Product Description
This folding platform truck is a straightforward, practical piece of materials handling equipment built from steel and designed for moving moderate loads around a catering environment. It folds flat for storage, which makes it a sensible choice where space is at a premium — a common constraint in back-of-house areas, stock rooms, and delivery corridors.
In a working catering operation, a truck like this earns its place moving deliveries from the goods-in area to dry stores, shifting bulk catering supplies, or supporting a cellar stock rotation. The 100kg rated capacity is adequate for typical catering deliveries — cases of canned goods, bags of dry ingredients, or boxed equipment — though it is worth being realistic about what you're regularly moving before settling on this capacity.
The practical features that make this truck usable day-to-day include:
- Two swivel castors for easy manoeuvring in tight corridors and doorways
- Hold-down handle with locking mechanism to secure loads during transit
- Steel construction that holds up to regular back-of-house use
- Fold-flat design for compact storage when not in use
- Lightweight build at 5.5kg, easy to retrieve and stow single-handed
On the practical side, this is a manual handling aid rather than a heavy-duty goods mover. For operations regularly shifting very bulky or awkward loads — large gas cylinders, heavy catering equipment, or consistent pallet-weight volumes — a heavier-duty platform truck or sack truck with a higher rated capacity would be a more appropriate choice.
This truck suits smaller catering operations, pub kitchens, café stock rooms, and catering businesses that need a compact, storable solution for routine deliveries and stock movement. If you're unsure whether this capacity is right for your operation, we're happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For most standard catering deliveries — cases of tinned goods, dry ingredients, or boxed supplies — a 100kg rating is generally adequate. If your operation regularly takes in very heavy consolidated deliveries or needs to move bulk items such as large kegs or heavy catering equipment, it would be worth considering a higher-capacity model to avoid overloading the truck.
- The fold-flat mechanism means the truck can be stored against a wall or in a cupboard when not in use, which is particularly useful in kitchens and stock rooms where floor space is limited. It also makes it straightforward to bring out quickly for a delivery and put away again without it becoming an obstruction.
- It works well in smaller catering businesses, pub kitchens, café stock rooms, and similar settings where deliveries are regular but not exceptionally heavy. For larger operations with high-volume goods intake or frequent movement of bulky equipment, a heavier-duty platform truck with a greater load rating would generally be the more practical choice.
