Transferring heavy garden tools and supplies from one place to the other can be a tiresome task. Using a nursery and plant trolley is the most efficient way to transport various items in a nursery or garden, with back injuries and other relevant injuries minimised.
Plant trolleys are useful nursery equipment for nursery workers and gardeners especially when they are working on a major gardening project. They are usually made from mesh to allow easy drainage.
Nursery trolleys have a flat bed. Optionally they can have sides that can be folded down. It can be manoeuvred with built-in handles.
A nursery trolley can be used to carry gardening supplies such as tools, bags of soil and plants. It can also be used to transfer soil mixes and weeds to their designated place.
Consider the area where the plant trolley will be stored since they are usually bulky. Check if the garden or even the nursery field has enough space where the nursery trolley can move around easily.
Other environmental factors such as distance, floor gradient, floor surface or floor condition should also be considered.
Nursery/plant trolleys can have 2 or 4 wheels. They have level bottoms and straight sides to easily load items such as large pots and stones.
Heavy-duty nursery trolleys are appropriate for carrying heavy loads such as wood pile and concrete garden trimmings. Contrarily, small plant trolleys are perfect for holding smaller plant pots and garden tools.
To ensure stability during transporting, a nursery trolley should have quality tyres. Most heavy-duty plant trolleys come with pneumatic tyres. These are ideal for outdoor use and perfect for nurseries with rough landscapes.
An appropriate height for the nursery/plant trolley is required to minimise bending and other injuries when moving garden items.
Moving a nursery/plant trolley can be difficult for nursery staff and gardens with cramped isles and small spaces. It can also be challenging to pivot on a patio. Plant trolleys with easy manoeuvrability are always preferred.
Always opt for a nursery/plant trolley that is sturdy and has the best build. Look for the one that has a good handle grip, sturdy frame, with robust wheels.
Choose the right material for construction. Galvanised mild steel is ideal for frame durability, strength & lightness. The frame should also be thick and strong enough to hold heavy loads and rust-resistant.
