In the category Shelf and parcel trolleys you will find 214 items for professional and private use in workshop, warehouse, trade or household. Both types of trolleys serve for the safe and efficient transport of goods, but differ in design and purpose. Shelf trolleys are equipped with several tiers arranged one above the other, enabling space-saving and at the same time sorted transport of small parts, parcels or picking goods. Parcel trolleyson the other hand, often have closed or partially closed walls and are particularly suitable for gentle shipping and transporting cardboard boxes or loose goods.
What should you consider when choosing? The decisive factors are the load capacity, the number of shelves, the material, and the Tires. Light carts with plastic floors and solid rubber tires are suitable for in-house use on level surfaces. Carts with higher load capacity (from 400 kg) and stable steel construction are designed for heavier loads in the warehouse or production. Pay attention to a non-slip surface and easy-moving swivel casters – ideally with a locking brake for safe loading and unloading.
The choice betweenMulti-shelf trolleys and bulkhead parcel trolleys depends on the goods you transport: For small parts and picking, multi-shelf trolleys with wire mesh shelves are ideal; for boxes and parcels, closed parcel trolleys with one wall offer more protection and stability. Combined foldable models save space when the trolley is not in use.
Before purchasing, check the dimensions (LxWxH) and the shelf material – whether wire mesh, chipboard or plastic – depending on the location of use and cleaning requirements. For outdoor use, carts with puncture-proof solid rubber tires and a corrosion-protected frame are recommended. With the large selection in this category, you will find both light transport helpers for private use and heavy-duty variants for industrial everyday use.

Frequently asked questions about multi-level and parcel carts
Which wheels are best suited for multi-level and parcel carts?
The wheels depend on the floor surface. For smooth hall floors, solid rubber tires or elastic rollers; they are quiet and leave no marks. For uneven surfaces or outdoor use, we recommend puncture-proof solid rubber casters with a larger diameter (125–200 mm). In sensitive areas such as clean rooms, ESD casters (electrostatic dissipative) are mandatory to protect sensitive components.
How many shelves should a multi-level cart have?
The ideal number of shelves depends on the items you transport and the space required.2 shelves are suitable for bulky goods, 3 shelves are the standard for order picking and lighter goods. 4 or more shelves are used for very flat items or small parts – however, the cart can become more prone to tipping. Ensure sufficient space between the shelves to avoid goods getting squeezed.
Can I later add an additional shelf to a parcel cart?
Yes, many parcel cart models allow retrofitting of Extra shelves including edge support. The prerequisite is that the wagon has suitable pickups – usually in the grid size matching the manufacturer. Installation is typically tool-free by inserting and securing. With each additional shelf you increase sorting capability, but also the dead weight of the wagon.
What differences exist between wire mesh shelves and chipboard shelves?
Wire mesh shelves are lighter, air-permeable and dirt-resistant – ideal for warehouses with dust or liquids. Chipboard shelves offer a closed, smooth surface and are better suited for delicate goods or paper and textile products. Plastic shelves are an alternative when hygiene or moisture resistance is important. Choose the material depending on whether the load should have a non-slip seat or whether dirt should pass through.
Overview of other transport wagon categories
Besides shelf trolleys and parcel trolleys, there are in the logistics and transport trolleygroup specialized alternatives that may be more suitable depending on the goods to be transported. Table trolleys (e.g. table trolleys) are suitable for large-area, stable loads such as pallets or machine parts – they have a continuous platform and often folding stakes. System and heavy-duty trolleys (e.g., System / Heavy-duty trucks) are more massively dimensioned and designed for regular heavy-duty transport, often with reinforced frames and ball-bearing swivel casters. If you transport very light or bulky goods such as pipes or panels, Pipe rack / Panel trucks may be the better choice as they offer special holders. Therefore, always check whether a shelf or parcel truck is the optimal solution for your specific transport goods or whether one of the sibling categories works more efficiently.

In this category with 214 items you will find shelf and parcel trucks in various designs: with wire mesh, chipboard or plastic shelves, with headboards, three or four sides, folding or rigid. The load capacities range from light 150 kg to over 200 kg. The decisive factors for the right choice are the goods to be transported (small parts vs. bulky cartons), the surface (type of wheels), and the required flexibility (foldable or fixed). Accessories such as additional shelves or angle supports allow later adjustment. Compare dimensions, number of shelves, and wheel equipment to find the suitable cart for your business or household – without opting for unnecessary extras.
