Townlec Auto Electrical
A main Lift Easy supplier

Richmond trolleys, crates and gate hardware, Cairns.

Richmond Rolling Solutions describe themselves as a family-owned Australian manufacturer of over 65 years, with manufacturing and distribution across Australia and New Zealand. Their range is castors and wheels, trolleys and dollies, sliding gate hardware, plastic storage, conveyor gear and stainless equipment for food service — and they are one of the two main suppliers behind the Lift Easy range. The gate bay, the crates and the trolleys are on the floor at our Cairns store on Scott St.

Richmond stocked here
Our position

Two shelves, two arrangements, and it is worth knowing which is which before you drive anywhere. The materials handling side — sliding gate hardware, trolleys and hand trucks, and crates — is held at the Cairns store. The trailer side, the jockey wheels and spares, is ordered in to the Townsville workshop and is the part you will find in the online shop — and anything on the Cairns shelf can be ordered in to Townsville as well. Ring whichever is closer and we will tell you which shelf your part is on rather than letting you find out on arrival.

What we carry

The range, and where we keep it.

Sliding gate hardware

The gate bay, on the floor at Cairns. Gate track wheels, M12 and M14 nylon gate rollers, hanging gate roller sets and brackets.

Gate motors and remotes

Richmond's powered sliding gate motor, a 240V AC unit.

Trolleys, hand trucks and dollies

On the floor at Cairns — hand trucks, stair-climbing trolleys and platform trolleys.

Castors and wheels

Richmond make castors and wheels as well, and the Fallshaw wall is at the same Cairns store — two ranges to match a bolt pattern, a wheel material and a load rating from.

Crates and plastic storage

Ventilated stacking crates in the trolley bay. Unglamorous, and the thing that actually moves stock around a kitchen, a store room or a workshop.

Jockey wheels and trailer spares

The trailer side, ordered in to the Townsville workshop and listed in our online shop. Swing-up jockey wheels in 200mm and 250mm, spare wheels for both, and replacement handles.

On the floor

Worth knowing

The honest take.

Richmond's range is sold in plenty of places, so the honest question is what buying it here gets you. Two things. It is on a shelf you can walk to in Cairns rather than in transit, which matters when a gate is off its track or a trolley has stopped rolling. And the Fallshaw castor wall is in the same Cairns store.

FAQ

Richmond, answered.

Where can I buy Richmond gate hardware in Cairns?+
At our Cairns store, Lift Easy Townlec, 178 Scott St, Bungalow. The sliding gate bay is on the floor there — track wheels, nylon gate rollers, hanging roller sets, brackets and gear racks — along with the powered gate motor and remotes.
What size sliding gate roller do I need?+
It depends on the channel your gate runs in and the weight it carries. The hanging gate roller sets come in 25mm, 38mm and 55mm, and the nylon gate rollers in M12 and M14. Bring the old one in, or a photo of the gate and the track, and we will match it at the counter.
8 inch (200mm) or 10 inch (250mm) jockey wheel?+
The larger wheel rolls more easily over gravel, grass and beach launches; the 200mm suits sealed surfaces. By Richmond's listing, the 250mm swing-up adjusts from 650 to 910mm and the 200mm from 600 to 890mm. Spare wheels and replacement handles are sold for both.
