Storage Trolleys

Rolling storage that goes where the clutter is. These trolleys work as much in a bathroom, utility room or craft corner as they do in a kitchen — slim frames from 13 cm wide for narrow gaps, mesh baskets for laundry and toiletries, and heavy-duty steel tiers for tools.

Storage trolley types we stock

• 3-tier rolling trolleys — the everyday size, with brakes on at least two castors.
• Slim trolleys — the narrowest frame here is 13 cm wide and 96.5 cm tall, built for the gap beside a washing machine or fridge.
• Mesh-basket trolleys — open baskets that suit laundry, toiletries and craft supplies.
• Acrylic and wood-effect shelves — 2, 3 and 4-tier versions in white, black and pink.
• Heavy-duty tool trolleys — steel tiers with pegboards and hooks, rated to 91 kg.
• Utility carts — deeper trays for salons, offices and hobby rooms.

How to choose a storage trolley

Measure the gap you want to fill at its narrowest point and subtract a centimetre or two for the castors, which often sit wider than the frame.

Then read the load rating, because it varies more than anything else in this collection — from 9 kg across the whole trolley up to 91 kg. The light plastic and slim metal frames are the ones to watch: the 13 cm slim trolley is rated 11 kg in total, 3 kg on the top surface and 2 kg per basket, which is fine for toiletries and tea towels and not much use for tinned food or tools. If the trolley is going to carry anything heavy, choose a powder-coated steel frame and check whether the rating is per tier or for the whole unit — several listings give only one figure.

Finally, think about the floor: locking brakes matter on hard floors and slopes, while larger castors roll over rugs and thresholds that small ones catch on. Open shelves keep everything visible; baskets stop small items sliding off when the trolley moves.

Storage trolley FAQs

Will a trolley fit beside my washing machine?

The narrowest model here is 13 cm wide, so a gap of about 15 cm is enough once you allow for the castors. Check the overall width on the product page, as castors often sit wider than the frame.

How much weight can a storage trolley hold?

Across this collection the ratings run from 9 kg to 91 kg. Slim and plastic trolleys sit at the bottom of that range, steel tool trolleys at the top, and some listings publish separate figures for the top surface and each basket.

Do the wheels lock?

Most trolleys have brakes on at least two castors. Look for brakes in the product specification if the trolley will sit on a hard floor.

Can these be used outside a kitchen?

Yes — bathrooms, utility rooms, home offices, salons and craft rooms all suit the same frames. Only powder-coated steel models should go anywhere damp.
