What should we expect from a good tool trolley?

In the era of the ubiquitous fight for the lowest possible price, the market responded, using the example of tool trolleys, with a slimmer design and ubiquitous savings. To such an extent that we can only put equipment weighing up to 10 kg in total in the drawers of cheap trolleys (low drawers) and 25-30 kg in deep drawers. Someone will say that this is enough, and the stroller will have to be replaced in two or three years. Are you sure?

A history of durability: a stroller that has survived decades

I am reminded of the story of an experienced mechanic who, a few years ago, while working in a bus repair plant, showed me his trolley along with a tool card confirming that it was given to him... in the 1970s! Solid construction and good tools allowed for many years of operation and preservation in excellent condition. Were his employers aware of the savings that investing in such a good product brought them? Over 40 years without replacement! Unthinkable these days.

The history of this tool trolley is not only an example of the reliability of the equipment, but also an inspiration to reflect on the value of investing in high-quality tools. It is also proof that well-selected equipment not only makes work easier, but also generates long-term savings.

Milwaukee is tools that will last for years

Milwaukee's philosophy goes exactly in the same direction - to offer tools that will bring huge savings in the future.

The Milwaukee tool trolley, available at Autos, was created by practitioners who know the workshop realities perfectly. Thanks to this, he has:

• edges covered with strong ABS protecting the stroller against impact damage,
• large wheels with bearings that facilitate movement on uneven floors and ensure structural stability, drawers with a maximum load capacity of 45 kg (shallow) and as much as 90 kg (deep),
• solid drawer closures, thanks to which the stroller will not open due to shocks,
• side shelves for organizing e.g. sprays, perforated side walls for adding hooks for special tools, very strong top with a special place for screwdrivers, standard tools, etc., extension cord with a magnetic holder.

We tested this stroller in many ways, turning it upside down to see if the drawers would open. To test its durability, we put a several hundred kilogram truck engine on it. Moreover, the manufacturer assures that the drawer can withstand up to 90 kg of load, so we decided to enter it to see if it is true and whether if we stand with our full weight in the drawer we will not simply break it. The stroller definitely passed the test with flying colors on every test! You can see it in the video on our YouTube channel.

Is it worth investing in a solid Milwaukee stroller?

Now consider what benefits purchasing a quality stroller can bring in the long run? Is it worth investing in a product that will not only meet the current needs of the workshop, but will also stand the test of time, guaranteeing reliability and durability?

It may happen that the investment cost will seem higher at the beginning, but as the history of the mentioned mechanic shows, such a stroller may prove to be an irreplaceable partner for many years. In today's rapidly changing business environment, forward thinking can be the key to success. Savings and efficiency definitely go hand in hand. Moreover, such thinking also means less equipment that we throw away, and we know perfectly well how important ecology is in today's world.
