Bespoke hand trolleys
Fully tailored to your application
A standard hand truck isn’t always the best solution. Sometimes your work requires a different frame length, special wheels, a larger loading board, extra handles or a design that’s perfectly suited to the product you transport every day. With a bespoke hand truck, you can put together a transport solution that suits your working methods, environment and load. From a lightweight aluminium bolted construction to a robust powder-coated steel model: the design is determined based on your specific application.

Technical capabilities
Specifications
A bespoke hand truck is designed based on its intended use. First, we look at the product you wish to transport: its dimensions, weight, the surface it will be moved across, how often it will be used, and the environment in which the hand truck will be used.
We then determine the right combination of frame, wheels, handles, load-bearing plate and accessories. This results in a professional hand trolley that is not only suited to the product, but also to the user and their day-to-day working environment.

- A choice of various wheel types and wheel configurations
02

Endless applications, tailor-made
Every sector has its own challenges. That’s why we build hand trolleys that are tailored to your practice, load and working environment.
Last-mile delivery
For delivery services that use electric cargo bikes, small vehicles or urban logistics. We develop compact, lightweight and sturdy hand trolleys for the final few metres: through doorways, over thresholds and, where necessary, up stairs.
Intended for: Delivery services, couriers, urban hubs and zero-emission zones.
Installation Engineering & Field Service
Every day, technicians take tools, toolboxes and materials with them to a variety of work sites. A bespoke hand truck helps them to work faster, more safely and with less physical strain, from the van to the customer’s premises.
Intended for: Installers, fitters, finishers, technical field services and contractors.
Sorting centres & distribution
In sorting centres and distribution hubs, it’s all about speed, safety and consistency. We provide transport solutions that keep loads secure and help staff maintain a better working posture.
For whom: Parcel delivery services, fulfilment centres, logistics depots and distribution hubs.
Fitness & sports sector
Fitness equipment is heavy, bulky and often difficult to move through narrow passageways or across delicate flooring. We work with you to find solutions that enable equipment to be transported safely, smoothly and without causing any damage.
Intended for: Gyms, fitness centres, hotels, rehabilitation centres and suppliers of fitness equipment.

Frequently asked questions about bespoke hand trucks
FAQ
What is a bespoke hand truck?
A bespoke hand truck is a professional hand truck that is assembled or modified for a specific application. Examples include a different frame length, different wheels, special handles, a larger loading board or additional accessories.
When is a bespoke hand truck better than a standard one?
Customisation is useful when a standard hand truck is not well suited to the product or the working situation. This is the case, for example, with heavy, tall, wide, fragile or unusually shaped goods. A suitable design can also make a big difference when the truck is used intensively on a daily basis.
Which parts can be modified?
Many components can be customised, such as the frame length, frame width, wheel type, wheel configuration, handles, shovel blade, material and accessories. Non-standard shovel blade sizes are also available if the standard options are not suitable.
Is it possible to order a bespoke hand truck, even if it’s just one?
Yes, a bespoke hand truck can be ordered from as little as one unit. This makes it an attractive option for companies that want to solve a specific transport challenge without having to order a large batch straight away.
Can I have an existing hand truck modified?
In some cases, an existing model can be modified or upgraded. If this is not practical or safe enough, a new, bespoke hand truck may be the better solution.
