High Capacity Trolley
Can someone please tell me what the weight limit of a HCT is? I've done a search but can't find the info. DIM has said that you fill it up to the top and push it, no limit just put as much as it will hold!
thanks
thanks

Re: High Capacity Trolley
• High Capacity Trolley – on flat/undulating terrain the max load is 70kg and the Max gross
weight 105kg. On steep terrain the max load is 40kg and Max gross weight 75kg. When
using a HCT you must load the front section with light/bulky items and mail to be delivered
first. The rear section should be loaded with most of the bundles of mail. When approaching
steep hills, ensure that only the rear section is loaded with letter mail in order to restrict the
load to below 40kg.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Re: High Capacity Trolley
Should there not be a risk assessment on the delivery route as well? We were meant to have them, but the terrain was not suitable.

Long live the HCT. much prefer them to carrying the mail or using bikes as they do near where i live. On the downside, once had a builder call me a "poof" for using one

I was against them at first but my reserve started using one on my walk .I gave it a go and after a settling in period it is great.All your undelivered packets can go in and you can break up walks into smaller pouches.
I wont be going back to a bike.
Slider tool. Lol.
