A transport trolley for the stable is a vehicle that can be used to effortlessly transport heavy objects or feed such as bales of hay or straw. A practical transport trolley makes it easier to move objects from one place to another on the farm or in the stable.

We at Alfako sell a transport trolley with pneumatic wheels and a generous load capacity of up to 250 kg as an ideal helper for every horse farm.

What types of stable transport trolleys are there?

There are various types of stable transport trolleys, such as bale trolleys, hand trolleys, round bale unrollers and platform trolleys. There are also transport trolleys with a trailer coupling. Stable transport trolleys differ in the size of the loading area, the tyres, the material and the accessories.

The following list explains in detail what types of stable transport trolleys are available.

• Bale wagon: Bale trolleys are designed for transporting long objects, such as square bales of straw or hay. In most cases, bale wagons are equipped with solid rubber tyres and two or four wheels and can carry very heavy loads thanks to the sturdy steel. 
• Handcart: Hand carts are transport carts without a motor that are suitable for transporting smaller items such as buckets, hay nets or small amounts of straw. Hand carts are available with open sides and with insertable side walls. The loading area of the handcart is usually made of wood.
• Round bale unwinder: Round bales are stored on round bale unwinders and unwrapped at the horse box, which makes it easier to feed the horse with bales. Round bale unwinders are also suitable for the simple manual transport of round bales.
• Platform trailer: Platform trailers are transport trailers with a flat loading surface without side walls and are either pulled or pushed. Platform trailers make work easier for stable operators and save energy as they transport heavy objects from A to B without any problems.
• Transport trolley with trailer coupling: Transport trolleys with trailer coupling offer the option of attaching the transport trolley to a bicycle, quad bike or small tractor to carry even more weight.

Some types of stable transport trolleys are also equipped with accessories such as a parking brake (e.g. on the swivelling wheel) or a manual foot brake to prevent the trolley from rolling away during loading and unloading.

What do you transport with stable transport trolleys?

Stable transport trolleys are primarily used to transport animal feed, hay, bedding, straw, round or square bales. The transport trolley can also be used to transport buckets, water canisters, tools, manure and any riding equipment, such as saddles and bridles.

The following list shows what can be transported in the barn with transport trolleys.

• Animal feed: Bring feed rations such as hay, straw, round and square bales to the horses quickly and easily using a transport trolley.
• Bedding: Easily transport new bedding from the storage location to the horses' stalls with a transport trolley and distribute it.
• Bucket: Carry several buckets, for example with weighed horse feed, into the horse boxes and make feeding the animals easier.
• Water canister: Transport water canisters with the transport trolley, for example to bring water to the pasture or into the horse boxes. 
• Tools: Always transport all the tools you need for the barn to where you need them.
• Crap: Remove manure and waste from the horse box and transport it to the manure heap.
• Riding equipment: Move riding equipment such as saddles, bridles, halters, horse rugs and saddle covers from one place to another using the transport trolley. 

How big are transport trolleys for the stable?

Transport trolleys for stables are between 800 mm and 1250 mm wide, 1500 and 2500 mm long and between 630 mm and 850 mm high. In most cases, transport trolleys have a load capacity of 300 kg to 1500 kg. The larger the transport trolleys are, the greater their load capacity.

The size of the transport trolley is selected according to the loads that you want to transport on the trolley and the space available for the transport trolley. If the transport trolley is intended for a large stable operation where the trolley is in daily use, it is advisable to purchase a large transport trolley.

What are the advantages of transport trolleys for the stable?

The advantages of transport trolleys for the barn can be seen in detail in the following list.

What should I bear in mind when buying a trolley?

When purchasing transport trolleys, it is important to ensure that the intended use, size and load capacity of the trolley are tailored to its later use. Before buying a transport trolley, it is important to know what you want to transport on the trolley later and how big the trolley should be.

Before buying a transport trolley, think about which castors you want on your transport trolley. Solid rubber tyres have a high load-bearing capacity, while plastic tyres are very durable and inexpensive. Pneumatic tyres have the advantage that they have good suspension and can therefore balance out uneven surfaces better.

The last thing to consider when buying a transport trolley is whether you need accessories such as a trailer coupling, a parking brake or foot brake as well as grids or walls on the sides. The corresponding extras should then be added or ordered accordingly when buying a transport trolley.

How do you maintain a trolley?

You maintain a transport trolley by cleaning it regularly to remove dirt, feed residues and manure from the loading area. This prevents rust, mould and other damage to the trolley. Clean the trolley thoroughly after each use, especially if it has come into contact with wet objects.

Another important aspect of maintenance is the regular inspection of the wheels and axles. These should be checked for wear and damage and lubricated if necessary to ensure smooth movement. Wheels with pneumatic tyres should also be checked regularly for the correct pressure.

The loading area and the side walls of the wagon must be inspected for cracks and weak points, especially if the wagon is transporting heavy loads. Any damage should be repaired immediately to avoid major problems.

Maintenance of the battery or motor is essential for motorised or electric transport trolleys. The battery should be charged regularly and checked for corrosion. The motor must be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Finally, it is advisable to store the trolley in a dry, sheltered area when it is not in use. This protects it from the weather and extends its service life. Regular cleaning, maintenance and proper storage will ensure that the transport trolley remains functional and reliable for a long time.
