This Week’s Product Pick: Armorgard FlexiKart

Move materials with less effort.

The Armorgard Ltd FlexiKart is designed to make moving heavy and bulky loads around site simple. Its four swivel castors allow easy manoeuvring through tight spaces, standard doorways and corridors, helping keep materials moving wherever they’re needed. This gives you a stronger opening without repeating the same point.

With a load capacity of up to 750kg, it’s ideal for moving materials such as tubes, planks and pallets, helping reduce physical strain and keep your site organised. Its folding arms offer versatile support, while built-in lashing points help keep loads secure during transit. But it’s not just about the kit we hire. It’s about the service behind it.
