Buying a roll container: advantages and user tips at a glance
Roll containers come in different shapes and sizes as we have shown above. We list the advantages and disadvantages of all variants on the product page of the specific roll container. The main advantages that apply to all roll containers are listed below:
Roll containers are easy to handle.
The most important thing to keep roll containers easy to handle is timely maintenance. What we often see is that people continue to use them, recently that the forks of the wheels are full of wrapping film or that there are even wheels crooked because they have been hit by a forklift. In supermarkets, you often see that roll containers are overloaded and are therefore no longer easy to handle.
Roll containers have a reasonably high load capacity.
The weight capacity of trolleys is determined by the bottom and the type of wheels placed underneath. Most containers can carry between 400 and 650 kilograms in total. A shelf can often hold 50 kilograms of weight.
When used correctly, roll cages are durable load carriers.
The correct use of roll containers means, among other things, that the maximum load capacity must not be exceeded. Trolleys may also not be braked with a full load while they are on a slope or transported in a van or truck. A roll cage may only be applied to the brakes if it is placed on a stable, solid surface. In addition, when picking up roll containers with the forklift, care must be taken that the wheels are not rammed with the forks of the forklift. Of course, "old" stickers or excess wrapping film must be removed after each transport.
Roll containers can be dynamically adjusted by adding or removing specific accessories.
In addition to the trolleys, we also present related products in the Rotom webshop. These related products are intended to be able to adapt the containers to the needs of your supply chain and to find a suitable roll container for this. This includes specific wheels, shelves or lashing straps.
Roll container wheels are easy to adapt to the application.
Roll container wheels are intended to make the same variants suitable for multiple applications. You can think of use in a cold store but also on the street. Or use it in a hospital or a gymnasium. These applications are controlled by the type of wheel and not so much the container itself. Namely, the wheels have specific properties that determine whether the container is allowed to roll on the street, in a hospital, gymnasium or cold store. Temperature range, rolling resistance or noise reduction by using rubber wheels are decisive for this.
Roll containers are often multifunctional.
As described above in the list, the same type of roll container can be used for multiple applications. If careful consideration has been given to the type of wheels or number of shelves to be used, one type of trolley can be used in multiple rooms or for multiple purposes.
Roll cages provide safety and security.
In the standard range of Rotomshop, you can also find roll containers that can serve as a rolling safety cage at companies. We call these anti-theft roll containers and they offer security and protection to valuable items such as mobile phones, for example. The doors of these models can be closed with locks through certain metal eyelets on the doors. As a result, there is no need to worry if valuable products are transported in the container from one location to another.
Accessories for logistic equipment
Finally, at Rotomshop it is possible to adapt various logistics aids to personal wishes by equipping them with all kinds of accessories or useful tools. For example, Rotomshop's roll containers are available with plug-in gates or with clamping fences.
With the handy accessories from Rotomshop UK you can make roll containers suitable for your specific needs in terms of applications. Accessories include protective covers, insulation covers, shelves and textile binders. Popular accessories for this logistic tool are wheels. That is why you will find a very extensive range of wheels for roll containers that you can assemble yourself. Are you less handy or don't have time for that? Then you can indicate when ordering that you want us to mount the wheels.
Rotomshop offers various wheels that are individually suitable for a different purpose. For example, our range includes several wheels that are extremely suitable for transport and storage with an emphasis on sound insulation. In addition, there are also wheels in our range that are extra hard. As a result, the wheels are a lot cheaper in terms of price, but unfortunately not sound-absorbing. All in all, you will certainly find the right logistics resources at Rotomshop UK that work completely according to your wishes.
