Wanted - Trolley or Truck

lancsdave · 16-02-2009, 21:38

Bit of a long shot but if anyone knows of a cheap platform truck or similar sized trolley going cheap ( better still free

) then please let me know.

I know it's not an everyday household item but somebody may know of one getting lonely in a warehouse or shop

Asda? Tesco?

I found a sack truck in our skip at work, it's wheels were missing.
NO problem, I ordered some replacement wheels from CPC for under £7 through work.
Then they made me redundant, before the invoice came through ROFLMAO!

Mine is to move loads of sacks of rubble when I also get a "roudtuit"

Good luck finding one.

I would try CPC, i bought a very good sack truck for around £20.00 and there only in preston.

How long do you need one for? i might have a spare

The big B&Q (Blackburn) often have them in too cheaply so an ex colleague kept telling me.

I need something bigger than a sack truck, I already have one of those.

I need it for carting my stuff from stall to storeroom at the market. Sack truck means quite a few trips.

Need something along thse lines;

Platform Trucks - Single Ended - Walden's - For your materials handling needs

Turntable Trucks - Lightweight with Timber Drop on Sides - Walden's - For your materials handling needs

or even a roll cage

Warehouse Equipment - Rollcages - 3 sided A frame (refurbished)

There are a few of the big metal boxes still around but they are trying to do away with them because they are too heavy.

Take a saw with you and cut it up, just leave the base and one side

Apparently it's the porters that do the lugging about of them which is why they want them done away with. Seems illogical to me, just tell people if they make them too heavy they push em themselves.

K.S.H · 18-02-2009, 22:01

Nip round the loading bays when theres a delivery on, a driver will let one slip away for a couple of quid, there not usually marked like the trolleys are

Always been a problem on Accy Market....too many chiefs and not enough brains to go around. Is that font of knowledge David still in charge or have they seen the light?

I'm not sure who's in charge. I was told that a David who used to be in charge was now at Preston but there's also a David in the office now.
