How Are Mobile Storage Trucks Used in Schools and Facilities Management?

Mobile storage trucks are widely used across schools and facilities management teams to move equipment, waste, cleaning supplies and catering materials safely and efficiently. A high-quality mobile storage truck reduces manual handling, improves organisation and supports smooth daily site operations.

How Do Schools Use Mobile Storage Trucks?

• Transporting cleaning equipment between buildings
• Moving maintenance tools and workshop materials
• Collecting recycling and general waste
• Supporting catering clear-down and food preparation areas
• Organising classrooms, art rooms and DT workshops

Compared to manual carrying, plastic storage bins on wheels allow larger loads to be moved in one journey - improving efficiency and reducing strain.

What Size Mobile Storage Truck Is Best for Schools?

For education environments, mid-sized industrial mobile containers offer the best balance of capacity and manoeuvrability. The 200L and 320L models are particularly well suited to corridors, service areas and multi-building campuses.
