Roll Cages vs Pallet Dollies - Which Should You Choose?

Choosing the right handling equipment matters.

Efficient stock movement is at the heart of every successful operation, so not only is time saved, but more importantly, manual handling risks are reduced. It also improves safety and protects valuable goods. All important aspects to consider when moving your stock!

At Breg Products, we manufacture both roll cages and pallet dollies, each designed for specific tasks. But which is a better fit for your business?

What are roll cages?

Roll cages, also known as roll cage trolleys, are upright, wheeled units designed to move boxed or loose stock safely. With tall frames and multiple sides, they provide protection and organisation while remaining easy to push through narrow spaces.

Key benefits of roll cages

• Available in compact or tall formats to suit space and load requirements

• 3 or 4 sided options offer the right balance between accessibility and stock protection

• Can include lockable doors or shelves for extra security and organisation

• Ideal for retail, warehousing, logistics and healthcare deliveries.

What are pallet dollies?

Pallet dollies (sometimes called pallet dolly trucks) are low-profile platforms on castors, built to move palletised loads. Unlike roll cages, they don’t enclose goods, but they’re perfect for transporting heavy pallets quickly across warehouses, factories and loading areas.

Key benefits of pallet dollies

• Strong and stable, built for demanding industrial environments

• Speeds up the movement or palletised goods before forklift lifting

• Can be customised for different pallet sizes, loads and finishes

• Reduces strain on workers by replacing manual dragging or lifting

Which one should you choose?

The decision on which one you should choose depends on your workflow.

Choose roll cages if you need enclosed movement, stock security, or organisation for multiple smaller items. They’re a favourite in retail and healthcare, where goods must be transported safely through busy environments.

Choose pallet dollies if your priority is moving heavy, palletised loads over shorter distances, often as part of a larger warehouse system. They excel in manufacturing and logistics operations.

In many businesses, both solutions work side by side. Pallet dollies for bulk pallet handling and roll cages for secure stock movement through tighter spaces.
