Open Carrier Frame
Holds bags upright
The frame holds bags at the height they were set down. Nothing has to be lifted out of a basket at the till, which on a store where every shopper has bags is real time at the lane.
Open frame · bags upright · no basket
A trolley with no basket at all: an open frame that holds shopping bags and boxes upright, for stores where shoppers arrive with their own bags or leave with cased goods.
Studio angles on white, with close-ups below.
A wire basket is the wrong container for a bag. Bags slump, boxes wedge at angles, and unloading either at the till means reaching into a basket and lifting them out. An open frame trolley holds them upright at the height they were set down at, and the shopper lifts them straight across to the counter.
It suits two quite different stores: one where shoppers bring their own bags and fill them as they go, and one selling cased or boxed goods where nothing loose is bought at all. In both, the basket on a conventional trolley is a container nobody uses.

Supermarkets, convenience stores, chain retail and speciality stores. Tell us the store format and the floor area and the specification comes back written against them.
With no basket, the frame is the entire product. All four of these are it.

Welded steel tube
With no basket bracing the frame, the junctions carry more of the load than on a conventional trolley. They are welded rather than bolted for exactly that reason.
Moulded, any colour
The same moulded handle as the rest of the fleet, so a store running carrier trolleys alongside conventional ones still has one visual family.
Full nesting
It nests like a conventional trolley. Without a basket there is less to foul, which makes this one of the tightest nesting builds in the range.
Every item on this page is made to order. Send a floor plan, a hand sketch or a photograph of a fixture you like, and we quote against it.
Store fixtures are light for their size, so a container fills up on volume long before it fills up on weight. What decides your freight is not what one unit weighs — it is what shape the goods are in when they go through the container door. Everything we build leaves in one of three shapes.
Shelving bays, produce islands and bulk cabinets travel as panels — uprights, shelves, back panels and plinths, strapped flat with bubble wrap on every component. They are built up on the shop floor, so the packing list and the assembly drawings travel with the goods.
Trolleys slide into one another and baskets stack. Past the first unit, each extra one adds only its nesting pitch instead of its full length, so the shipped volume ends up a fraction of what the unit count suggests.
This model
A checkout lane is welded, coated and fitted out as one piece, so it is crated whole with padding on the steel. Nothing waits to be assembled at the store beyond levelling it into the lane, and the crate is the counter plus a margin.
Trolleys are the one category where the unit count and the shipped volume are almost unrelated. They nest, so past the first unit each extra one adds only its nesting pitch instead of its full length — which is why a container of trolleys holds several times what the same container of assembled counters would. We do not publish litre capacities for this range. The figures circulating for it came from an old third-party listing rather than from our own production records, and they are being confirmed with the factory before they go on the site.
A trolley bay is part of the front of store, and what it stands next to decides how well it works.
The lane length has to leave room for a loaded trolley to turn out of it, which is a dimension worth checking before either is ordered.
See checkout countersAisle width is set by two loaded trolleys passing, so the shelving depth and the trolley size are one decision rather than two.
See shelving baysA promotion square at an aisle head is the first thing a trolley has to get past, and the clearance between them is worth drawing.
See promotional standsHow many of each a store needs is a floor area question rather than a product question, and it is answered store by store on the project page.

Send the dimensions of the bag or case your store issues. The frame is built to hold it upright, so it is dimensioned to your actual packaging rather than to a generic size.

Only as part of a mixed fleet. If your shoppers buy loose groceries they want a basket, and this trolley will sit unused. It earns its place where bags or cases are the normal unit of sale.

Better, in most cases — there is less to foul when they push together. That makes it one of the tightest builds in the range for container loading and bay space.
Yes, and it is the usual arrangement. They take the same handle and the same colour reference, so a mixed fleet still reads as one.
