Why Investing in Manual Handling Equipment is Essential
Manual handling and lifting are responsible for over a third of all workplace injuries, according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Investing in top-notch manual handling equipment is vital for preventing accidents and ensuring smooth operations. At PARRS, we’ve compiled a list of must-have equipment to help you maintain high health and safety standards in your workplace.
Sack Trucks
Sack trucks are a staple in warehouses, retail stores, distribution centres, and offices. They make moving heavy boxes and bulky items a breeze. In warehouses, sack trucks simplify the transport of large loads, while in retail settings, they streamline stock handling. Offices find them useful for managing supplies and archive boxes.
For specific needs, check out our stair-climbing sack trucks for navigating buildings without lifts, or our convertible sack truck models that adapt to various tasks. We offer lightweight standard models, heavy-duty versions, folding options, and specialised types for items like chairs and appliances.

Pallet Trucks
Pallet trucks are indispensable in warehousing, manufacturing, logistics, and distribution. They make moving pallets across flat surfaces simple, which is crucial for handling raw materials and finished products. High-lift pallet trucks are particularly useful for stacking and accessing higher shelves, reducing the need for manual lifting.
We offer both standard and high-lift models to meet various needs. Check out our Pallet Truck Selection Guide to discover the perfect option for your business.
Mobile Scissor Lift Tables
Mobile scissor lift tables are perfect for production lines, workshops, shipping areas, and assembly stations. They provide adjustable work surfaces, reducing strain during repetitive tasks and making heavy item handling easier. Our models support loads from 150kg up to 2000kg, offering versatility for different applications.
Choose between standard models for general use or heavy-duty options for more demanding tasks.
Stackers
Stackers are designed for warehouses, retail environments, manufacturing plants, and distribution centres. They help with efficient stacking and organisation of stock. Manual stackers are great for smaller operations with lighter lifting needs, while powered stackers are suited for larger warehouses with frequent heavy lifting.
Discover the best stacker for your needs in our Stacker Equipment Guide.
Turntable Trucks
Turntable trucks are excellent for logistics companies, construction sites, and manufacturing facilities. They offer exceptional manoeuvrability in tight spaces, making them ideal for moving large or bulky items. Rotating platforms help navigate narrow aisles and corners.
We provide both standard and heavy-duty models to cater to various needs. Explore our Turntable Trucks Guide for the best solution for your workspace. For more tips, read our blog post, Effortless Manoeuvres: Mastering Workplace Efficiency with PARRS’ Turntable Trucks.

Our range includes standard dollies, heavy-duty models, and furniture skates for different tasks. Wooden, steel or aluminium dollies are available.
Platform Trucks and Trolleys
Platform trucks and trolleys are versatile tools for healthcare facilities, educational institutions, retail stores, and warehouses. They help transport medical supplies, classroom materials, and large quantities of stock.
We offer folding platform trucks for limited storage spaces and heavy-duty models for more demanding tasks. Find the best options in our Ultimate Guide to Selecting the Right Platform Trucks & Trolleys.

Pipe and Tube Trolleys
Pipe and tube trolleys are designed for construction sites, manufacturing plants, plumbing services, and warehouses. They facilitate the movement of long, heavy pipes and cylindrical materials.
Shoulder Dolly
The Shoulder Dolly is a two-person lifting system designed to make moving heavy, bulky loads easier and safer. This innovative tool uses leverage and the strength of your legs and shoulders, keeping your hands free to stabilise the load and perform tasks like opening doors. The adjustable strap accommodates various load sizes, making it a versatile tool for lifting and moving.
Roll Pallets
Roll pallets, also known as roll containers, roll cages, and cage trolleys, are essential for securely transporting goods. They help protect both products and personnel, making them a must-have for businesses that frequently handle and move items.
Our range includes various sizes and designs, such as A-frame, demountable, and extra-secure roll containers. Additionally, we offer accessories like attachable waste recycling pockets.
