Trolley handling device for ergonomic pushing

Trolley Handling Device – ergonomic pushing made easy

The SHT trolley handling device is the ideal solution for ergonomic, safe transport of empty trolleys in internal material flow. Especially with low-profile trolley designs, manual pushing quickly strains back and joints — particularly with frequent movements throughout the day. The SHT device specifically relieves your team and noticeably improves workplace ergonomics.

Efficient material flow — without high-tech

Not every process needs complex automation. Often a well-designed, simple aid like the trolley handling device is enough to optimize internal workflows. Whether pushing empty trolleys, moving them to buffer areas, or as an add-on to an automated line — the device is intuitive, ready to use immediately, and can be stored compactly when not needed.

Ergonomics meets everyday practicality

The device supports gentle transport of empty pallet trolleys while meeting occupational safety requirements. With a self-weight of only 13 kg, it is easy to maneuver and requires no additional drive — ideal for flexible use across different areas of your site.

Trolley handling device with mounted handle bars

Trolley Handling Device — ergonomic handling with handle bars

Trolleys with bulky or sensitive loads are often hard to maneuver — especially when clear gripping points are missing. This is where the SHT trolley handling device with handle bars comes in: the sturdy, ergonomically shaped bars enable safe, targeted movement of trolleys — even in challenging loading situations.

Trolley guided lengthwise using handle bars

The special feature: the handle bars hook onto the trolley without any modifications. They are designed to be used on both the short and long sides of the trolley. Handling becomes noticeably easier — whether pushing, pulling, or precisely positioning in logistics or production areas.
