Blue Moulded Body
Most requested colour
Moulded through rather than applied. Blue holds its appearance through wear better than any light colour, which is most of why it is the most requested basket colour we make.
Moulded blue · twin folding handles · stacks flat
The twin-handle hand basket in blue — the single most requested basket colour in grocery retail, and the one that reads as retail rather than as industrial.
Studio angles on white, with close-ups below.
Blue is the most requested basket colour we make, and the reason is not just that blue is a common brand colour. A blue basket reads as retail equipment where black reads as industrial and white reads as clinical, and it holds its appearance through wear better than any light colour.
Everything else is the standard twin-handle build: handles that fold flat onto the rim, a perforated body light enough to carry loaded, and a taper that releases cleanly from the stack. It is the safe choice in this range and it is safe for good reasons.

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.
Blue is the default choice here, so these four are what makes a default worth having.

Weight and drainage
The perforations take weight out of the empty basket and let a wet item drain. On a mid-tone body the pattern also breaks up the surface, which is part of why blue ages visually better than a flat light colour.
Flat on the rim
Both handles fold flat so the column stays clean. It is the same mechanism across every twin-handle build here, and it is what a stack of forty depends on.
Clean release
The taper releases cleanly from the basket below. A jammed stack is the fastest way to make staff stop restacking properly, and it costs you the tidy entrance you paid for.
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.
Baskets stack, which makes them the densest thing we ship. A column of nested baskets is close to solid plastic, so the freight cost per basket is a fraction of anything else in this catalogue — which is why baskets are almost always added to a container that is going anyway rather than shipped on their own. 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 first.
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 display tablesHow 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.
Blue is the safe answer here, and it is safe for real reasons.
Send your colour reference. If you do not have one, blue is the default we would recommend, and this page explains why rather than just asserting it.
The four that come up on nearly every enquiry for this build. If yours is not here, send it with your layout and it is answered alongside the quotation.
Partly because it is a common brand colour and partly because it reads as retail rather than industrial or clinical. It also survives wear far better than any light colour, which matters on a fleet with a five-year life.
It is matched to your reference. Moulded plastic and printed ink never look identical under every light, and we will tell you honestly how close a given reference gets.
More than most buyers think. It takes weight out of the empty basket, lets wet items drain, and on a mid-tone body it breaks up the surface so wear reads less obviously.
Yes, and we would recommend it. It is the most requested colour in this range for reasons that are practical as much as aesthetic.
