Frequently Asked Questions

What weight capacity do I need for standard plasterboard? For standard residential plasterboard applications, the 150kg model typically suffices. Commercial operations or moving multiple boards simultaneously benefit from 250kg or 350kg models.

Can board trolleys transport glass panels? Some Stubbs board trolley models can transport glass with appropriate precautions, but always verify specifications. Many operations prefer specialized glass trolleys with cushioned supports.

How do Stubbs board trolleys differ from competitors? Stubbs board trolleys feature superior British manufacturing, heavier-gauge steel construction, professional-grade powder coating, and 188 years of engineering refinement that generic alternatives cannot match.

Are replacement parts available? Yes, as a long-established British manufacturer, Stubbs provides parts support for all their equipment, ensuring long-term serviceability.

What's the typical lifespan of a Stubbs board trolley? With proper use and basic maintenance, Stubbs board trolleys routinely provide 10-20+ years of reliable service in demanding professional environments.

Can the trolley navigate building sites? Yes, the large front wheels and robust construction handle uneven ground, construction debris, and site conditions effectively. However, extremely rough terrain may require assisted movement.

Is assembly required? Most Stubbs board trolleys arrive fully assembled or require minimal setup. Specific assembly requirements vary by model.
