 3.5 m walkie model is £710 ex VAT, bulk price, and a 4.5 m mast with adjustable forks is £1,170 ex VAT. Rated capacity is quoted at the lowest fork position and tapers as the mast extends, so the rating at your own top beam is confirmed on your written quote.
Comparison · Scrubber dryer tanks: how much floor you clean before you refillA scrubber dryer carries its own clean and dirty water, so the tank size decides how much floor you cover before you stop and refill. A 540 mm walk behind machine starts from £930 ex VAT, a ride on with a 90 L tank from £1345 ex VAT, and the largest tanks on this site hold 155 L and 166 L. Size the tank to the area you clean in one run, not to the square metres per hour printed on the spec sheet.
Comparison · Semi Electric Pallet Truck or Full Electric: Which One to BuyA semi electric pallet truck powers the lift and leaves the push to the operator, and the 2 t portable version is priced from £440 ex VAT. A full electric walkie that drives as well as lifts starts lower, from £390 ex VAT at 1.5 t, so this is a decision about the job rather than the budget. Semi electric earns its place on short moves, tight back rooms and high lift work at a packing bench.Contact us by email
