Hotel Trolleys and Carts

Ready to Serve
There are various functional types of carts, hand trucks, stands, and trolleys utilized throughout Hotels and Motels, to conviently tranfer items around. Such movability also allows quick carriage, stacking, and storage for guests, staff, and contractors, e.g. cleaners and event management personel. This can include for food service, laundry, garments, office equipment, waste sorting and other products and tasks. Various shapes, size, styles, features, load capacities, and composition, are incorporated for it's intended use. Perhaps since the early use of english antique oak style butler trolleys, they generally have a prime use: To serve - either yourself or others.

Whether if shopping, serving meals, personal luggage transport, mobile filing and work stations, utility carts, and moving or housing electronic multimedia, there will be a wheeled, shelfing or rail unit to suit. Many styles are manufactured or supplied in New Zealand to suit. You need of course select a suitable trolley for it's role, and if for repeated wheeling, perhaps durabilty or heavy duty features would be important. Other features such as stackability, foldability, extensibilty, retractability, appearance, dimensions, and finish need be considered. Perhaps seek advice from suppliers, and/or research specifications other hotels and relevant venues to observe what they use.
