Product Overview
Built Around Load, Movement, Storage and Safety
Doing Metal can customize trolley structure based on your drawings, product photos, sample design, working environment, and quantity target. We review frame strength, caster layout, platform or shelf design, finish, and packing before quotation.
Buyer Problem and Custom Solution
Film and TV buyers move expensive cameras, lights, monitors, cables, batteries, and cases. Ordinary carts often lack dividers, cable hooks, protection, quiet wheels, and stable shelf spacing.
Doing Metal Solution
We design shelf height, rail guards, hooks, dividers, padded zones, case storage, battery tray, monitor position, wheel type, and brake layout around the real equipment list and studio route.
Multi-layer storage options
Shelf height, dividers, padded zones, battery trays and case positions should be based on the actual equipment list.
Smooth and quiet mobility
Quiet rolling and stable parking are important when the cart moves through studios, stages, venues and finished floors.
Custom shelves, rails, and handle layout
Confirm shelf dimensions, cable hooks, rail guards, handle direction, brake layout, logo and packing around the production workflow.
Customization
Custom Options to Confirm Before Quotation
These options change material use, process route, tooling, assembly time, packing volume, and final cost.
Camera, case, and monitor shelf size
Cable hooks and accessory rails
Dividers, guards, or padded zones
Quiet wheels for studio floors
Brake casters and stable parking
Brand color, label, and packing
Engineering Choices
Key Details That Change Trolley Performance and Cost
Foreign material handling buyers often compare the same trolley by load class, wheel system, ergonomic design, towing method, surface finish, and packing. Confirming these details early helps avoid under-built carts and unnecessary cost.
Frame and Deck
Tube size, plate thickness, reinforcement ribs, weld layout, and deck surface should match the real load, cargo footprint, and impact during use.
Caster Layout
Two fixed plus two swivel wheels, four swivel wheels, brake casters, pneumatic tires, or larger PU wheels can be selected for different routes and floor conditions.
Push, Pull or Tow
Manual push handles, double handles, tow bars, coupling arms, forklift handling, or AGV interface requirements can be reviewed for custom projects.
Safety and Parking
Brake position, side rails, mesh guards, anti-slip decks, wheel locks, and load distribution help make the trolley safer during loading and parking.
Finish Durability
Powder coating, galvanizing, stainless steel, or custom color should be selected based on indoor/outdoor use, corrosion exposure, and brand requirements.
Export Packing
Assembled, semi-assembled, knock-down, carton, pallet, and spare wheel packing options affect freight volume, assembly time, and after-sales support.

Load path from deck or shelves into the welded frame
Handle height, reach, turning space and operator access
Hole, slot and bend clearance around assembly interfaces
Finish build-up around threads, hinges and moving parts
Assembled or knock-down packing volume and protection

FAQ
Common Questions Before Ordering Custom Trolleys
Can you customize the size?
Yes. Overall size, platform size, shelf layout, cage size, handle height, and wheel configuration can be customized based on your use case.
Can I send a photo instead of a drawing?
Yes. Photos, samples, sketches, and use requirements can start the review. Drawings are recommended for accurate quotation and production.
Which wheel should I choose?
Wheel choice depends on load, floor type, noise requirement, movement distance, brake needs, and whether the trolley is pushed, pulled, or parked on slopes.
Can the trolley be foldable?
Foldable handles, foldable cages, removable shelves, and knock-down packing can be discussed when storage space or freight volume is important.
Do you support OEM branding?
Custom color, logo plate, label, carton artwork, and distributor packing can be reviewed for OEM and private-label trolley programs.
Can it work with towing equipment?
For heavy loads or long routes, please confirm tow bar, coupling arm, forklift, tugger cart, or AGV interface requirements during the RFQ stage.
What is the MOQ?
MOQ depends on the structure, material, wheel sourcing, tooling and packing plan. We confirm prototype, first article and batch requirements in the quotation.
Can you quote from a PDF, DWG, DXF or STEP file?
Yes. Those formats are accepted for review, and reference photos or samples are useful when the drawing does not show the working environment.
How is lead time confirmed?
Lead time is confirmed after the drawing revision, material, quantity, finish, wheel model and packing method are agreed. We avoid giving a generic date that does not fit the project.
Can you provide supplier approval documents?
Tell us which documents your purchasing team needs. Material, inspection, packing and project records can be discussed, while certifications are published only after internal verification.
How will the trolley be packed?
We can review assembled, semi-assembled or knock-down packing, including cartons, pallets, hardware bags, labels and finish protection according to the shipping plan.
Can I request a sample or first article?
Yes. Sample or first-article review can be discussed according to the drawing maturity, project quantity, tooling and approval process.
