How do I choose a Metal Foldable Trolley for home, commercial or industrial use?

To choose a Metal Foldable Trolley for home, commercial or industrial use, you need to consider multiple factors such as load-bearing capacity, material, size, folding method, wheel type, and usage scenario. Here is a detailed selection guide:

Choose according to purpose
Different uses have different requirements for carts, so the appropriate type of cart should be selected according to the specific usage scenario:

Home use
Main uses: shopping, carrying household items, gardening tools, luggage, etc.
Recommended features:

Load-bearing capacity: 50-150kg (no need to carry overweight items).
Lightweight material: aluminum alloy or stainless steel, rust-proof and durable, light weight, easy to store after folding.
Compact folding design: can be easily put into the trunk of a car or stored at home, without taking up space.
Silent wheels: rubber wheels or PU wheels to avoid noise when used indoors.
Recommended scenarios: daily home use, supermarket shopping, carrying small items, travel luggage transportation, etc.

(2) Commercial use
Main uses: logistics handling in supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, office buildings, retail stores, etc.
Recommended features:
Load capacity: 100-300kg (suitable for handling goods, tableware, office equipment, etc.).
Stainless steel or galvanized steel: rust-proof and durable, suitable for high-frequency use.
Folding handle: flexible and space-saving when stored.
Silent universal wheels: convenient for use in quiet environments such as shopping malls, hotels, hospitals, etc., without affecting customer experience.
Flatbed or fence design:
Flatbed: suitable for loading boxes, goods, etc.
Cage trolley: suitable for restaurants and hotels to prevent items from falling.

Recommended scenarios: shopping carts in supermarkets, hotel luggage trolleys, office supplies handling, catering industry, etc.
Industrial use
Main uses: factories, warehouses, logistics centers, large equipment handling, etc.
Recommended features:
Ultra-high load capacity: 300-1000kg (suitable for heavy goods and mechanical equipment transportation).
High-strength carbon steel or stainless steel structure: ensures durability, impact resistance and not easy to deform.
Rust-proof coating: suitable for outdoor and humid environments (such as chemical plants, food factories, etc.).
Heavy-duty universal wheel + brake design:
Polyurethane (PU) wheels or pneumatic wheels, suitable for carrying heavy objects and adapting to rugged terrain.
Braking system to ensure safety and prevent sliding on ramps or uneven surfaces.
Removable/foldable side rails: suitable for transporting irregularly shaped items and increasing flexibility.
Recommended scenarios: factory assembly lines, warehouse cargo transportation, construction sites, logistics distribution centers, etc.

Recommended purchase suggestions
Home use: choose aluminum alloy or stainless steel, small and light, 50-150kg load-bearing, silent rubber wheels.
Commercial use: choose stainless steel or galvanized steel, 100-300kg load-bearing, PU wheels, with brake system.
Industrial use: Choose high-strength carbon steel, 300-1000kg load-bearing capacity, pneumatic wheels or heavy-duty PU wheels, and removable side rails.

When choosing a Metal Foldable Trolley, the most critical factor is the purpose. Home use focuses more on portability and lightness, commercial use needs to focus on load-bearing capacity and stability, and industrial use emphasizes durability, super load-bearing capacity, and adaptability to complex environments.
