Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grand Hotel in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, needed to upgrade its housekeeping fleet. Their old, mismatched trolleys were causing delays and looked unprofessional, leading to multiple trips to the main supply closet for simple room turnovers.
"The Jantex trolleys have been brilliant. Our staff can load up everything they need for a whole floor at the start of their shift. They’re sturdy, they move well, and they look the part. It’s the small efficiencies that add up to a big difference in a busy hotel."
Robert Davies – Operations Manager
The result was tangible: The hotel reported that their housekeeping team now completes their room-cleaning rounds 15% faster, allowing more time for deep cleaning tasks and attention to detail.

Setting It Up
- Before you begin, unpack all components in a clear, open space to ensure nothing is missing.

- Firmly tighten all screws and ensure all parts click securely into place before its first use.
- Attach the vinyl waste bag correctly to its dedicated frame for stability.
Keeping It Going
- At the end of each day, wipe down the frame and shelves with a damp cloth and a mild detergent.
- Regularly check the castors for trapped debris like hair or thread, which can affect movement.
- Empty and clean the waste bag after every shift to maintain hygiene and prevent odours.
- Avoid overloading the shelves beyond their intended capacity to ensure long-term durability.

When we talk about 'smooth-rolling castors', it sounds like a minor detail, but it's crucial for day-to-day use. Think of the difference between a cheap shopping trolley with a wonky, rattling wheel and a high-end suitcase that glides silently beside you. One causes frustration, noise, and requires constant effort to steer straight; the other makes moving heavy loads feel weightless. This Jantex trolley is the suitcase. Its quality wheels allow staff to navigate busy corridors, pivot in tight spaces like bathrooms, and move across different floor types without leaving scuff marks. In a quiet hotel, hospital, or office, this silent, effortless movement is not just a convenience—it’s a mark of professionalism that reduces disruption and staff fatigue.
