The hotel trolley is a professional piece of equipment for cleaning rooms , managing linens and waste, and replenishing guest amenities in hotels and aparthotels. Adaptable to all work methods , its practicality reduces the physical strain on cleaning staff and employees, thus decreasing the risk of poor posture and workplace accidents (reducing musculoskeletal disorders).

Hotel trolleys: the types

There are two main types of hotel trolleys:
- The room trolley : Versatile and compact, it allows you to transport clean and dirty linen, keep cleaning products within easy reach, replenish guest amenities with toilet paper, garbage bags , air freshener and dispose of waste.
- The linen trolley : Dedicated to managing linen in rooms or in the restaurant, it facilitates the collection of dirty linen and the distribution of clean linen.
Some models combine these two functions for even more efficient organization.

Which model and configuration?

Before embarking on the purchase of a hotel trolley, it is essential to clearly define your needs and the specific characteristics of your establishment.
Assess your hotel's needs
Start by asking yourself the right questions:
What exactly do you want to transport and distribute with this trolley?
What tasks must be performed by the staff who work in the rooms?
Do you want to separate the clean laundry and dirty laundry circuits?
What type of room management and cleaning organization are you considering?

Hotel topography and traffic
The layout of your hotel is also a key factor. Carefully measure the width of the corridors, the size of the elevators, and the floor space of the service areas to ensure that trolleys can move around easily. Also, identify any potential obstacles, such as steps, to choose suitable models.
Prioritize robustness and maneuverability
A hotel trolley must be both sturdy and lightweight. It must be able to support heavy loads while remaining easy to maneuver, especially for female staff. Pay particular attention to the materials, wheels, and height of the trolley to ensure comfortable and safe use.
To enhance aesthetics and brand image
The floor trolley is a highly visible element for customers, so it must convey a positive brand image. Choose models with a refined design, harmonious finishes, and optimal organization to reflect the prestige of your establishment.
Determine the number of trolleys needed
The number of trolleys required depends on the size of your hotel, the organization of your housekeeping service, and your storage capacity. Some establishments opt for one trolley per floor, while others prefer to assign one to each housekeeping attendant. Manufacturers like Numatic and Rubbermaid offer ranges suited to different configurations, from 5 to 20 rooms per trolley.
