The Tote Trolley is a flexible classroom storage solution designed to organise resources or provide individual storage for every student in the class.

Twin wheel castors allow the trolley to be moved to the side of the room or into position as needed throughout the school day.

• Holds between 5 and 32 Furnware Tote Trays depending on configuration

The Tote Trolley gives teachers a practical way to keep classroom resources organised and students’ belongings tidy. Allocating a tray to each student provides a personal storage point that is easy to manage and return to independently, freeing up desk and floor space and reducing clutter in the learning environment. Alternatively, trolleys can be used to organise shared class resources by subject, activity or group.
The wide range of available configurations – from a compact 1-bay-wide trolley to a 4-bay unit holding up to 32 trays – means the right size can be matched to any classroom layout and class size. Popular configurations include 2 bays wide by 8 trays high (16 trays) for a mid-sized class, and 3 bays wide by 6 trays high (18 trays) for a class that needs slightly more floor width and a lower overall height.
Twin wheel castors allow the trolley to be moved easily to the edge of the room during activities, repositioned alongside desks for distribution, or wheeled to a new classroom. The durable low pressure laminate finish is available in an extended colour range and designed for the regular handling of a busy classroom.

The Tote Trolley helps create organised, clutter-free classrooms by giving students a consistent, accessible home for their personal resources. Independent access to personal trays supports self-management and reduces unnecessary movement around the room during lessons. Moving the trolley to the side of the room during floor activities or reconfiguration keeps teaching spaces safe and clear.
